Kratos’ New Weapon in God of War 6 Reportedly Revealed

by

There’s a lot of buzz about the next *God of War* game, and the most popular idea is that it will take place in Egypt. It’s still unclear who will be the main character – Kratos or his son Atreus – but a recent leak might offer a clue. A new weapon has surfaced, and given the series’ focus on iconic weapons like Kratos’ Blades of Chaos, it could reveal the game’s setting and direction.

Tom Henderson from Insider Gaming reports that the next *God of War* game will feature Kratos wielding an Egyptian sword. While the specific type isn’t known, it’s described as being similar to swords used in *Prince of Persia*, potentially a khopesh or sickle sword. Henderson mentioned this briefly in a podcast, stating it will be Kratos’ primary weapon.

Okay, so there’s a rumor going around, and it’s got me thinking. We all remember in the last *God of War* game, Kratos got the Leviathan Axe from his wife, Faye, before he even had the Blades of Chaos again. That axe felt *really* personal, you know? Now, everyone’s speculating about what a new weapon means if he ends up in Egypt. It’s hard to imagine Kratos getting married again, so if he *does* pick up a new weapon, it’s gotta be more than just a simple upgrade, right? It makes you wonder what the story behind it will be.

One possibility is that Atreus and Angrboda journey to Egypt, and Kratos must rescue them. Atreus might have found the blade and given it to Kratos, or Kratos could discover it himself and understand its significance within Egyptian legends.

For years, Egypt has been considered as a possible location for a future *God of War* game, with Sony Santa Monica discussing it as early as 2018. While *God of War Ragnarök* continued the story in Norse mythology, hints within those games, along with discovered concept art, suggest Kratos could eventually journey to Africa. However, the next game might not be a full sequel; rumors suggest a spin-off could take Kratos back to Greece. Any completely new mythology will likely be reserved for a major installment, potentially *God of War 6*, though the release date for that remains unknown.
