When the newest God of War game released in 2018, fans were reintroduced to Kratos and discovered he was living in the realm of Norse mythology. Kratos went to Midgard and made a new life for himself with his mysterious wife, Faye, and their son Atreus. However, the game never talks about how Kratos made it all the way there from Greece, but that has been resolved in a new comic. SPOILERS AHEAD for God of War: Fallen God #1.

Fans will get their chance to see part of this story with God of War's new tie-in prequel comic: God of War: Fallen God #1, published by Dark Horse Comics on March 10. The comic's premise is that Kratos is on a journey to leave Greece and put his past behind him. Of course, the Ghost of Sparta finds this to be one of the most difficult challenges for him. However, there are hints in the comic that Kratos will meet other Gods in his travels.

The comic begins after the conclusion of God of War 3, as Kratos seeks to depart his homeland. However, his journey proves to be mentally taxing on him due in no small part to the Blades of Chaos, his primary weapons. He tried in vain to hurl the cursed weapons into the sea, but they magically found their way back to him. Enraged, Kratos would travel far and wide to get away from the accursed weapons, and would arrive in Egypt.

There, Kratos encounters several mysterious figures who deliver cryptic messages about the Ghost of Sparta's destiny throughout the comic. These figures include an old man, a talking primate, and a talking majestic bird. By this point, Kratos' mental state is pushed to the limits by the blades and his self-inflicted sleep deprivation, so he questions his sanity by the time he meets the bird.

At face value, these figures could be members of the Egyptian pantheon in disguise. The 2018 God of War already referenced Egyptian deities, as the father-son duo and their friendly disembodied head, Mimir, discovered a tapestry with symbols from different mythologies, including the Egyptian and Greek.

Right before discovering this, the characters come across a treasure room filled with valuables from other lands, including Egypt. In this room, players can interact with it and Mimir briefly says, "That's from a great desert land very far from here." Atreus asks if Gods live there, and Mimir responds by saying, "Many, many gods." The chances of the mysterious figures in the comic being Egyptian Gods is possible, but that doesn't mean they'll all be enemies to Kratos.

This is hinted at when Atreus asks if the Egyptian Gods are good or bad, to which Mimir says, "Not as simple as that, I'm afraid." This leaves the possibility that Kratos can encounter the Egyptian Gods in the comic series in some capacity, as either friends or foes.

God of War is available now on PS4.
