The popular God of War series is known for its exploration of famous mythologies. The series originally centered around Kratos, a man consumed by his desire for revenge against the Greek pantheon that wronged him. Over the course of the first three games, and a few spin-offs, he wipes out most of the Olympian gods. When it came to bringing Kratos back for 2018's God of War, the developers at Santa Monica Studio decided to shift towards Norse mythology, and it proved a massive hit. Once the Norse storyline is concluded, it is likely future games will see other mythologies make an appearance.
