Didn't see a thread on this.

This new juicy tidbit comes courtesy of Shinobi. I CANNOT WAIT!

Bring on all those Norse motherfuckers. Can't wait to tear them new holes.

E3 mayhaps?!

Lets now bitch and moan over whether they'll remove Kratos or not.

EDIT: Nerdleaks is on this too, it seems.

Concept art above.

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

anybody but kratos is ok with me

 

[Cyto]

So Uh, I'm not too educated with Norse Mythology, can someone tell me notable people in this area?

 

[valkillmore]

I'm viking this news.

 

[Raylan]

Kratos or bust! He IS the franchise. The God of War.

 

[Ad0ve]

Maybe the Shovel Knight boss was indeed teasing something...

 

[Mrbob]

Cool I'm down for this setting.

 

[BossDarkseid]

So Uh, I'm not too educated with Norse Mythology, can someone tell me notable people in this area?

Thor, Odin, Loki, Heimdall, Sif, Hel etc.

 

[Ydelnae]

I hope they don't make it generic.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

Franchise needs a shake up. Hopefully no Kratos

 

[vincenth69]

Everworld (book series) type of reasoning for that transition would be awesome.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

What if we play as a valkyrie?

 

[Gitaroo]

Bye bye hellblade.

 

[KyleCross]

Good.

 

[matthieuC]

That sounds fucking awesome

 

[Admiral Woofington]

I'm viking this news.

That pun wasnt very low key.

 

[-Horizon-]

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

I'm all for Kratos going and murdering the Norse gods for the sheer craic.

 

[Memento]

Wait, what?

Are they really changing mithology then? Wow.

I thought for sure it would still be greek, maybe some kind of reboot.

Interesting...

I wonder how they will explain everything?

 

[Manu]

Yeah. I'm down for this.

 

[El_Chino]

Kratos or bust! He IS the franchise. The God of War.

No.

Also Shinobi, do you know if this is one of those games meant to showcase PS4K?

 

[LowSignal]

So i imagine we play as Thor?

 

[h0tp0ck3t]

Nice. mash circle to bash Thor's head in with Mjolnir

 

[mdubs]

anybody but kratos is ok with me

/thread.

I'm down tho

Nice. mash circle to bash Thor's head in with Mjolnir

hopefully the boss battle isn't glitched this time

 

[Euron]

YES

I'd prefer without Kratos but honestly my biggest gripe was the mythology.

 

[TEH-CJ]

Kratos better be in....

 

[T.O.P]

anybody but kratos is ok with me

this

 

[Shmuppers]

YOOO RAGANAROK LET'S GOOOOO

 

[MindofKB]

I'm just happy we're getting more

 

[Ad0ve]

No Kratos No buy

 

[Filthy Casual]

Spoiler

too bad I'll be playing it in 20fps

 

[VilleEricson]

I've been wanting this since Vikings: Battle For Asgard (good game btw), and this can be awesome!

 

[Mr. Nice_Guy]

If true then my interest has been piqued. Wonder what they'll call it?

 

[Boke1879]

Kratos or not. I'm in.

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

It was time. we got, what, six kratos games? Only so much revenging one guy can convincingly do

 

[Xeteh]

There really needs to be more games with Vikings.

 

[The Last One]

So i imagine we play as Thor?

I don't think we'll play as a god.

 

[Sojgat]

anybody but kratos is ok with me

.

 

[Raylan]

So Uh, I'm not too educated with Norse Mythology, can someone tell me notable people in this area?

No.

Yes

 

[Loudninja]

Nice.

 

[RaidenXZ]

It's going to be a shame when we smash his face in with Mjolnir lol

 

[jet1911]

I will buy a PS4K if this happens.

 

[Illucio]

Kratos needs to die. (As the main protagonist. Keep him around, but let's move on from his story.)

Lets have a new God of War protagonist. A tough and strong female Kratos would be epic. I would love to play as a strong brute of a women who becomes a God. The women in Norse are all tough and strong, give them a nice thick accent and we have a very interesting character.

 

[Corpsepyre]

It makes all the sense in the world that they'd continue this after 3, with Kratos in there, given how it ended, with his body missing in the end. So many interesting directions they can take this to!

 

[DeepEnigma]

I hope they don't make it generic.

Was their take on Greek Mythos 'generic'?

 

[djplaeskool]

That works.
Norse mythology has a high "brutal" quotient.

 

[Athreous]

Goddess of War and you control a Valkyrie = Pure win!

 

[d00d3n]

anybody but kratos is ok with me

Rest assured that Kratos will be saved for the inevitable olympians vs. aesir match up game.

 

[Already Torn]

Norse is one of the more violent ones with the most recognizable gods after Greek, so it's the obvious choice. Got a bump from Thor too.

 

[Joey Ravn]

I'm having a massive dèja vu reading this thread.

Not in the sense of "these are rumors I've heard before", but as in "I have read this thread before".

Freaky.
