[[WMG: The future of the series is Aztec, Japanese, ''and'' Egyptian.]]
Most fans have always hoped to see Egyptian mythology in the next saga, being the typical natural extension of any universe in which both Greek and Norse mythology are true. In the ''Valhalla'' DLC, the Host uses weapons from his travels: Egyptian khopeshes, an Aztec club, and a katana. If anything, this emphasizes the fact that every time Egyptian myth is hinted at throughout the Norse saga, Aztec and Japanese motifs are right there alongside it. I think what the Norse saga was trying to tell us all along is that the next saga, perhaps revolving around Atreus's travels to other realms, will consist of all three of those mythologies at once. Building on that, the "rise of Christianity" ending considered for the series since at least early development of ''God of War II'' and ''III'' might still be on the table: perhaps despite Atreus's best efforts, his family's travels through a pantheon's lands are always destined to end in that pantheon's destruction; taking out three at once would be a disaster characteristic of the mythical Loki.

* Actually, I think if Kratos does become Old Testament God and ends up having a mortal son, he'll manage to break the OedipusComplex cycle because as we have seen, Kratos actually cares about his family. Considering that he has nightmares about murdering his family every time he sleeps, he had a {{Heroic BSOD}} when Ares murdered replicas of them while he was helpless to stop it, he gave up all his powers just to be with Calliope in Chains of Olympus, he was begging for forgiveness from Gaia when she appeared as his wife (before she revealed it was her)in GOW 2, and that the only times he ever actually acts heroic is when it concerns his family... I find it very hard to believe he'd mistreat Jesus. It would explain why God was ready to go on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge when Jesus was crucified before Christ convinced him. In fact, I'm gonna make a big guess here and say Jesus actually manages to MAKE Kratos a DefectorFromDecadence and into the New Testament God we know and many love. Yeah, i know it damn well isn't likely but you have to admit it would make for one helluva SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}.

The other thing, tge only elemental power we see in the demo is ice, via Kratos's axe. It could be postulated then that the axe is Jotunn related.

[[WMG: Both Mimir and Odin's stories about how he lost the eye are true]]

Yes, Mimir's story is probably true, and it is in character for Odin to lie about something that meaningless, but that doesn't mean he ''has'' to be lying that specific time. Tyr proves that gods can regrow lost body parts, and if he's resourceful enough to do it, then Odin probably is too. So, the order of events goes something like this:

* Odin gets duped by Mimir and tears out one eye.
* Odin regenerates that eye.
* Odin decides it's a good idea to take a peek into the rift with said renewed eye, potentially getting overconfident because he regrew it the first time.
* The magic of the rift burns out Odin's eye, this time beyond his ability to heal.

[[WMG: Kratos is the god of change.]]
Ever since the first game, Kratos has had the odd ability to change things so they work out for him. It also explains why in the earlier games we get to use PressXToNotDie and in Ragnarok change how he goes about doing things after visiting the Nord sisters. Not all change is good or bad, but things turn out very different no matter what he does.

Both movies share a powerful female villain with octopus traits who turns into a kraken-like creature, tries to subdue the protagonist with glamour spells, summons a giant whirlpool to kill them and meets her end by being speared with the prow of a ship (a trireme in the game, a shipwrecked sailing ship in the movie).

* While this theory is nearly dead, it should be noted that the... ''thing'' Athena turned into in the third game does not make any sense. Gods who die ''with their power intact'' are effectively DeaderThanDead; every resurrection in the franchise requires the target to be significantly weaker than a full god, and Athena exploded with the force of a nuke like her brother, signifying what should have been her permadeath. Her agenda as a spirit does not fit her agenda as a goddess. In fact, her personality - her support and goading of Kratos' talents at genocide, a façade of kindness around children she wants to manipulate, and an outburst of temper when she can't control Kratos at the very end - is disturbingly ''familiar''...
