Six years after Kratos returned to PlayStation consoles, God of War: Ragnarökreleased to immense critical acclaim. The sequel was first teased at the end of the 2018 soft reboot in a secret ending where Kratos and his son Atreus encounter the god of thunder, Thor, who is looking for a fight. Ragnarök takes place three years after the events of the first game.
With the end of the long blizzard of Fimbulwinter, the Norse apocalypse known as Ragnarök will soon descend to destroy the nine realms and all who reside within them.
This follow-up featured plenty of twists and quite a few major character deaths (no spoilers here), but will there be another game after God of War: Ragnarök? Originally, Ragnarök was thought to be the end, but a new leak suggests there might be more on the horizon.

Will there be another game after 'God of War: Ragnarök'?
Anyone who's played the 2018 God of War already knows that there's far more story to tell. Entirely different realms exist outside of Midgar and Kratos' home of Sparta, each of them with their own pantheon of gods and deities.
Kratos' death was also teased at the end of the first game through a mural in Jötunheim that told past, present, and future. However, eagle-eyed viewers may have caught a glimpse of one more future mural, in which Atreus travels without his father with a pack of wolves.
There's plenty of real estate left for the franchise to continue, but will there be another game after Ragnarök? So far, we already know that this game will be the end of the Norse saga of God of War. Unlike the original games set in Sparta, the Norse arc will not conclude as a trilogy.
Though developer Santa Monica Studios has made comments to lead fans to conclude that there's not going to be another game, a semi-reputable leaker has suggested there's another already in the works.

Former leaker The Snitch (@insider_wtf on Twitter) tweeted on Aug. 24 "Project 'God of War: Ragnarok DLC' is on the way. Here we go." This was quickly picked up by others, with YouTuber RapidReacts claiming that "Project Giant" is actually an Atreus-centered DLC that has now been morphed into a full-length game, similar to Spider-Man: Miles Morales or Uncharted: The Lost Legacy.

Unfortunately, there isn't really any further evidence to back this up — Twitter even added a note to the original tweet by The Snitch clarifying that "Santa Monica said that DLC is 'unlikely'" and concluding "This tweet was made for bait and views."
But despite the evidence pointing otherwise, plenty of fans have long been hopeful for at least a DLC to expand the God of War lore even further.

Given that Kratos and Atreus are already privy to multiple realities, there's a chance that the story could continue through one of those pantheons. In fact, fans already have their sights set on one of them.
In a fan poll held on the God of War subreddit, many fans wished to see the series tackle Egyptian mythology next. That could mean that Kratos (or just Atreus) would take on the likes of Anubis, Bast, or even Khonshu.
Even without an official announcement, we can safely assume that God of War's new found success in the late 2010s and early 2020s has assured the franchise's continued longevity.
God of War: Ragnarök is now available on PlayStation 4 and 5.
While Santa Monica Studio has stated that last year's God of War Ragnarok is the final chapter in Kratos's Norse saga, its ending does leave a few narrative plot threads open for a future installment, with either Kratos returning in yet another mythical land or his son Atreus stepping into the lead role on his own ...
During his exile, Kratos travels to Egypt. During his travel, he would constantly try to get rid of the Blades of Chaos only for them to return to him, which drove Kratos insane. When Egyptian villagers saw the Spartan, they immediately flee and hide, for fear of being killed.
It was also revealed that Ragnarök would conclude the Norse era of the series. The main reason Santa Monica decided to end the Norse era with Ragnarök was due to the game's size and scale.
It seems highly likely that another surefire-hit God of War is in the works at Sony Santa Monica, this time no-doubt a PS5 exclusive. While we wait to find out what the developer has in store for the God of War story, check out IGN's interview with Sony Santa Monica to discuss the Valhalla DLC.
Jesus would be down for the ten count and then some before he rolled that boulder away. However, that's not Jesus' only special power. Kratos pretty much just has 'healing' and 'strong' - ideal qualities for a fighter, but not all that creative. Jesus, if he can think outside the box, is onto a winner.
In God of War: Fallen God #1 published by Dark Horse Comics it is revealed that Kratos fled Greece in an attempt to leave his horrible and bloody past behind. This is an interesting angle to take for the demigod as his entire character is built upon remorseless anger and utter lack of empathy.
So, in the first God of War we are told that Kratos is a mortal. It's not until the second game we learn he is a demi-god. Regardless of this fact, the result is the same: no mortal being could possibly hope to defeat or kill a god.
The ”Týr” that Kratos and Atreus had freed in Svartalfheim was actually Odin in disguise, who posed as his own son as a means to infiltrate Kratos' circle of allies and know their plans. This also unexpectedly led him to discover the secret prophecies that the Jötnar had hidden in their shrines.
Here's what to look out for, and how to see everything the God of War Ragnarok secret ending has to offer: If you speak to Lunda, who now runs the Dwarves' forges, she'll tell you they're saying goodbye to Brok in Svartalfheim.
After completing the main story, players will be able to find the real Tyr in the Aesir Prison Wreckage area of Niflheim as part of the Broken Prison favor, which becomes available when players visit the Raven Tree after completing the game.
The mural shows three men walking towards a star in the sky, alluding the journey of the Three Wise Men towards the birth of Jesus Christ guided by the Star of Bethlehem. This also signifies that after the end of the Greek Gods, Christianity has surfaced alongside other religions of the world.
