Leak Points to Egyptian Sword for Kratos in Next Mainline God of War

An unverified claim from Insider Gaming's Tom Henderson renews Egypt-setting speculation, with no comment from Santa Monica Studio.

Overview

  • Tom Henderson said on Insider Gaming's podcast that Kratos would wield an “Egyptian sword” similar to the Prince of Persia blade, possibly a khopesh.
  • Reports tie the claim to the next mainline entry often referred to as God of War 6, while the official title, release window, and lead character remain unknown.
  • Coverage highlights the series’ pattern of setting-linked weapons and references past teases and concept art pointing to Egyptian mythology.
  • Outlets underscore that the information is an unconfirmed leak and urge caution until PlayStation or Santa Monica Studio makes an announcement.
  • Separate rumors point to a Greece-set, side-scrolling Metroidvania spin-off that could launch before any mainline installment exploring Egypt.
