Overview

• Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson said on a new episode of Insider Gaming Weekly that the next mainline entry will equip Kratos with an “Egyptian sword.”
• He compared the blade to the weapon used in Prince of Persia, suggesting a scimitar or khopesh style.
• The report revives long-running speculation that the series will move into Egyptian mythology, which was previously teased in concept art and in-game nods.
• Coverage emphasizes that the claim is unconfirmed and should be treated as a rumor.
• Separate reports suggest a different God of War release—a side-scrolling Greek-themed spin-off—could arrive in 2026 before any mainline installment.
