References to Egypt and its curious history with Greece during this part of the franchise's timeline aren't limited to these walls, either. What's arguably more interesting about their presence within the city's international hub is that they allude to some form of relationship between Greece and Egypt having been established within the universe. Even though the messages they contain have been obscured by cloth, it appears that at least one of them makes references to the sun god Aton. Within the game's Gates of Athens port-themed section, players can uncover three walls that have been decorated with Egyptian hieroglyphics.

While the existence of other mythologies beyond Greece's pantheon has become a large aspect of the God of War franchise since its 2018 soft-reboot, some fans might not be aware that the original 2005 PS2 installment contains specific references to Egypt's folklore as well. RELATED: Why Atreus Still Doesn't Understand Kratos' Reluctance for War in God of War: Ragnarok God of War 2005 What fans might be surprised to learn, though, is that references to Egyptian folklore have repeatedly made their way into the franchise, dating back as far as its origins, via sneaky in-game Easter eggs and expanded media. Whether Santa Monica Studio heeds those calls and finally steers the franchise in that direction post God of War: Ragnarok remains to be seen, however.
Considering Egypt's ancient mythology is arguably ranked amongst the most popular and instantly recognizable in the world, alongside the two settings Kratos has already slashed his way through, this isn't shocking.
Since the earliest days of the series, there have been consistent calls for the studio to explore the Egyptian pantheon. Questions regarding where the story goes next will naturally only increase from this point forward, even if Kratos ends up taking a step back from the helm after the dust settles in the upcoming sequel. While it seems fitting that the apocalyptic event will close out the current saga, the sheer size and popularity of the franchise means it's highly unlikely that it will be absent from Sony's plans for any great deal of time. Santa Monica Studio's declaration that it plans to close out the Norse-themed chapter of the God of War franchise has raised more than a few eyebrows amongst fans.
