Maybe Kratos will go on a pan-Mediterranean theological killing spree. After he finishes off the Greek gods he'll move east and take on Osiris and Baal.

Or we could get really crazy and have him take on Raiden or Amaterasu.

Or Quetzacoutl.

Anyway, if this is the end of the trilogy, I wonder what the next step will be. God of War Viking? Replace Kratos with a burly, bearded Norseman and have him hunt down Tyr?
Well yes, but there's no month called Aresch.
There was a botanist who went by Aresch. A botanist isn't very God of War-like though.

Oh yeah... well Mars is a planet!...

[sub] yeah[/sub]

I'd only want KTR if it was as good as CTR. If it was, I'd be flabbergasted but probably out of pocket after buying 50 copies!

I agree with others on the whole moving onto different mythologies, I would definitely love to see that.

Kratos Team Racing?
Yay? I think if that happened the gods couldn't take me from this earth fast enough.

And poets aren't crazy crusaders (well... some might be) but look at Dante! Someone would find a way to make it work... God of Botany... I like it!

I'm fine with them continuing the license if it gives them money and time to create a new franchise. And maybe a great game or two. It can only be good, people.

I remember after playing GOW 1 they mentioned a storyline involving Kratos' brother whom he was separated from as a small child. I wonder if they still plan on going ahead with that storyline after the trilogy.

I'm glad they're wanting to be careful with it, though I wouldn't mind a mythology change. Egyptian, Norse, Slavic, Chinese, Japanese, even Indian (Brahma Creates, Vishnu Preserves, Shiva Destroys, anyone?). No one says that God of War has to focus around Kratos, after all. There's plenty of pantheons to slaughter yet, each with their own God of War
What would be funny if if they did the next trilogy focusing on the Roman pantheon.
Uh...not...really? And what, call him Kraytus? Cheap remakes are not funny, no. They need to stay with quality, not with shite.

My two theories.

1. Kratos defeats Chaos itself and becomes a supreme higher being. He then notices that aside from the Olympians there are several more pantheons. This angers him and he separates his spirit into several pieces which infect and influence specific children from various lands.

A baby girl from Eqypt, a young boy in Scandanavia. And thus the cycle continues

2. The year is 2010. A US Army squad discovers the dead massive husk of Kronos with the temple still intact. They investigate. One moron activates Pandora's Box and all hell breaks loose.
Now, he must use a fusion of technology and magic to travel the world and defeat various ancient monsters in...

Call Of Duty: Godly Warfare

I love this series.

*sigh* I have to change my underwear now. Yes, I'm pissing myself with anticipation for God of War 3, right now, as I write this down.

Ooh, don't get your panties in a bunch, it makes it less fun and harder to get them off. And remember, while sarcasm and ridicule are fine, blatant insipidity is much less fun, much like bunched panties.

Fucking awesome.

Can't wait to see how much farther they can take the series, though personally, I think it could just end here.

I think people might be reading too much into this..

I'll note that it was said that the TRILOGY is over, but they will continue to make "God of War" games.

Well there are alot of "Gods" out there in mythology and alot of wars to run them through.
We could very well see something akin to Prince of persia... a new trilogy featuring a new "God" fighting a "new War".

There's Norse mythology that could be toyed with, although i think Viking kinda beat them to it. There's Druidic Gods and Celtic Gods, and the like..
There's a whole pantheon of interesting and brutal African Gods that I think could use the exposure and provide tons of new storytelling, since most people know very little about African mythos.

Then there's the Native AMerican myths and Gods, the Mayan/Aztec Gods, and even the Asian mythologies of China and Japan, both of which are extremely rich and offer the potential of new play styles and game mechanics.

Of course there is also Christianity... but with Darksiders sliding in to take on the apocalypse, and that uber fine line that would have to be walked when dealing with Biblical stories for fear of causing undo controversy, I'm not sure thats something they'd be willing to tackle.

Although the idea of playing as a long-haired Samson crushing demon skulls and slaying a thousand enemies into a bloody mess with the jawbone of an ass does sound summat interesting...

Of course not, they're going to franchise the shit out of it, no matter what he says.
Then the Xbots will have license to start bitching about the PS3's "cash cow."

Didn't turn out so well.

Personally, I would love to see more sequels to Chains of Olympus. I would love to see Kratos having to take on other Greek and Roman myths before moving on to whatever else the authors do.

There are so many cool things that could be done with other Myths. Here are a few off the top of my head:

After defeating Heracles, he takes the fur of the Nemean Lion, which functions like the Golden Fleece from God of War II and III

He kills a cursed King Midas and uses something of his, maybe a finger to make a golden version of the Medusa head.

The Pan Pipes gained from Pan, that do something cool. Either cause wind damage or it will get the opponent to fight his friends as long as there is magic in the gauge.

Artemis helps him by lending him her silver arrows.

Hermes could get involved by lending him the use of his speed powers. They do not allow him to move faster, but give him a short running dash so he can used it to get through certain walls and whatnot.

Haephestus lends him his hammer to help with some obstacles.

he gets Achillies' Spear.

An interesting story might be as follows:

Typheos, the hundred headed dragon, living under Sicily, is awaken by Ceres, who wants revenge against the Gods for allowing Kratos to kill her daughter. Her plan is to bring Mount olympus to the ground by having typheos destroy the earthly foundation of it. Along the way there, he witnesses all the stars fall from the sky and discovers the reason for it: Astrea, the goddess of the stars along with her temple fell from the sky. I am guessing that Morpheus gets involved again. He discovers that Haephestus allowed the binding around the Typheos to loosen and cause the mountain to crack as well. He is tired of his existence as well.

Along the way, he has to kill some of the other Greek gods, goddesses, and heroes, such as Midas, Pan, Hercules and so on. Each one of these people lost favor with the other Gods and want to use Typheus as leverage to gain it back. He either kills or incapacitates them and moves on.

Well, that would be what I would do.
