God of War Ragnarok Valhalla Ending Explained & Big Future Teases (God Of War Valhalla Ending)

[@gonzalovidal7766]

As Valhalla teases many mythologies, it may be possible that a group of gods, from several pantheons, will get together to attack Kratos, considering him to be a menace to all gods, due to him overthrowing two pantheons, and being stronger than ever.

[@novibes5619]

This

[@ulfberht4431]

That’s a theory I’ve had been thinking about for a year now! Imagine the chief gods of their pantheons in one room together: Amun-Ra, Amaterasu, Kukulkan and the Dagda all conspiring to overthrow “the destroyer of fate” and the “champion of the Jotnar”. And interestingly, what if Atreus/ Loki is given various derogatory terms from these gods that are actual names of other gods in myth. Like Amun-Ra would refer to Atreus as Set, Amaterasu would call Atreus the Susanoo no Mikoto, Kukulkan would call him Maxímon and Dagda would referring to Atreus as Lugh. All associated with trickery and deception.

[@gonzalovidal7766]

@@ulfberht4431 beautiful idea, I hope they make it a reality

[@FatalShotGG]

Or Kratos could simply show up in another land to get hunted down by their respective Gods because they're scared of what Kratos could potentially do to them based on the stories they've heard about Greece and the 9 realms

[@MrBergste]

That actually sounds incredible. The idea of multiple pantheons teaming up, even if they are enemies, is some Avengers level stuff.

[@GamerGuyOG]

The Norse mythology was very obviously meant to be a trilogy. Why they decided to cram the last two games into one is absolutely insane to me. Ragnarok was meant to be a GIGANTIC event but was portrayed as a 1 hour battle against enemies and 2 bosses. Ragnarok itself should have been its own game entirely, exactly how they did with GOW3 in taking down Mt. Olympus.

Egypt is very possible. When they were deciding which mythology to go with for God of War 2018, it came down to Egyptian and Norse, and it was a 50/50 split among the development team and it was Cory Barlog who ultimately decided to go with Norse because it fit the story better. Also, Kratos briefly went to Egypt in the Fallen God comic (assuming that is in fact canon), which takes place in the time span between God of War III and the 2018-19 comic series (which that one takes place shortly before the 2018 game). And then of course all the hints like the ones mentioned in your video.

[@marcelousneal4641]

I personally Doubt that’s where he’s going. He already has went to Egypt.. If you remember the “scribe” he met in Egypt said his purpose there was finished when he defeated those two monsters for that village. Athena & the Crane God of Egypt convinced him to help. He’s the God of war for the Norse realm now after Valhalla with a lot of work to do cleaning up the realms along side his soon to be queen. He’s not on a quest to kill all the Gods. They made that clear in the new DLC he’s a changed person. “The God Of Hope”

[@thehogmanz9163]

Id say that the safe bet to keep his development intact while also being able to keep him as the god of war weve come to love, is to put him on the defense. Whether he's helping the norse realms or greece rebuild, have other pantheons come after him due to all that hes done and hes forced to defend his old home along with the new one. He's not seeking out new gods to kill, they're seeking him and he defends himself and his people

[@mjkazi2273]

I hope for the next game kratos will have to deal with the consequences of killing the greek pantheon. What i mean by this is I doubt other pantheon of gods would sit by knowing that a god killer is still running around. Knowing that there is someone capable and willing to kill gods would prove a threat to their authority and power, could even have mortals stop worshiping them as a result like in the clash of the Titans movies.

[@mohabalserafe3795]

​@prettymurch426 it wasn't rushed to begin with it was never meant to be trilogy they only wanted to make two games because they didn't want to spend another 5 years making another game in the same setting but they sure did cut out some scenes because they didn't want the game to be as long as AC FREAKING VALHALLA which was WAAAAAAY too long and unnecessary

[@robogamin9613]

It has to be Celtic. Mimir's Valhalla, Mimir himself, hell the symbols on Tyr's shield are Celtic and not Norse. Perhaps the Fae courts think the new pantheon of Yggdrasil is weak so they try to invade or trap Kratos in the Tuatha and since time moves differently in the Tuatha, Atreus can age up to a young man and Kratos has to also wrestle with the fact he wasn't there to even see his granddaughter, Hela as a baby.

[@randomguy3080]

The thing about these new mythologies is the fact that each of them have stories yes, but like how often can he go to a new mythology and want to “avoid” war until he’s dragged in, plus with how long the games take, if we are going to Aztec, Japanese, and Egyptian, and the Norse saga apparently took 10 years since the first game was back in 2018, and took 5 years and ragnarok came out in 2022, meaning two games took 10 years, so with Egyptian, Aztec, and Japanese myths would take like 30+ years to finish

[@adityaverma5297]

I could be wrong, but I think the idea to develop the Norse games came much later after the Greek ones ended, so they mustve started working on it later making me think it wouldnt really have taken 10 years, but you do have a point setting up a whole new area could take a lot of time

if the next pantheon is in asia. Then they better explore the concept of martial arts. Since he is the god of war or hope (now), He should at least explore the concept of the beauty of martial forms. Martial arts in essence is not simply a way to decimate others but master one's self as well. With martial arts you truly understand who you are and what you are capable of and that to be implemented in the next game must happen. In real life Martial arts humbles people, even though his experiences already did the same, he could use martial arts as a way to appreciate being the god of war instead of being reminded of his sins.

It’d be cool to see Kratos vs the Hachiman in Japanese mythology, they got a lot of cool gods and creatures that can build up another great GoW game.

They can give Kratos the more well know weapons of each culture, but i think they should consider some lesser know weapons. For the Japanese mythos i dont think they would give Kratos the well know Katana. I think either a Zanbato (horse slaying sword) or maybe the Nagamaki (long hilted sword). If not a blade maybe Testubo (iron warclub). Egypt maybe the Battle axe (the curved blade on TOP of the pole), but the Kopesh is so iconic it will fall to that. Celtic were know for their bronze sword and shield so that is also highly likely. With Aztec i can also only think of the Macuahitl or the Ball Club. There are other Pantheons we can consider but will not appear in the setting because they are either too similar (example: Roman pantheon) or not well know (example: Gaellic)

If atreus becomes the protagonist then it wouldn't be god of war anymore. Kratos is God of war. Atreus would need his own series if that's the route they were going to go.

[@barbs896]

Make prequel about Kratos's journey from egypt to norse.

[@faze_thanos6098]

I don't think sony would do this because god of war and kratos are way too popular but I hope that ragnarok/valhalla is the last kratos focused game, it feels like they ended his character so well and it doesn't make sense to continue focusing on him

[@RohitSingh-ql2nf]

This IP can provide them two titles running side by side, loki and God Of War. Combine them together and they can have Endgame like showdown down the line.

[@alejandrovallencci]

I will be incredibly disappointed if Egypt is not in the works, only because it seems like there isn’t much Egyptian mythology in media right now. We’ve had tons of Greek, Norse and Asian games and films, but only a handful things based on Egyptian myths despite it being a huge part of pop culture. Last thing I can remember was Assassins Creed Origins, and even that wasn’t really mythology based

[@JacobSalvatore-uv4hi]

That and Egypt is close to Greece(geographically and historically), even the mythological Egyptian goddess isis inspired the goddess Athena, Hermes and Thoth etc.

I once had a dream that I saw Kratos scaling a 200 foot wall and he was fighting 14 foot tall creatures with the legs of a man but the legs and foot or talon of an eagle and the chest was a man but the face was eagle… there were gigantic waterfalls in a hot dusty landscape filled with sand… what a beautiful dream that is… and perhaps maybe soon it will be a reality 🙌🏾

[@zach123413]

It would be ballsy as hell for them to do it, but I hope that the next story is that Atreus sends a messenger to Kratos asking for help fighting a god called the 'pantheon killer' or something, and then you find out it's fucking Yahweh, and the whole game represents pagan resistance to the spread of Christianity through Europe

[@SpynalToad]

I'm kinda rooting for an Asian based set of sequels. My man Kratos NEEDS to have an encounter with a Japanese and/or Chinese war god. and i would drop everything for a fight between Kratos and Guan Yu

[@magistermagus1211]

my theory is that the next god of war will still take place in Europe and i think this because of one character: Skjoldr. a mortal, hinted by the game to be a future king. There is also an old king called Skjolrd who rules during the first centuries of the Christian age (Anno Domini, or A.D.), so the romans are still in italy with their empire. maybe the next game visits not only rome, but also parts of the Celtic territories or the occupied Egipt.

[@samsikora4844]

I dont understand why they wont make a game about Kratos in Eygypt shortly after he left Greece D: doesnt make any sense to make him travel now after Ragnarok, to another realm

[@davidwhatsthatabout7404]

If GoW goes to asia, i hope its not Far east asia mostly because we've seen alot of games of japanese and chinese mythology. With that being said i hope we get India mythology (Ramayana) or Thai mythology (Ramakien)

[@David-nq8cv]

Kratos vs Wukong imagine that

[@12Chris6]

WuKong: Want to go destroy heaven/jade palace? Kratos: *Grunt* (Now you're speaking my language)

[@outerheaven4384]

Hinduism is still a religion in India, and because of that it’s very unlikely to be a setting in GOW.

[@flabbergaster1011]

@@outerheaven4384yes the game will be banned here instantly A billion people still follow it

[@causticabuser2466]

I have a Theory that just makes sense. Kratos is the God of War/Hope in the next games I believe itll be a war between pantheons I believe Egypt, ‘Loki’ Will bring the giants back to help turn the tide of war then Loki takes over Kratos position making Atreus story come full circle then Kratos returns to Greece to complete his story.

[@aurumone_exe]

Aztec could be very interesting… blood, fire, time, etc

[@hweaver888]

frankly i think another God of war game is unneeded the way the story ends here is really nice with Kratos getting over a LOT of his past. a new game should either follow Atreus or be a prequel to 2018.

[@mylessmith8059]

I think it’ll be a mix of mythologies instead of just one. And I hope Athena is the main antagonist

[@NoMadKid]

Absolutely!! Athena is the actual villain in all of this. Give us a full circle.

[@confirmed-air-fryer]

With the mixture of cultures like Aztec and Asian mythologies could make some really great chapters

[@feller6766]

A God Of War trilogy based in Egypt and in Asia? Sounds like a win

[@TheDeDuos]

Sigruns adventure might have some sort of driving conflict that sparks the next games story

[@TheDeadlySaint6396]

I was replaying ragnarok and Mimir mentioned how in order to get the armies of Helheim to fight the bird of Helheim asked for a replacement cause it wants to retire if we get an Atreus spin off game maybe one of his adventures lead him to the birth of Hel

[@ninja14]

Instead of picking one, it would be awesome to jump between pantheons like jumping between the 9 realms.

[@milano7250]

I think, while being a bold move, they should make an entirely new IP. After what most likely would be a game centered around Atreus what more could they do? Possibly another sequel following Atreus but after all that comes to a resting point, I feel that making a sort of spinoff mainline title would be a really cool idea. Introduce a new character with a whole new story that's set in another mythology where the first game has very very minimal nods to God of War and really hammers down in the game that follows would be kinda insane. Something like this would probably take decades to come to fruition but I think it would make sense if they wanted to make something new in the foundations of God of War. Also Christopher Judge coming back as Kratos in a surprise appearance would also be really sick.

[@freakundude]

as long as they dont go into something samurai, they need to explore something thats never been explored before

[@CaseNumber00]

Japan would be a unique setting, Where there are similar gods, Kami, like Amaterasu and Izama and Izanagi, there are yokai- roughly speaking gods of the land - something like elemental spirits or supernatural entities which are Shinto based. Oni -kinda like ogres, demons, evil spirits, and monsters etc. Throw in some Samurai, warring states unification of Japan, Emperor, religions. Should come as no suprise since theres a lot of anime related to what I am saying.

[@cronft]

personally i believe next one will be greek again, but not playing with kratos, but with atreus, just think about it, what better place to hide for the giants than a realm what lost all its gods?

[@AlertedSponge]

jesus vs kratos is going to be crazy

[@grimmy2313]

So I just found out the Valhalla DLC is part of a DLC EXPANSION!!! Santa Monica senior writer, Orion Walker, teased that there's even more God of War to come following the release of the free Valhalla, tweeting "You really think the credits are the end of the story? C'mon. C'mon now." So the free update is the beginning of a final DLC story of the Norse Saga that will connect with Kratos's next journey to the River Empire of the Egyptian Pantheons. What I speculate is that we will get Thrud as a companion, Forseti being the last Aesir villain after surviving Ragnarok, a new big location to explore, and a 4th weapon with one or two armor sets to unlock. And there might also be some new rewards updated into Valhalla, maybe even a skin of becoming Deimos like in GoW3 since we can now turn Kratos into the OG God of War! And possibly unlocking the Darkdale and Risen Armor set too!

[@bukojoetheslapsoils8273]

If it's Asian myth, I'd love it to be with Atreus being the Wukong of the myth just as Kratos was Farbauti in the Norse arc. Kratos could be the Bishamon. XD

[@davidboyce2073]

After playing Ragnarök, I hope to never play as Atreus ever again.

[@anwarnasution2799]

Next one shouldd be an all out war of Phanteon, they consider Kratos as threat of the phanteons because of his acts on Greek and Norse Phanteon, instead waiting Kratos to come to them, instead they came to Kratos, i hope we fight aztec god, Egypt god like Ra and Anubis, Japan god like Amaterasu, and a wild card from the Phanteon unknown the only deity that able to make Kratos clingin for his live Wu Kong from Journey to the west, it'll FIRE🔥🔥🔥🔥, pin this
