Henderson stated during the most recent Insider Gaming Weekly podcast that he’s hearing, from sources that will remain unnamed, that the new God of War game isn’t based in Egypt, which was the most recent rumors surrounding the unannounced title, and instead, it will be a young Kratos based in Greece. Henderson says the storyline concentrates on Kratos’s relationship with his father, Zeus.
Notably, Henderson says, “Don’t run with it,” in regards to this rumor, meaning it hasn’t been confirmed to him. The InsiderGaming owner said he simply just wanted to weigh in on the previous rumor of the new God of War being set in Egypt with what he’s been hearing. Moreover, Henderson said he doesn’t know if the title will be a remaster, prequel, or a reboot.
As for the State of Play. Rumors indicated Sony’s upcoming event is scheduled to take place sometime next week, and according to Henderson, “all signs point to one [State of Play] next week“. Another host of the podcast, Grant Taylor-Hill, said he’s heard from unnamed sources the event is scheduled for mid-next week, possibly Thursday.
