God Of War Could have Ancient Setting

Today God of War Director Cory Barlog spoke at Devcom in Cologne about the creation of the game, and he shared some interesting info on the early days of the popular PS4 title’s development.

According to Barlog (as reported by GameSource) Norse mythology wasn’t the only candidate for the game, but at some point, three more options were in the running: Egyptian, Inca, and Hindu myths.

After an initial selection, only Egyptian and Norse mythologies were left in the competition, with a 50/50% split (as reported by Twitter user PlayUnexplored). It was Barlog himself who cast the final vote in favor of the Norse setting
