in explaining the transition from greek mythology to norse mythology, barlog said: "it's kind of this bc–ad change over kind of thing. we're moving and starting from zero and kind of moving forward on that." before settling on norse mythology, egyptian mythology was also considered. barlog said that half of the team was for it, but since "there's a lot more about civilization – it's less isolated, less barren", he had to make the decision and decided on the norse setting because they wanted the focus to stay on kratos: "having too much around distracts from that central theme of a stranger in a strange land." to explain why kratos was now in the norse world, barlog said that different cultures' belief systems coexisted, but they were "separated by geography", suggesting that kratos traveled from greece to norway (scandinavia) after the conclusion of "god of war iii". clarifying the conclusion of that game, barlog said kratos did not destroy what was believed to be the entire world, but only the portion ruled over by the greeks. barlog said the new game predates the vikings; it is the time when their gods walked the earth. it was also confirmed that this would not be kratos' last game. barlog said future games could see the series tackling egyptian or mayan mythology, and although this game focuses on norse mythology, it alludes to the fact there are other mythologies co-existing in the world. barlog also said he liked the idea of having different directors for each game as had happened with the first seven. although he might not direct another "god of war", he would still be at santa monica to work on future games.
