Datamined God of War Ragnarok Files Revive Talk of an Egyptian Setting

The find comes from a dataminer with a track record, unverified by Santa Monica Studio.

Overview

  • Reddit user TheMorse_ reported uncovering unused dialogue and cutscene text within God of War Ragnarok’s files.
  • The material references Athena and introduces a companion named Mau, a name tied to Egyptian words for cat and the sun deity Ra.
  • Coverage notes the discovery has renewed speculation that the next main entry could explore Egyptian mythology.
  • Outlets emphasize that the content is unofficial and cut from the released game, which could reflect ideas later abandoned.
  • Reporters cite the same dataminer’s accurate 2018 find that foreshadowed Ragnarok, while noting no studio confirmation and separate official projects like a trilogy remake and a spinoff.
