yet-to-be-announced God of War prequel game will feature several different mythologies, with suggestions that Mayan will feature. However, the publication seems most certain that East-Asian mythologies will be making a showing in the game, and &#8220;elements from Chinese and Japanese mythologies&#8221; will play a &#8220;part of a new entry in the series&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"injection_placeholder\" data-position=\"1\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The publication noted that &#8220;game development is a fickle thing&#8221; (ain&#8217;t that the truth), and so &#8220;things are always subject to change&#8221;.

This corroborates a previous claim by respected industry leaker NateTheHate2, who said<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/next-god-of-war-game-stars-faye-rather-than-kratos\"> the next God of War game will have more of a focus on action than the Norse saga<\/a>.
