‘god of war ragnarok’ hasn’t forgotten

That’s the serious part of the article over with. Now, nonsense. Seriously, though, send Kratos to Egypt! I’m sick of Norse and Greek mythology! Haven’t we seen enough of that? It reminds me of how long it took Assassin’s Creed to finally take itself to Feudal Japan after fans screamed about it for years. Well, this is my hill, PlayStation/Sony.

I want God of War to adopt ancient Egypt as a setting! There are so many cool boss fights you could do there. Don’t worry — I’ll get people to rally behind this. We aren’t through here, Sony.
