God of War Ragnarok Files Include Hidden Dialogue Hinting at an Atreus Sequel
Is Cory Barlog preparing the sequel to God of War: Ragnarok? For now, the only thing known is that Sony Santa Monica’s mysterious new project is expected to release in 2027.
The series recently appeared again during a State of Play event, where the remaster of the original trilogy was announced, along with the surprise release of Sons of Sparta, a metroidvania-style prequel. However, there was no sign of a direct follow-up to Ragnarok.
God of War Ragnarok Files Suggest Sequel Focused on Atreus
At least until now. A dataminer explored the game’s files and found a hidden sequence that suggests a continuation with Atreus as the main character.
On the God of War: Ragnarok subreddit, the dataminer shared his findings and claims they point to a sequel. His credibility comes from a previous discovery: he also examined the files of God of War (2018), where he found the prologue of Ragnarok, including the scene of Atreus killing the bear and discovering that Tyr is still alive.
This time, he found a hidden sequence where Athena talks about Odin and Atreus. It begins with the phrase: “To lefkó fídi tha se fáei,” which means “The white snake will eat you.” The Robed Figure then adds: “One failed us. One rejected us.”
But that is not the only scene. Another hidden sequence shows Atreus traveling to other pantheons. He is accompanied by someone named Mau, who only says the word “Mau,” similar to how Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy only says “I’m Groot.” Thanks to his gift for languages, Atreus is able to understand everything he says.
There is also a detail that supports the rumor of an Egyptian setting. Mau means “cat” in Egyptian, and the cat is one of the manifestations of the Sun God Ra. They have this exchange:
Atreus: “Wake up. I think we’re close.”
Mau: “Mau?”
Atreus: “Hey, you insisted on coming along. C’mon, let’s have a look.”
Mau: “Mau.”
Atreus: “I hope you’re right. Sounds like we found it.”
Even if these scenes are real, they might just be unused content from Ragnarok or material that will never be used in a future game. For now, they are only hints and not official confirmation.
In other news, Kratos voice actor Christopher Judge says God of War remakes will feature a “new fighting system” rather than simple visual upgrades.
