Cory Barlog confirms that Christianity exists in the God of War universe
- Thread starter Cosmic Voyager
- Start date
The Divine Comedy is actually heavily inspired by Islamic theology if you can believe that.
Well I guess Abrahamic religious inspiration is a better "catch all"
The old testament definitely is. Hell, the whole of Revelations is pretty much any post-apocalyptic world in most fiction.
Edit: I was mistaken but it did involve three wise men and the birth of Christianity in some form

Maybe, but there are very specific imagery and concepts in the Divine Comedy that is only found in Islam.
Bringing gold, frankincense, and murderWasn't Kratos supposed to be one of the three wise men?

Interview w/ David Jaffe, Creator of God of War & Drawn To Death
David Jaffe was kind enough to let me pick at his brain in this exclusive pre-pax interview. He even spills the beans on what was SUPPOSED to go down in God ...www.youtube.com
So wiping out theologies in favor of Christianity? 🤔Wasn't Kratos supposed to be one of the three wise men?

Dante's Inferno was essentially pro christianity and you fought the evil side. God of War would not be that. I don't know what Kratos would do but I bet it would be an atheistic angle, could easily get cringey unless they're clever about it and many countries are religious so I'm not sure a full on atheistic or satanistic AAA game would fly all that well.
I'm pretty sure they would never dare to open that particular Pandoras box, apart from that the christian mythology has far less material to build an action game on than the ones used already.
ancient - belonging to the very distant past and no longer in existence
Yeah, and even if you hate religion it would feel kinda awkward to fight the J man himself, can't even see Kratos hating on him, he would probably just hate on how the church has twisted everything and used it's power in the wrong way.
Then again it would be a cool twist if a pacifist Kratos himself becomes Jesus and he get's in rage mode again after being reborn. But again, that will never happen for obvious reasons.
maybe they can do some old testament monsters like the whale or some crwature from hell? guess it has been done already with el shaddai and dantes inferno
no modern is a drug fueled party on a boat and Tom Cruise
or Flying Spaghetti Monsters
word has multiple definitions, argument supports using same word with different definitions of it
Would it though? Be cool I mean. I think they need to put Kratos up against satan or maybe the four horsemen to pull it off without being super cringey, but Dante's Inferno and Darksiders has already been there doing that so it wouldn't add anything. Kratos vs Jesus makes zero sense lol. Then again we're probably going to fight Freya this time and that will take some creative thinking to pull off as well.
If that hole in the bottom is for the built in mic then that is an absolutely terrible trade off for the headphone jack.
Kratos may not be strong enough to just go messing around with the top tiers of Judeo-christian figures. If Lucifer couldn't take down Michael, then Kratos has no chance, but that's why he recruits Hanuman to join him first in God Of War 7. Also for some reason Arteus is now Rama.
As a Catholic I would love it honestly lol.
I don't see Kratos fighting Jesus though.
I can see however,
For Archangels
Biblical Monsters(Whale, St. George's Dragon, the monster described in Revelation, etc.)
Obviously Demons and Lucifer
And maybe YHWH?

There are plenty of characters that could provide very cool fights.
The archangels, the 4 horsemen, Satan, the princes of hell, Leviathan, "The Beast", the Anti-Christ, Lilith, etc.

Now, that would cause a true backlash that's just not worth it.
Jesus, nailed to the cross: "Freeee.... meeeeee...."
*removes spikes from his hands, Jesus starts glowing and flying, rejuvinating himself with the souls of those standing around*
Jesus: MUAHAHAHAHAHAAAA THIS IS MYYY DOMAIN, NOW WITH OLYMPUS DESTROYED! ME AND MY FATHER SHALL RULE THIS WORLD!
*cue bossfight where you bludgen superpowered Jesus with the cross, and Longinus tosses you his spear to end the fight*

the walls of the vatican about to get painted in jesus for God of War 5.
(this would actually be hilarious to see considering Kratos lmao)

You can look at Christian colonization in Africa to all the Christian Mega Churches and modern Christianity today. It would be easy to create an evil caricature of Christ. Now would Sony be prepared for that backlash? Hell to the naw.
You say that now but Jesus has a mean left hook and is a suplex machine.
Does this mean that God / Jesus exist as...gods / deities / what-have-you, or that Christianity as a religion in the world exists?
i.e. there are Christians, but their God ain't there.

Jesus would be the Athena of the game,(she even resurrects herself) except without the heel turn.
there's christanity but zeus faked his death and this time pretending to be the only god around. and he would have gotten it away with it too if it wasn't for you pesky Kratos's and Atreu's
