Is God of War 5 the End?

God of War 5, also known as God of War: Ragnarok, is not the end of the God of War series, but rather the conclusion of the Norse Saga, with the developers likely to take the franchise in a new direction with the next game. The current expectation is that the next God of War game will introduce a new phase, possibly with Atreus as the main character, and may explore other mythologies, such as Celtic or Egyptian, after the events of Ragnarok.
