๐ฆ Plot Summary
Following his bloody and cataclysmic fall of the Norse and Greek pantheons, Kratos, the god-slayer, ventures into the harsh deserts and mystical temples of ancient Egypt. Hoping to escape his past and find peace for his son Atreus, Kratos discovers a world governed by an entirely new order of gods, one where fate, death, and destiny are written in the stars.
But in Egypt, gods do not merely ruleโthey manipulate, enslave, and twist the will of mortals. When Anubis and Thoth mark Atreus as a threat to their divine balance, Kratos is forced back into battle. What begins as a journey of survival turns into a war for freedom, as the Ghost of Sparta once again becomes a symbol of rebellion in a divine realm riddled with secrets and betrayals.
