With recent job listings suggesting that a new game could be in the works at Santa Monica Studio, there's some speculation as to what the story could be. Previously, it was confirmed that would conclude the Norse saga of the series, leaving it as a duology, but in December 2023, the studio released a free, roguelike DLC,, which took place after this ending, suggesting that there is room for more stories set within the Norse mythology.
The newer games focus on the relationship between an older Kratos and his son Atreus, with the first game seeing Kratos teaching him to survive and fight as a warrior as they embark on a journey to scatter his mother, Faye's ashes atop the highest peak in the Nine Realms.

This gives Atreus a definitive future quest to follow and potentially allows room for his relationship with Angrboda — who became close to him throughout — to develop further if she were to accompany him on this venture. Given that featured sections in which the player controls Atreus, fans have already speculated that the series' next entry may be a spin-off game with Atreus as the sole protagonist, similar to what the series did where Miles Morales got his own standalone entry to grow and develop as a hero before working together with the original hero, Peter Parker, in the sequel.
