Gods and myths
Explore the mythology behind the Everywhen
Start with Everywhen, Egypt, the gods, or the Kratos and Atreus question.
02
Everywhen
The afterlife of the gods already reads like a mythology crossroads, even before the game explains its deepest rules.
03
Laufey and the Jotnar
Laufey’s plans, soul powers, prophecy, and Jotnar memory form the strongest mythology thread on the page.
01Egypt
Sekhmet and Egypt
Sekhmet is confirmed on screen, but the leap from one hostile god to a full Egyptian saga still belongs to open mythology reading.
02Realm
Everywhen
Why gods from different traditions meet here, what that means for the afterlife of the gods, and how far the reveal really goes.
03Guide
What the game already shows
Start with official facts, then widen into mythology context only where the reveal gives players a real reason to ask for more.
04Family
Kratos and Atreus
The premise keeps them central to Laufey’s mission, while their direct role inside the Everywhen remains intentionally unrevealed.
05Plan
Laufey’s hidden plan
Her soul powers, prophecy, and giant knowledge suggest a deeper design than a simple escape story.
06Series
Greek echoes
Greek-era context and Sons of Sparta matter as legacy framing, not as a confirmed direct bridge into Laufey’s plot.
Mythology answers
Fast answers about the gods and the realm
Start here if you want the short answer on Everywhen, Sekhmet, Begtse, and what mythology God of War Laufey is actually using so far.
What mythology does God of War Laufey use?
Shown in revealThe official reveal starts from Laufey, the Jotnar, and the Norse saga, then opens into the Everywhen, where gods from different mythologies can meet. Sekhmet and Begtse are the clearest officially shown examples so far.
Is God of War Laufey set in Egyptian mythology?
Game detailsNot as a full official answer yet. Sekhmet is a confirmed Egyptian goddess in the reveal, but PlayStation has not said the whole game shifts into an Egypt-only setting or saga.
Who is Sekhmet in God of War Laufey?
Shown in revealSekhmet is a confirmed hostile god Laufey encounters in the Everywhen. Her Egyptian mythology background explains why Egypt matters here, even though the wider setting is still unconfirmed.
Who is Begtse in God of War Laufey?
Shown in revealBegtse is another officially shown hostile god in the Everywhen. He expands the page beyond one pantheon and supports the idea that the realm gathers divine figures from multiple traditions.
Why does the Everywhen matter to mythology?
Shown in revealBecause it is the afterlife of the gods and the place where magic returns. That official setup is what allows different gods, creatures, and myth backgrounds to share one realm without the page needing to invent extra lore.

02
Sekhmet and Egyptian mythology
Player question
Use this when the question is whether Sekhmet points to a wider Egyptian direction.
What the game shows
Sekhmet appears in official Laufey material.

Family stakes
Player question
Use this when the question is what Kratos’ confirmed cast listing means for Laufey’s family stakes.
What the game shows
Official copy names Kratos and Atreus as the people Laufey wants to protect, and PlayStation lists Chris Judge as Kratos in its Comic-Con panel cast.
Open mystery
Kratos’ story role, Atreus’ appearance, and playability remain unconfirmed.
04
Jotnar memory and Laufey’s plan
Player question

Official copy confirms her plans are threatened and shows soul-linked abilities in the Everywhen.
Open mystery
Exact plan details, ending logic, and prophecy mechanics are still unknown.
05
Greek legacy
Player question

Open mystery
No official source links it directly to Laufey plot events or Everywhen structure.
Mythology detail
What each myth background adds
01
Everywhen brings mythologies together
Game detailsWhat the game shows
Official copy says gods and creatures from different mythologies meet in the Everywhen.
Myth background
Sekhmet and Begtse are officially present, and the realm is described as the afterlife of the gods where magic returns.
What remains open
A shared afterlife does not confirm the next full saga or make Laufey a permanent franchise hub.
Open mystery
This explains the realm, not a confirmed future destination.
02
Sekhmet introduces Egyptian mythology
Still unansweredWhat the game shows
Sekhmet appears in official Laufey material as a hostile divine figure.
Myth background
An Egyptian goddess is visibly present in the reveal, which naturally pushes players toward Egyptian mythology background.
What remains open
One confirmed Egyptian god is enough for discussion, not confirmation of a full Egypt game, Egypt chapter, or trilogy setup.
Open mystery
Egypt remains background context unless official material expands beyond Sekhmet herself.
03
Kratos and Atreus still shape the mythology stakes
Game detailsWhat the game shows
The official premise says Laufey protects Kratos and Atreus, and PlayStation lists Chris Judge as Kratos in the Laufey Comic-Con panel cast.
Myth background
They are explicitly named in the premise, which means they matter to the stakes even if the reveal keeps the focus on Laufey.
What remains open
The panel announcement does not reveal Kratos’ story role, whether Atreus appears, or whether either character is playable.
Open mystery
Treat Kratos as confirmed cast context, not a license to invent scenes, roles, or playability.
04
Laufey's hidden plan may run through prophecy, soul powers, and Jotnar memory
Game detailsWhat the game shows
Official material says Laufey's plans are threatened and describes her as the Golden Hand of the Jotnar with soul-linked powers.
Myth background
The reveal ties her plan, the Everywhen, and soul manipulation together, which suggests more than a simple escape premise.
What remains open
What Laufey arranged, what exactly is at risk, and how prophecy mechanics work are still unknown.
Open mystery
The connection is clear, but the exact plan and ending remain unknown.
05
Greek-era echoes matter more as legacy than direct setup
Game detailsWhat the game shows
Sons of Sparta is official canon Kratos youth context released in 2026.
Myth background
It renews Greek-era attention around the same period as Laufey and gives players more Kratos background for comparison.
What remains open
No official source links Sons of Sparta directly to Laufey plot events, Everywhen mechanics, or Laufey story beats.
Open mystery
Keep it as legacy context and release-window conversation, not as a confirmed narrative bridge.
