The God of War 4 release date has been confirmed and the plot could feature Kratos fighting Athena who teams up other religious deities to beat him if the fan theories prove true.

Gaming news Cyberland reported that The God of War 4 release date has been tentatively set to September 2015 and it can be expected to see the game to be showcased at E3 2015.

Rumors are circulating that God of War 4 could feature Kratos fighting other religious deities such as the Egyptian gods.

While there has been no confirmation from Sony that God of War 4 would feature Kratos fighting other religious deities, fans have suggested that the story of God of War hints that there could be other gods as speculated by user "Lexph3re" on VG24/7:

"None of the gods in god of war are anything like their folklore counterparts. Even Athenas "Ascension" is a key point towards their being a possibility of different variants of the spiritual plane. That the Patheon were merely physical in their interpretation and that they can ascend. Which means what? Dun duh duh duuuunnnnnn! Deities of other spiritual focus."

User "clupula" even made up a scenario on how God of War 4 could happen:

"Make it a SEQUEL to GOWIII, where Kratos ends up killing the Norse or Egyptian pantheon. I've said for the longest time, it's a no brainer how to start the next trilogy. Have Kratos trying to live a peaceful life in some new region, as he cannot die, and Athena appears to one of the other pantheons and explains that Kratos is a murderer of gods and if they do not kill him, he will surely kill them. The game starts."

"Ending, after Kratos has killed this pantheon, it is revealed that GOWIII Athena was not Athena at all, but Lucifer trying to clear the way for the current Judeo-Christian religions by killing the old gods and using Kratos as a tool."
