One gaming fan tweeted a question to Balrog asking him if the legendary vikings Ragnar Lothbrok or Bjorn Ironsides would be making an appearance in the game due to the title being set within a Norse environment. Barlog apologizes to say that he does not see them appearing since the next installment in the series apparently occurs “well before” the beginning of the Viking Age.

Although Vikings are not included in the plot, Balrog assured gaming fans that "God of War" will feature elements from Norse Mythology as Santa Monica Studio have been exploring the lore of Scandinavia prior to the Viking Age, with game director stating that the development team’s mindset for the game's creation is rooted in “a prehistory point," where gods did walk the Earth, when monsters were real, before they became extinct, Gamerant reported.

Sony showing "God of War" at E3 2017 is a safe bet for gamers, but what they would like to know is the release plans for the sequel, if ever they will announce it.

Santa Monica Studios also teased that multiplayer gameplay will return in "God of War" PS4 as the studio posted job listings for a Senior Multiplayer Programmer. Employees for the job must have valued talent, self-motivation, and team spirit. In turn, the studio will provide an environment with a large degree of freedom and autonomy.
