God of War 4 will allegedly take place within Norse mythology

Nerdleaks today reports that God of War 4 will allegedly be set within Norse mythology.

The site says it has found concept art from Sony Santa Monica, and has derived the following from the works:

  • There is Kratos, with beard;
  • The setting is the Norse Mythology;
  • Kratos will visit Alfheim, “Land Of The Fairies”, one of the Nine Worlds and home of the Light Elves (concepts show the Wall and the Temple Door);
  • Kratos will be in one or more prison;
  • Kratos has an Axe, with wich he can cut vines and create bridges/walkways;
  • The surrounding environment could interact with the character (if Kratos brushes-up against the vines, they expell visible spores).

We’ve included a picture of a bearded, Norse Kratos for you, below.

We’re not entirely sure what to make of all this, but we’re leaning towards this all being fake. What do you think?
