Throughout the story of God of War, Kratos and Atreus encounter quite a few murals depicting various events that occur in Norse mythology.

God of War could change that with its next installment since the developers at Santa Monica Studio have stated that they want God of War to explore Egyptian or Mayan mythology next. The only recent games that have really come close to an Egyptian mythological setting have been Assassin's Creed: Origins and Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris.
