NerdLeaks has leaked a bunch of concept art images from a Sony Santa Monica artist’s website, presumably by hacking it.
The leak suggest that the next God Of War installment will be set in Norse Mythology abandoning the Greek setting that the game used throughout the series. Kartos will still feature as the protagonist – having a beard and an axe.
Its been also teased by industry insider, Shinobi602, in his tweet.
…to the halls of Valhalla. My boy. #GodOfWar4

After this leak gone viral, NerdLeaks, the artist’s website and imgur album of the concept arts were offline and removed. But you can still see those leaked images on NeoGAF.
Officially, GoW4 has never being announced by Sony, nor Santa Monica Studios have clammed a Norse setting.
