Remnants remain in the game, with hints in Tyr's tower on the Lake of Nine that the gods of war from Greek and Norse territories had both explored the realm - leaving it horrified at Kratos' god-killing ways. Early in God of War (2018) development, Cory Barlog had to transition the series to Norse myth because the team weren't feeling it, but the concept art still exists to prove it (as above). That would make for an easy foundation to transition the series to.

The narrative could interweave some of these together in fun ways, and there is plenty of mythological freedom to work with here as it has generally been passed down through oral tradition. In meeting different spirits and natural entities, you have plenty to work with in lovely little cultural pockets that produce vastly different flowers from the same stem.

Then you have the Ojibwe tribe with Asibikaashi - a defensive Spider entity that safeguards the people in her web. The Cherokee have Unetlanvhi as their creator spirit but also have the Aniyvdaqualosgi storm spirits that need quelling. We have the Apache's Ussen, a creator of life spirit that has eternally existed as well as the pair of killers Monster Slayer and Born For Water. From this general foundation, we see springs of unique sets of gods amongst the tribes. Amongst these diverse peoples, we see a tendency to share a belief in Animism - souls and spirits within everything in the natural world.
