Yesterday's State of Play brought the announcement that Kratos fans have been waiting for years. Sony officially confirmed that the original Greek saga will receive a new makeover.
This isn't just "putting lipstick on a corpse". We're getting a Remake
The most important information that Santa Monica studio has emphasised at every turn: this is a Remake, not a Remaster. For gamers, this is a crucial difference. While a remaster usually just boosts the resolution and old textures, a Remake means building the games from the ground up (likely using the same engine that powered Ragnarök). The entire trilogy: the first, second, and third parts of the adventures in Greece – will be created entirely anew, with new character models, redesigned locations, while retaining the brutal spirit of the original.
The project is currently in the early stages of development, but we already know that TC Carson will once again take on the role of Kratos – the original voice of the hero from the Greek era. This decision has caused euphoria among series veterans who have missed this particular interpretation of the angry Spartan.
Surprise for now: Sons of Sparta
Although we will have to wait for the main remake (the lack of a specific release date suggests rather 2027 or 2028), Sony has not left fans empty-handed. Alongside the announcement of the trilogy, an unexpected spin-off has hit the PlayStation Store – God of War: Sons of Sparta. This is a two-dimensional action game with a retro vibe, developed by Mega Cat Studios. It focuses on the younger years of Kratos and his brother Deimos. It's the perfect “appetiser” before the main course, which will be the return to the brutal fight for the Olympic throne in full 4K.
