Yesterday's State of Play brought the announcement that Kratos fans have been waiting for for years. Sony officially confirmed that the original Greek saga will receive a new adaptation.
This is not "putting makeup on a corpse." We're getting a Remake
The most important information that the Santa Monica studio has emphasized at every turn: this is a Remake, not a Remaster. For gamers, this is a crucial difference. While a remaster is usually just an upscaling of the resolution and old textures, a Remake means building games from the ground up (probably with the same engine that powered Ragnarök). The entire trilogy: the first, second, and third parts of the adventures in Greece – will be created entirely from scratch, with new character models, redesigned locations, while keeping 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 reprise his role as Kratos – the original voice of the hero from the Greek era. This decision has sparked euphoria among veterans of the series who missed this specific interpretation of the wrathful 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 hasn't 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 2D action game with a retro vibe, developed by Mega Cat Studios. It focuses on the early years of Kratos and his brother Deimos. It’s the perfect "appetizer" before the main course, which will be a return to the brutal fight for the throne of Olympus in full 4K.
