In March 2005, the gaming world was introduced to God of War on the PlayStation 2, launching the epic journey of Kratos through the realms of ancient Greece and beyond. As we prepare to celebrate the 20th anniversary of this iconic franchise in March 2026, developers have a special surprise for fans.
Announcing a remake of the original trilogy, the development team is thrilled to partner with the legendary TC Carson, who originally voiced Kratos, to bring this project to life. While the remake is still in the early stages of development, fans are encouraged to remain patient as more updates are promised in the future.
In addition to the trilogy remake, there is exciting news from Mega Cat Studios about a new game titled God of War Sons of Sparta. This 2D action platformer dives into Kratos’ past, focusing on his early training at the Agoge alongside his brother Deimos, adding depth to the beloved character’s backstory. Written by the talented team behind God of War (2018) and God of War Ragnarök, Sons of Sparta promises an engaging narrative centered around themes of duty, honor, and brotherhood, with TC Carson reprising his role as the adult Kratos, who also serves as the narrator.
The game introduces Kratos in a fresh gameplay style, showcasing kinetic combat infused with new mechanics involving a spear and shield. Players can also utilize divine artifacts known as the Gifts of Olympus to face various foes. The stunning hand-drawn pixel animation revitalizes beloved elements from the franchise, while also presenting newly inspired creatures drawn from the depths of Greek mythology crafted by Mega Cat Studios.
Excitingly, God of War Sons of Sparta is available now for the PlayStation 5, offering both Standard and Digital Deluxe editions for eager gamers. The Standard Edition is priced at $29.99 USD, while the Digital Deluxe Edition can be acquired for $39.99 USD.
As we close in on the anniversary milestone, the team expresses heartfelt gratitude to fans for their unwavering support over the years. Their commitment to evolving God of War has allowed for exciting endeavors like Sons of Sparta to materialize, and they are eagerly anticipating sharing more about the original trilogy remake in the near future. The enduring passion for the series from the community continues to inspire exciting new developments and deepen the legacy of Kratos.
