Sony has officially confirmed two major God of War* projects: a full remake of the Greek trilogy and a new prequel spin-off, Sons of Sparta, now available for $29.99. The announcement comes as the franchise continues to expand beyond its acclaimed modern saga.
The God of War Trilogy Remake will reimagine the original three games—God of War (2005), God of War II (2007), and God of War: Chains of Olympus (2008)—with updated visuals and gameplay mechanics. Development is still in early stages, but the project signals Sony’s commitment to preserving the series’ legacy while modernizing its presentation. The remake will feature the return of TC Carson as Kratos, marking his first major role in the franchise since Ragnarök.
For fans eager for immediate content, God of War: Sons of Sparta—a 2.5D Metroidvania-style game—launches today. Set in Kratos’ early years, it blends classic God of War combat with retro-inspired pixel-art aesthetics. Players will wield spear and shield, unlock divine artifacts, and explore a world inspired by untapped Greek mythology. The game is developed by Mega Cat Studios and priced at $29.99.

While Sons of Sparta serves as a standalone experience, it offers a glimpse into Kratos’ origins, contrasting the brutality of the modern series with a more tactical, exploration-driven approach. The game’s $29.99 price point makes it an accessible entry for newcomers, though hardcore fans may await the Trilogy Remake for a deeper dive into the franchise’s roots.
The Trilogy Remake remains a high-profile project, with Sony expected to reveal more details as development progresses. For now, Sons of Sparta* provides a nostalgic yet fresh take on the series, bridging the gap between past and future.
