TheGod of Warfranchise may have moved beyond its Greek origins buta new rumor claims Kratos' original adventures may soon receive a fresh coat of paint. While modern audiences are likely more familiar with Kratos as the bearded warrior of Norse legend thanks to 2018’sGod of Warand its 2022 sequelGod of War: Ragnarok, the wrathful deity started life in a different world. Its combat may not be as refined as the recent duology but the so-called Greek Trilogy still has plenty of fans.
Over on Reddit, userFeeling-Examination6noted that they’ve heard whispers ofa remastered collection ofGod of Wargames that will arrive “sooner than expected.”
Many have taken this to mean thatSony is looking to bring the olderGod of Wargames to modern hardwarewith upgraded visuals and control schemes. It’s worth noting that Feeling-Examination6 has recently correctly predicted two major announcements in the form of theNinja Gaiden4reveal and the release date of the upcoming action-adventure gameHell is Us.
Could God Of War’s Greek Trilogy Return?
It Certainly Seems Possible
As is the case with all rumors,fans should take thisGod of Warreport with a grain of saltuntil PlayStation officially announces it. Further rumors claim that Sony is planning to host a State of Play event in the near future, possibly assoon as February 14. Whether or not the showcase does take form remains to be seen but given PlayStation’s fairly quiet release schedule, it’s easy to see the company falling back on older titles to pad out its 2025 slate.
The original PlayStation 2God of Wargames have already received the remaster treatment as the first title from 2005 and its 2007 sequel were both brought over to the PlayStation 3 in a bundle package that sported enhanced visuals. Similarly,God of War 3was also remasteredfor PlayStation 4.Fans are likely hoping the rumored remastered collection also includes the beloved PSP gamesChains of OlympusandGhost of Sparta, and the often-forgottenAscensionwhich is still only officially available on the PS3.
The Next God Of War Game Switching Settings To Egypt Could Make It The Darkest Entry Yet
The next God of War game is rumored to be changing its setting to Egypt, which is not only a great idea, but could make the series so much darker.
Kratos' Origins Deserve More Love
The Greek Trilogy Is Great Fun, Even If It Hasn’t Aged Too Well
As much as I enjoy Sony Santa Monica’scurrent vision of Kratos, I still have a fondness for the original PlayStation 2 games. Reveling in their violence and sense of pathos,the first two games have a sense of scale that perfectly emulates the Greek mythsthey’re aiming to capture, even if themechanics are a little repetitive. I would love to see these classics reach modern audiences so more people can appreciate the devastatingbattle of Kratos and Zeus.
