It has been some time since we last saw Kratos in action in God of War Ragnarok, and it will likely be longer before we see how his and Atreus' story continues. However, fans of the series now have one more game to look forward to: a remake of the first three entries in the series.
Announced at the end of today's State of Play presentation with a brief teaser trailer, the God of War Trilogy Remake will deliver a modernized version of the Greek Saga in which Kratos is at his most violent.
Unfortunately, details are scarce at the moment, as the game is still in the early stages of development, as confirmed by TC Carson, Kratos' original voice actor, who will reprise the role in the upcoming remake, The next time we will hear of the game, however, we will likely get the first look at it, the voice actor confirmed.
Although the God of War Trilogy Remake is far from release, from today fans of the series will be able to experience one more story set in Kratos' past with God of War Sons of Sparta, the long-rumored 2.5D Metroidvania style game now available on PlayStation 5 for $29.99 USD / €29.99 / £24.99 / ¥3480.
"Sons of Sparta is a tale of duty, honor, and brotherhood featuring TC Carson who reprises his role the first time in over a decade as the adult version of Kratos, our story’s narrator," a new post on the Official PlayStation Blog says. "Kratos will learn deadly skills using his spear and shield, as well as harness powerful divine artifacts known as the Gifts of Olympus to take on a wide array of foes. Sons of Sparta features the return of iconic classics recreated in 2D with stunning hand-drawn pixel animation, as well as a host of new creatures to the franchise inspired by the rich, untapped facets of Greek mythology brought to life by the retro experts at Mega Cat Studios."
God of War Sons of Sparta may not be the game fans of the series expected to play next, but it looks like a solid game that should tide fans of the series over until Sony Santa Monica is ready to show more of the God Of War Trilogy Remake.
