PlayStation delivered a dual announcement Thursday, unexpectedly releasing a new “God of War” installment, “Sons of Sparta,” for the PS5 alongside the unveiling of a complete remake of the foundational “God of War” trilogy.
Santa Monica Studio, the creative force behind the “God of War” franchise, detailed the origins of the series in a recent blog post, noting, “Over two decades ago in March 2005, God of War debuted on the PlayStation 2 – initiating Kratos’ remarkable odyssey through ancient Greece and subsequent realms.” The studio continued, stating, “As we near the culmination of God of War’s 20th anniversary celebration in March 2026, we were determined to mark the occasion with a final, significant gift for our devoted fans! We are excited to share that a remake of the original God of War trilogy is now in development – and there was no one more fitting to reveal this news than TC Carson, the iconic voice of Kratos from the Greek era!”
Complementing this news, PlayStation has also made available “God of War: Sons of Sparta,” a 2D action platformer crafted by Mega Cat Studios in collaboration with the narrative team responsible for “God of War” (2018) and “God of War: Ragnarök.” The title presents “a canon story exploring Kratos’ formative years and rigorous training alongside his brother Deimos at the Agoge.”
These revelations were presented by TC Carson, who originally voiced Kratos in the initial “God of War” titles, during PlayStation’s State of Play presentation.
The newly launched “Sons of Sparta” features Carson once again embodying the character of Kratos, this time as the narrator recounting the game’s events.
