Rumor has it that a remaster of the originalGod of Warsaga could be announced as soon as the upcoming PlayStation State of Play. Before Kratos and his son Atreus made their way through the Nine Realms, the Ghost of Sparta carved a bloody path of vengeance against the deities of ancient Greece in the first threeGod of Wargames. The first two installments of this epic saga helped set the standard for modern action games on the PlayStation 2, while the third served as a well-received finale (for the time) on the PS3.
Due to the lack of backward compatibility for older titles on the PS4 and PS5 and Sony never rereleasing the first two games after the PS3 era, fans have only been able to play 2015’sGod of War 3 Remasteredon recent PlayStation hardware without a PS Plus subscription. There are rumors that this might change soon, with insiders claiming that theoriginalGod of Wartrilogycould get a remaster this year in honor of the franchise’s 20th anniversary.

Other sources say that thisrumoredGod of Wargame is instead a prequelset before the events of the original trilogy featuring a younger version of Kratos in Greece once again.
WhileGod of WarandGod of War Ragnarokare successful and well-received titles in their own right, there are plenty of fans who prefer the older games, the majority of which haven’t been easily accessible on the two most recent PlayStation systems.
