God of War Saga Remaster Announcement Could Be Happening Soon

Rumor has it that a remaster of the original God of War saga 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 three God of War games. 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’s God of War 3 Remastered on recent PlayStation hardware without a PS Plus subscription. There are rumors that this might change soon, with insiders claiming that the original God of War trilogy could get a remaster this year in honor of the franchise’s 20th anniversary.

Recent rumors claim that Kratos might finally be going to Egypt in the next God of War, and there are a handful of unique weapons he could find.

This would be great news for fans of Kratos’s original Greek saga, and a newer rumor claims that this God of War remastered collection could be confirmed soon. Reddit user Feeling-Examination6, who also shared the leaked Hell is Us release date, claims that there is indeed a remaster of the old God of War games in the works, and that it could be announced during this week’s PlayStation State of Play livestream. It should be noted that they aren’t sure yet what this date could be, and that this is all still just an unconfirmed rumor as of this writing.

God of War Remaster Could Be Announced This Week

Remasters of the older God of War games aren’t the only thing being rumored about, as various insiders also believe that Santa Monica Studio is working on a completely new entry set in ancient Egypt. Other sources say that this rumored God of War game is instead a prequel set before the events of the original trilogy featuring a younger version of Kratos in Greece once again.

While God of War and God of War Ragnarok are 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. With the God of War franchise turning 20 this year and a new PlayStation State of Play only a day away, the timing could be just right to reveal a remaster of Kratos’s original saga of bloodshed, revenge, and Greek tragedy.
