Sony just confirmed a God of War trilogy remake is in development. In the 2026 State of Play, it says the first three mainline games from Kratos’ Greek saga are being remade.
No footage yet. Sony describes the project as early, so this announcement is more about ending the guessing than showing a finished vision.
The timing lines up with the series’ 20th anniversary in March 2026, which makes this feel like a deliberate look back while the franchise keeps moving forward.
The first three God of War games debuted on PS2, and Sony says the new versions are being built for modern PlayStation hardware. It hasn’t named a target console yet, so it’s unclear whether they’ll land on PS5, a next-gen system like PS6, or span both.
TC Carson returns to Kratos
Sony tapped TC Carson, the Greek-era voice of Kratos, to help reveal the remakes during State of Play. It underlines that the goal here is the classic version of the character, not a blend with the newer Norse tone.
Sony also says it will share more later, but only when it has something worth showing. Read that as fewer check-ins, bigger updates.
Why the Greek saga matters
Sony frames the remake project as a response to one of the loudest fan requests, bringing the original trilogy back into the spotlight. That’s notable for anyone who only knows Kratos through the modern games, because the Greek run is where the series’ scale, combat identity, and attitude were forged.
There are still missing anchors. Sony hasn’t shared platforms, a release window, or what “remake” means here in terms of scope, whether it’s visuals only or deeper design updates too.
What to play in the meantime
Sony is also offering a quicker fix, God of War Sons of Sparta, and it’s out now on PS5. It’s a 2D action platformer with a canon story set during Kratos’ youth alongside Deimos, with a $29.99 Standard Edition and a $39.99 Digital Deluxe option (plus regional pricing).
If you want more Kratos today, that’s the move. If you’re holding out for the rebuilt originals, watch for first footage, platform confirmation, and any hint of timing, because Sony is clearly saving the next update for a bigger moment.
