God Of War fans hyped over Greek saga remaster tease

PlayStation has attracted a fair bit of criticism as of late.

You may have noticed that a number of remakes and remasters have landed, or at least are on the way.

The Last of Us Part II Remastered kicked the year off, while Ballistic Moon’s Until Dawn remake landed just last week.

That’ll be followed by Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered at the end of this month, and there are assuredly other examples I haven’t mentioned.

The concern is that such projects will replace original, new creations.

And while I understand those concerns, those aforementioned remakes and remasters do make a lot of sense.

It all whittles down to ensuring the longevity of a franchise - of onboarding new fans. Especially as so many of the IPs I’ve mentioned have movie/TV adaptations either in existence or in the works.

There is one remaster project though that Sony fans haven’t taken issue with.

One so-called insider recently surfaced to claim that the original God of War games would be relaunched in a remastered collection to celebrate the franchise’s 20th anniversary.

God of War Ragnarök’s Valhalla DLC was Kratos’ last outing.

Lunatic Ignus first surfaced with the tidbit, explaining that the project had been handled by Nixxes, the studio responsible for the upcoming Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered.

The insider went on to add that the announcement would be made in March 2025, coinciding with that aforementioned 20th anniversary, and would include all Greek Saga titles.

That includes God of War, God of War II, God of War III, as well as Chains of Olympus, Ghost of Sparta, and Ascension.

According to Ignus, development is finished.

Now, fellow leaker Shpeshal_Nick has backed up the claims, taking to social media to say, “I had only been told the original Trilogy back when I mentioned this, but if they’re adding Ascension and the PSP games that would be fantastic.”

Needless to say, fans are pretty excited.

“This could be REALLY good. Finally something that actually needs a remaster from PlayStation,” said one fan.

“Now this is something that deserves a remaster/remake over the likes of Until Dawn,” added another.

As always, I urge you to take this with a pinch of salt until anything is confirmed by Sony.
