- God of War: Sons of Sparta has just been announced as a brand new entry in the franchise.
- The game strays away from the typical action approach of the series and goes for a 2D approach with platforming.
- Sony has also confirmed that this 2D God of War adventure launches today on PS5.
Rumors regarding a 2D God of War title have been making the rounds for a while. In addition to rumblings regarding the next mainline series entry, insiders previously suggested that a God of War Metroidvania would show up at today’s State of Play.
Lo and behold, Sony has delivered exactly what many were teasing ahead of the event. God of War: Sons of Sparta has officially been announced.
Why it matters: God of War sits at the top as one of PlayStation’s defining first-party IPs, so the gaming giant appears keen on expanding the franchise with different types of titles.
The debut trailer for God of War: Sons of Sparta confirms that the game revisits Kratos’ past and features his adventure along with Deimos, his younger brother.
According to the trailer, the title has been developed by both Mega Cat Studios and Sony Santa Monica, leading to a unique blend of platforming, combat, and mystical powers.
Kratos also sports a shield and spear this time around, facing off against all kinds of mystical creatures. Perhaps the best part about this announcement is the fact that fans don’t have to wait too long to actually play God of War: Sons of Sparta, since the game launches later today on PS5.
Of course, the State of Play also featured another huge God of War announcement in the form of a remake of the original Greek trilogy. Suffice it to say, fans of the series have much to look forward to.
