New God of War Greek Spin-off Set To Release This Year, Says Insider

Expert Verified By

New Side Story In Greece That Isn't A Remaster or Remake!

Story Highlight
  • God of War is reportedly set to receive a Greek spin-off this year.
  • An insider implies that the previously rumored remasters of the original trilogy are not in development.
  • PlayStation’s Greek spin-off could fill the gap between the third and fourth mainline entries of the IP.

The God of War franchise just turned 20 recently, but PlayStation did not do much to celebrate this mighty occasion. While rumors regarding a remastered trilogy began swirling a few months ago, the gaming giant has stayed relatively quiet.

An update regarding these rumors also suggests that no such remasters were ever in development. Instead, PlayStation appears to be working on a completely new God of War side project.

Why it matters: Following recent reports, fans have shown enthusiasm regarding a return to the Greece era.

Sharing an update on the recent discussions, Jeff Grubb says that the Greek God of War project is a side story for PlayStation.

What exactly this entails for the franchise remains to be seen, but the insider implies that the Greek project will be smaller scale and have a lower budget than the traditional AAA adventures of the Norse saga.

He also went on to say that his sources were unable to comment on the recent rumors regarding God of War remasters. Fortunately, fans will likely be more than happy with a return to Greece, even without the charm of the original games.

Perhaps PlayStation is looking to fill in the gaps between the Greek trilogy finale and the first Norse entry. A prequel comic already revealed details about Kratos’ journey between the events of God of War 3 and 2018, potentially setting the stage for something similar in game form.

Kratos Could Face Even Stronger Foes In The Future

Grub’s comment is interesting because PlayStation previously showed interest in Kratos’ Greek era with the excellent Valhalla DLC for God of War Ragnarok. Meanwhile, fans have also shown interest in an Egyptian setting for a future title.
