[Rumor] Classic God of War Games Could be Getting Remaster

With the recent surfaced rumor, classic God of War games could be getting a Remaster edition, for the franchise’s 20th anniversary.

Big Rumor for God of War Games

During the PS3 era, Sony would rerelease the older God of War games through remastered collections, giving players a convenient way to experience Kratos’s dark saga of revenge against Ares, Zeus, and the rest of the ancient Greek pantheon. However, only 2010’s God of War 3 was rereleased on the PS4, meaning that there has been no way for gamers who don’t own its predecessor to play the older games aside from having a subscription to PS Plus. Even then, only the console titles are available, with handheld spin-offs like Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta left inaccessible.

This might change soon, at least according to a rumor from Need4Games (as translated by Comicbook). An alleged insider by the handle of “Lunatic Ignus” claimed that multiple God of War remasters are in the works for the PS5 on Discord, including the three mainline entries, the previously mentioned portable spin-offs, and the 2013 prequel God of War: Ascension. These remasters are reportedly being handled by Sony PC port developer Nixxes, and will be announced in March 2025 to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the first game’s original release.

This information is currently just rumors, so fans hoping to replay the older God of War games shouldn’t get excited just yet. That being said, there has been an increase in PlayStation remasters and rereleases lately, with a remaster of 2017’s Horizon Zero Dawn set to launch on the PS5 later this month. Given that most of the classic God of War games aren’t available to play on current systems, it could be argued that a remaster of these titles is needed more than games that could easily be played through the PS5’s backward compatibility.
