God of War trilogy remake is real, and it’s finally happening

The Greek saga remakes are in development, no timeline yet, so expect a long wait for the next reveal.

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.

AI and vibe coding have unleashed a flood of new games, but not necessarily better ones
181,000 mobile games were launched in six months but big publishers still dominate.

If your app store feels packed with new games lately, AI is the reason behind it. Research company ATTN Economy found that 181,000 mobile games launched in the six months to May 2026, up 118% on iOS and 73% on Android compared to the same period last year.

Much of that surge comes down to vibe-coding, a growing trend where people with little to no programming knowledge can use AI tools to build and ship games without actually coding. The barrier to entry has never been lower, but the rewards are still going to the same people they always have.

The no-disc release for GTA 6 could be hiding a deeper problem and that makes me a bit anxious
GTA 6 may launch without a real disc because Rockstar could still be finishing the game
Grand Theft Auto VI GTA 6 Featured

As a gamer and a games collector, it is frustrating that GTA 6, arguably the most anticipated game of all time, is not getting a proper disc release at launch. The boxed copy will reportedly contain only a download code, which defeats much of the point of buying physical in the first place.

It also does not help that Rockstar has already annoyed some fans by locking certain in-game shops, vehicles, storage locations, and other bonuses behind the more expensive Ultimate Edition. For a game as massive as GTA 6, both decisions feel like the kind of moves players were hoping Rockstar would avoid.

Sony may have just dropped its biggest hint yet that a true PlayStation handheld is on the way. In a recently published Q&A with investors, Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Hideaki Nishino said the company's next-generation PlayStation strategy will deliver a seamless gaming experience that extends "beyond the living room." While he never explicitly mentioned a handheld, the comments have once again fueled speculation that Sony is preparing to return to the portable gaming space with the PS6 generation.
