The God of War Remastered Collection is here, marking a thrilling return for fans that rekindles cherished memories and legendary stories.
For weeks, speculation about a God of War Remastered Collection for the PS5 has been brewing, but the recent State of Play failed to meet expectations. Fans were left disappointed with no sign of Kratos or any monumental news. However, a surprise announcement has emerged, reigniting hope and suggesting that the long-awaited reveal may be just around the corner.
A Special Anniversary Celebration
The Californian art gallery Nucleus is commemorating the 20th anniversary of God of War with a captivating exhibition. From March 15 to 23, fans will have the chance to view tribute art, concept pieces, and nostalgic memorabilia. Renowned artists like Luke Berliner and Cecil Kim, who contributed to the franchise, will participate. A standout event is scheduled for March 15, featuring an exclusive panel with developers, potentially hinting at more than just a nostalgic glance back.
The event’s official description highlights: “Two decades after the release of the first game on the PS2, God of War is esteemed as one of the most iconic franchises in gaming history.” This celebration seems perfectly timed for an announcement regarding a remastered collection.
Insiders Stirring Anticipation
Industry insider Jeff Grubb adds more fuel to the speculation. In a recent post on Bluesky, he noted, “The rumors about the God of War Remaster were just premature. It will happen soon.” He isn’t alone in this thinking; many believe Sony won’t let this anniversary pass without making a splash.
If the collection does materialize, it’s likely to feature the classics: God of War, God of War 2, God of War 3, God of War: Chains of Olympus, God of War: Ghost of Sparta, and God of War: Ascension—essentially, the entire Greek saga of Kratos presented in a stunning new way.
Even if the Remastered Collection turns out to be just speculation, one thing is clear: Kratos’ journey is far from over. Discussions about the next chapter are heating up. Insiders hint at a journey set in Egypt, while others envision a younger Kratos in Greece, aligning with vague reports suggesting that Kratos may traverse various settings.
Whether it’s the much-anticipated remastered collection or the next grand adventure, 2025 looks to be an incredible year for God of War aficionados.
God of War Remastered: History of God of War
Launched in 2005 by Sony Corporation, God of War remains a landmark in the gaming universe, particularly for PlayStation 2 fans. Often hailed as one of the greatest games ever made, it won the hearts of gamers and critics with its stunning graphics, compelling story, and immersive gameplay.
The God of War series, birthed by David Jaffe and brought to life by Sony’s Santa Monica Studio, started its journey on the PlayStation 2 and quickly became a flagship series for PlayStation. With nine entries across multiple platforms, the franchise draws its inspiration from rich ancient mythologies. At its center is Kratos, a Spartan warrior turned God of War, navigating through various mythological realms. The earlier titles immerse players in Greek mythology, showcasing Kratos’s unyielding pursuit of revenge against the Olympian gods. Later games transition into Norse mythology, chronicling Kratos’s path to redemption alongside his son Atreus as they face new challenges and engage with Norse gods and legends.
Santa Monica Studio has been behind all the main titles, while Ready at Dawn and Javaground/Sony Online Entertainment-Los Angeles contributed to three side games. Every title has been published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, except for the mobile version, which was released by Sony Pictures Digital. The initial seven games establish the Greek narrative arc of the franchise. The main trilogy includes God of War (2005), God of War II (2007), and God of War III (2010); the first two premiered on PS2, while the last made its debut on PlayStation 3 (PS3). A prequel, Ascension, was also released for PS3 in 2013. Additional stand-alone titles, such as Chains of Olympus (2008) and Ghost of Sparta(2010) for PlayStation Portable (PSP), along with Betrayal (2007) for Java ME-enabled mobile devices, expanded the universe.
The Norse saga began with the critically acclaimed God of War (2018) for PlayStation 4, which was later released for Windows in January 2022. This installment was complemented by a short prequel, A Call from the Wilds, which players could access through Facebook Messenger. The journey continued with the release of Ragnarök in November 2022 for both PS4 and PlayStation 5, completing the Norse chapter. An epilogue expansion, Valhalla, was released in December 2023, with a Windows version of Ragnarök bundled with Valhalla set to launch in September 2024.
God of War Remastered
Games in this series have earned acclaim as some of the finest action titles ever created. They’ve garnered a host of accolades, including multiple Game of the Year awards for both the 2005 and 2018 releases. Many of these entries have also been remastered for modern PlayStation consoles. As of November 2023, the franchise boasts impressive sales figures, exceeding 66 million copies sold worldwide, making it PlayStation’s most profitable first-party brand. The robust support and sales have spurred the franchise’s growth into other media formats, resulting in three comic book series and three novels. Although a film adaptation of the original game was in the works, it was ultimately scrapped. However, an exciting television series set in the Norse era is currently under development for Amazon Prime Video. The merchandise lineup is extensive, featuring artwork, clothing, toys, and prop replicas, as well as the game’s soundtracks, including a heavy metal album titled Blood & Metal (2010), which showcases original music inspired by the series’ Greek era.
