Mumbai, February 13: Sony Interactive Entertainment has officially confirmed that a remake of the original God of War trilogy is currently in development for the PlayStation 5. The announcement comes as part of the franchise's 20th anniversary celebrations, marking two decades since the series first debuted on the PlayStation 2 in March 2005.

While specific technical details remain under wraps, Santa Monica Studio confirmed that the remake will feature the return of TC Carson, the original voice actor who portrayed Kratos throughout the Greek era. PS5 Games Update: Sony Unveils God of War Greek Trilogy Remake and John Wick Game in Major 2026 State of Play Showcase.

Development Status and Anniversary Milestone

The studio has noted that the trilogy remake is in the early stages of production. Consequently, a specific release window has not yet been provided to the public. Developers have asked for patience from the global gaming community, stating that further updates will be shared once the project reaches a more advanced phase of development.

This move follows years of speculation and frequent requests from the fan base to see the original titles updated for modern hardware. The trilogy originally spanned the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 eras, focusing on Kratos' quest for vengeance against the Olympian gods.
