PlayStation fans finally got one of the announcements they’ve been waiting years for. During the PlayStation State of Play 2026, Sony confirmed that the God of War trilogy remake is officially in development, bringing Kratos back to his Greek mythology roots.
Even more exciting for longtime fans, the original Kratos voice actor, TC Carson, has confirmed the return of the iconic Greek-era saga, strongly hinting that the remake will stay faithful to the original tone and character that defined the early God of War games.
This announcement alone has sparked massive hype across the gaming community.
A Return to the Original God of War Saga
The remake project will rebuild the original God of War trilogy- God of War (2005), God of War II, and God of War III — for modern PlayStation hardware.
These games formed the foundation of the God of War series, introducing players to Kratos’ brutal war against the Olympian gods. Developed by Santa Monica Studio, the original trilogy became one of the most important franchises in PlayStation games history.
The Greek saga defined the identity of Kratos long before the Norse storyline seen in God of War Ragnarök and the 2018 reboot.
And now, that original rage-filled journey may be rebuilt from the ground up.
TC Carson Returns as Kratos
One of the biggest surprises from the Sony State of Play reveal was the involvement of T.C. Carson, the actor who originally voiced Kratos from 2005 to 2013.
Carson appeared during the announcement to confirm the remake project had entered development and teased that the next update would be “something big.”
For many fans, this is a huge moment. Carson’s voice defined the original God of War saga, and his return connects the remake directly to the classic God of War story that players remember from the PS2 and PS3 era.
This alone makes the remake feel less like a remaster and more like a true revival of the God of War game series.
Sons of Sparta Surprise Release
The trilogy remake wasn’t the only God of War news revealed at the event.
Sony surprised fans by announcing and immediately releasing God of War: Sons of Sparta during the PlayStation State of Play, making it available the same day on PS5.
The side-scrolling action platformer explores Kratos’ youth during Spartan training alongside his brother Deimos, expanding the Greek timeline of the franchise. The game was developed by Mega Cat Studios in partnership with Santa Monica Studio as part of the series’ anniversary celebration.
Interestingly, TC Carson reprises his role as Kratos as the narrator, marking his return to the franchise after more than a decade and reinforcing the focus on the Greek era of the God of War story.
Expected Release Window
Right now, Sony has confirmed that the God of War trilogy remake is still in very early development, meaning a release date has not yet been announced.
Because of that, industry speculation suggests the remake could arrive in the next few years, possibly as a major release for the latest PlayStation generation or even future hardware.
The teaser shown during the PlayStation State of Play only displayed the God of War logo, confirming development without revealing gameplay.
But even with limited details, the hype is already massive.
Why This Remake Matters
The original God of War games helped define action-adventure gaming on PlayStation. Revisiting them now, after the success of modern titles like God of War Ragnarök, could introduce Kratos’ Greek-era story to an entirely new generation of players.
For longtime fans, it’s a chance to experience the original God of War trilogy again — this time with modern visuals and gameplay improvements.
For new players, it’s an opportunity to see where the legend of Kratos truly began.
And if the early announcement is any indication, Olympus may fall once again.
