A surprise God of War prequel is out on the PS5 right now


To close out its February 2026 State of Play presentation, Sony revealed God of War Sons of Sparta, a new prequel 2D side scroller in the God of War franchise, and announced that itโ€™s out right now on PlayStation 5.

โ€God of War Sons of Sparta is a 2D action platformer with a canon story set in Kratosโ€™ youth during his harsh training at the Agoge alongside his brother Deimos,โ€ Sony says. Over the course of the game, Kratos will โ€œlearn deadly skills using his spear and shield, as well as harness powerful divine artifacts known as the Gifts of Olympus to take on a wide array of foes.โ€

Sonyโ€™s Santa Monica Studio collaborated on the game with Mega Cat Studios. It costs $29.99, with a Digital Deluxe version available for $39.99.

Sony also announced that itโ€™s working on a remake of the original God of War trilogy, with TC Carson set to return as the voice of Kratos. However, the project is โ€œstill very early in development, so we ask for your patience as it will be a while before anything else can be shared,โ€ according to Sony. โ€œWhen we can come back with an update, we aim to make it a big one!โ€
