God of War: Sons of Sparta is available starting today. This game is the long-awaited 2.5D Metroidvania-style game. It was the final game announced during the Sony State of Play, and the big announcement was that it’s available today.
The trailer for the shadow-dropped game came after an announcement that the original God of War Trilogy is being remade. That, however, is a long way away as the game is in the early stages of development. To make up for that, the long-rumored Metroidvania God of War is playable now.
Called “God of War: Sons of Sparta,” it tells Kratos’s origin story. Long before he was a God of War, he was a Spartan. There were brief action shots, clips of major enemy battles, and more. The legendary saga begins here.
The Future of the God of War Franchise
Not only is Kratos a video game legend, but his story is coming to television: Prime Video has ordered a series with Ryan Hurst, best known for his work in Sons of Anarchy, who will star as the Spartan. That series will also feature Mandy Patinkin and more.
The show will be largely based on the franchise’s newer games. Sons of Sparta is a brand new title, taking it all back to the beginning. It is available now for $29.99.
