Key Takeaways

  • Sony will reportedly make a God of War related announcement in December 2024.
  • This announcement may reveal the rumored remasters of the Greek God of War games.
  • Alternatively, Sony could announce the addition of the Greek God of War games to PS Plus Premium next year.

As a long-time fanatic of the God of War series, I can hardly contain my excitement at the prospect of Sony making a related announcement this December! The rumors swirling around the franchise have been tantalizingly close to my heart for years.

A trustworthy source within Sony hints at an upcoming revelation concerning the popular game, God of War, within the next few weeks. Lately, various whispers about the God of War franchise have emerged, stirring up excitement and speculation regarding what this potential announcement might entail.

The God of War series, one of Sony PlayStation’s longest-standing franchises, introduced its latest main installment, God of War Ragnarok, only two years back. This critically acclaimed end to the Norse story has sparked anticipation for more God of War titles, and if current whispers are true, the original Greek narrative may return. It’s rumored that remasters of the original Greek God of War games are being developed at PlayStation’s PC conversion studio Nixxes, with a potential release next year to mark the series’ 20th anniversary.

According to the industry tipster known as Lunatic Ignus, who sparked the talk about remasters of the Greek mythology series, recently hinted on Twitter that Sony might unveil some “God of War-related” news in December. The tipster is confident this revelation will take place at either The Game Awards or a possible PlayStation State of Play or Showcase. However, another reliable insider, Jeff Grubb, has dismissed rumors about a December PlayStation event, leaving only The Game Awards as a potential venue for Lunatic Ignus’ predicted “God of War” announcement.

It’s Most Likely Too Early for the Next God of War Game to Be Revealed

There’s a possibility that we might hear about a potential new God of War installation at the 2024 Game Awards. Given that the Valhalla DLC for God of War Ragnarok was unveiled at TGA 2023, it wouldn’t be surprising if Sony decided to attend the event again next year with similar news. As for what fans might anticipate from this potential announcement, it’s highly unlikely that the mainline God of War game or the rumored spin-off featuring Atreus are ready for a public unveiling just yet. This narrows down the possibilities, and the most plausible candidate seems to be remastered versions of the Greek God of War series, which could be announced soon.

While rumors about remasters of the Greek God of War haven’t been confirmed by other reliable sources yet, implying they might not materialize, Sony and Santa Monica Studio could instead take a practical step to honor God of War’s 20th anniversary next year. They could add the classic Greek God of War games to the PS Plus Premium collection as natives, allowing players to enjoy them without cloud streaming on their PS4 or PS5 systems. Given that most older God of War titles are currently only playable through cloud streaming, fans would undoubtedly welcome the opportunity to play them natively.
