It was the showstopper of State of Play 2026! Kratos’ return to his Greek roots has electrified fans worldwide. Hearing TC Carson’s iconic voice again gave everyone goosebumps.

Here’s a special blog draft dedicated to this massive announcement, featuring trailer breakdowns and technical analysis. Inspired by Kratos’ rage, I prepared it with a blood red and ancient marble white theme:

The Legend Returns: God of War Trilogy Remake Announced!

The PlayStation State of Play 2026 ended with a moment that froze the entire gaming world. Years of rumors have finally come true: God of War (Greek Trilogy) is being completely rebuilt from the ground up with cutting-edge technology!

Trailer Breakdown: Chaos Reborn

In the short but powerful teaser, we hear Kratos’ legendary chain sounds in a dark room. Then, the voice of the original series’ iconic actor, TC Carson, echoes: "The gods of Olympus have abandoned me..."

• Visual Feast: The trailer shows Kratos’ silhouette atop Mount Olympus, powered by next-gen graphics (most likely running on PS5 Pro). The shine of the chains and the realism of Kratos’ tattoos have never looked this stunning.

• Music: The classic epic choir theme is back, enriched by Bear McCreary’s touch and reimagined for a new generation.

• The TC Carson Factor: After Christopher Judge’s brilliant performance, Carson’s return brings back the raw fury of the Greek era, showing just how faithful this remake will be to the original spirit.

What to Expect? Remake or Remaster?

Santa Monica Studio has made it clear this is a "Remake". That means it’s not just upgraded visuals—gameplay mechanics, camera angles, and environment interactions are all being reimagined for today’s standards.

• Camera: Will the original fixed camera angles remain, or will we see a 2018-style over-the-shoulder view? The studio says it’s still “early days” and isn’t revealing details yet.

• 20th Anniversary Gift: This announcement is a tribute to the franchise’s 20th anniversary, coming up in March 2026.

Surprise Reveal: God of War: Sons of Sparta

Not stopping with the Trilogy Remake, Sony also “shadow dropped” a brand new 2D pixel-art side game right after the broadcast: God of War: Sons of Sparta is now available for PS Plus members! Focusing on Kratos’ past with his brother Deimos, this game is the perfect appetizer until the main Remake arrives.
