The unique God of Warfare video games will allegedly make a comeback on PS5, though we’re not placing an excessive amount of weight behind the supply. Talking on the Xbox Period podcast – we all know, we all know – infamous rumourmonger Nick Baker mentioned {that a} remaster of Kratos’ first three adventures “may be taking place”. It’s maybe value noting that God of Warfare 3 was already re-released for the PS4, and is totally playable with backwards compatibility on Sony’s new-gen console.
The Japanese big famously remastered the primary two video games within the collection for the PS3, in addition to its PSP counterparts. This kickstarted a development on the time, which resulted in a ton of HD re-releases of fashionable PS2 titles. However outdoors of cloud streaming, the PS5 can’t natively play PS3 video games, so we suppose it is smart to deliver them again.
“I’ve heard that we may be getting the unique God of Warfare trilogy remastered on PlayStation,” declared Baker, though he was unsurprisingly scuzzy on the main points. “Is that this a straight-up port of what we received on PS3? During which case, I am considerably much less excited. Or is that this one thing extra concerned, extra within the remake realm?”
Baker’s gone huge on PlayStation rumours previously, however not a lot of them have come true. Again in 2021, he mentioned there’s a “probability” of a brand new inFAMOUS being introduced at a PS Showcase, however the occasion got here and went with none point out of Sucker Punch’s superhero collection. A yr later, he claimed there was additionally a brand new Sly Cooper within the works, which prompted the Seattle-based developer to outright deny the hypothesis: “For now there aren’t any inFAMOUS or Sly Cooper video games in improvement.”
After all, it’s attainable Sony could look to deliver again the unique God of Warfare video games, purely for preservation functions. With out delving too deeply into spoilers, the brand new God of Warfare Ragnarok: Valhalla add-on has sturdy ties to the PS2 titles, and these classics aren’t precisely straightforward to play on up to date {hardware} anymore.
It’s an excellent guess, then – however that’s most likely all it’s!
