Franchise History
Sons of Sparta is not the first prequel for the God of War series. It builds on the narrative threads established in previous titles. The PlayStation Portable game, Ghost of Sparta, also explored Kratos’ relationship with Deimos.
Additionally, this representation of a pixelated Kratos is reminiscent of the 2007 mobile title, God of War: Betrayal. Despite these prior releases, Sons of Sparta marks the furthest back players have traversed in Kratos’ story.
Release Information
God of War: Sons of Sparta launched today and is now accessible for gamers on PlayStation 5. It aims to bridge the gap while fans await the upcoming remake of the original God of War trilogy.
