Throughout at present’s PlayStation State of Play, the primary of the yr, Sony Santa Monica Studio introduced it has began work on a remake of the unique God of Warfare trilogy.
Right here’s the trailer for this newly introduced venture.
There’s not a lot to see on this new trailer, which is admittedly only a tiny teaser announcement for the venture. By far one of the best a part of the teaser is TC Carson, the unique voice actor for Kratos, exhibiting as much as be cool as heck and virtually distracting me from the truth that this sport is years away from launch. Nearly.
“This project is still in the early stages,” teased Carson. “Next time we come back, we’re coming with something big.” The voice actor additionally confirmed he’ll be again because the voice of Kratos for this new venture, and uh…that’s actually it.
Whereas I’m excited for Carson’s return, I’m undoubtedly depressed to see one other huge online game franchise returning to the previous with a remake as an alternative of pushing ahead with one thing new. It jogs my memory of Halo’s not too long ago introduced remake of the OG sport, which is coming to PS5 and Xbox later this yr. Whereas I get that some followers are excited to replay these video games and others are blissful to have a brand new solution to hop in, I’m simply sitting right here worrying that we now have entered an period when even massively well-liked franchises are unable to take dangers on new concepts and should depend on what got here earlier than them to stay round.
Then again, throughout this identical teaser reveal for a God of Warfare trilogy remake, PlayStation announced and released a new 2D God of War prequel that appears enjoyable and is the form of factor I wish to see extra of from huge firms. Let different studios mess around along with your franchises by way of smaller video games with smaller budgets and fewer danger. That’s cool. God of Warfare: Sons of Sparta is out at present on PS5. The remake trilogy is years away, however in improvement.
