GOD OF WAR TRILOGY REMAKE REVEALED! TC Carson Returns, New Combat & Sons of Sparta Shadow Drop! Sony has officially confirmed that a full remake of the original God of War Greek trilogy is in development at Santa Monica Studio, featuring the return of original Kratos voice actor TC Carson. Announced as the "one last thing" during the February 2026 State of Play, the project will rebuild God of War (2005), God of War II, and God of War III for modern hardware to celebrate the franchise’s 20th anniversary this March. While the announcement lacked gameplay footage, it confirmed that the games are being "rebuilt from scratch," leading to intense speculation about whether they will retain the classic fixed-camera angles or adopt the over-the-shoulder style of the Norse saga. To tide fans over during what is expected to be a multi-year wait, Sony "shadow-dropped" God of War: Sons of Sparta—a 2D pixel-art Metroidvania prequel developed by Mega Cat Studios—which is available to play on PS5 right now. Rumors from industry insiders like Tom Henderson suggest the remakes may serve as a bridge to a new mainline entry that could see Kratos return to a reformed Greece, potentially wielding a scythe as a new primary weapon.
Official Status: Early Development (Announced Feb 12, 2026).
The Voice: TC Carson is officially back as the Greek-era Kratos, distinguishing this project from Christopher Judge's Norse era.
The "Shadow Drop": God of War: Sons of Sparta is out now on PS5 ($29.99), featuring 2D combat and a story focused on young Kratos and his brother Deimos.
Development: Being handled in-house at Santa Monica Studio, possibly with assistance from other Sony teams.
Release Window: None officially given, but fans should expect a 2027 or 2028 launch given its early status. "The TC Carson Return": This is a huge olive branch to the "Old School" fans. Having the original voice back suggests they want to preserve the "angry, vengeful" vibe of the original games rather than trying to make them "softer" like the newer ones.
Fixed Camera or Over-the-Shoulder? This is the biggest debate in the community right now. Discuss how a "modern" camera would change iconic boss fights like the Hydra or Cronos. It’s a massive technical challenge to rebuild those set pieces for a free camera.
HE’S BACK! Saber Interactive Reveals AAA John Wick Game Starring Keanu Reeves! Saber Interactive has officially announced a high-budget AAA John Wick video game featuring Keanu Reeves’ voice and likeness, set to release on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Unveiled with a cinematic trailer during the February 2026 State of Play, the game is a single-player, third-person action experience that tells an original story set years before the "Impossible Task" mentioned in the first film. The project is being developed alongside franchise visionary Chad Stahelski to ensure the series' signature "gun-fu" choreography and neo-noir aesthetic are perfectly translated into gameplay. While an official release date hasn't been set, industry insiders are eyeing a 2027 or 2028 launch. The reveal trailer showcased ultra-realistic 4K graphics, with brief gameplay segments highlighting a "bespoke combat system" that blends tactical shooting, fluid melee finishers, and high-speed driving sequences through rain-drenched cityscapes. The Lead: Keanu Reeves is officially reprising his role for both voice and motion capture.
The Timeline: The game is a prequel, exploring John’s "prime" years before he retired for Helen. "Gun-Fu" Combat: A custom system built from scratch to focus on rhythm, timing, and tactical reloads.
Camerawork: Features dynamic, cinematic camera shifts that mimic the "long-take" style of the movies.
Developer: Saber Interactive (The studio behind Space Marine 2 and World War Z). Platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. "The Space Marine 2 Connection": Mention that Saber Interactive is on a massive hot streak. Their work on Space Marine 2 (which sold 7M+ units) proved they can handle "power fantasy" combat. If they bring that same weight and polish to John Wick, this could be the best movie-to-game adaptation since Batman: Arkham Asylum.
Keanu’s Involvement: This is huge. Many movie games use "sound-alikes," but having Keanu himself ensures the dry wit and intensity of the character remain intact.

Why the Shadow Drop? Point out that Sony knows the remake is years away. Releasing Sons of Sparta now is a genius move to keep the 20th Anniversary momentum going while they work on the "Big Three."

Driving: Confirmed high-stakes vehicle sequences featuring classic muscle cars.

"The Space Marine 2 Connection": Mention that Saber Interactive is on a massive hot streak. Their work on Space Marine 2 (which sold 7M+ units) proved they can handle "power fantasy" combat.

Expanding the Lore: Since it’s a prequel, talk about the potential for seeing younger versions of Winston (Ian McShane) or Charon (Lance Reddick). It’s an opportunity to see the Continental in its "glory days."
