The God of War franchise is celebrating its 20th anniversary, and speculation is heating up about a potential remastered collection of Kratos’ original adventures. While fans were hoping for an announcement at the recent PlayStation State of Play, new reports suggest that a reveal could be coming next month.
God of War 20th Anniversary Exhibition & Possible Reveal
California-based art gallery Nucleus is set to host the God of War 20th Anniversary Exhibition from March 15th to 23rd. This special event will showcase tribute art, concept designs, and memorabilia from over 30 artists, including key contributors to the franchise like Luke Berliner and Cecil Kim. On March 15th, there will be a developer panel at 4 P.M. PT, although specific panelists have yet to be announced. Fans are eagerly anticipating that this panel could serve as the platform for unveiling the rumored God of War Remastered Collection for PS5.
Industry Insider Hints at March Reveal
Notable industry insider Jeff Grubb recently hinted at a potential announcement. Posting on Bluesky, he stated that the previous rumors about the God of War remaster were “a bit premature” but suggested that an official reveal could happen closer to the franchise’s 20th anniversary on March 22nd.
What Could Be Included in the God of War Remastered Collection?
If the remaster is real, it is expected to cover Kratos’ Greek mythology era, including the following titles. Currently, only God of War III Remastered is available on the PS5, while the earlier games remain locked on PS2, PSP, and PS3. Sony could either release the collection with PS2/PSP emulation and upscaling as part of PS Plus Premium or develop a fully remastered bundle for modern hardware.

- God of War III (2010) (previously remastered for PS4)
- God of War: Chains of Olympus (2008)

How Sony Might Approach the Remaster
With the success of God of War Ragnarök: Valhalla, which bridged the gap between Kratos’ Greek and Norse sagas, now seems like the perfect time to reintroduce his earlier adventures. Additionally, rumors about the next God of War game have been swirling, with some insiders suggesting a young Kratos storyline set in Greece. Sony has received criticism for excessive re-releases, but a remastered God of War collection would allow new players to experience the origins of Kratos’ journey while also catering to long-time fans eager to revisit the classic titles.
Will We See a New Game Announcement?
While most speculation surrounds the remastered collection, some fans are hopeful that Sony could use the 20th-anniversary celebration to tease a brand-new entry in the franchise. Recent leaks have hinted at a possible setting in Egyptian mythology or a return to Kratos’ younger days in Greece. However, official confirmation is still awaited.
Final Thoughts
As we approach March, anticipation for God of War’s 20th anniversary continues to grow. Whether it’s a remastered collection, a PS Plus re-release, or even a teaser for a new game, Sony is almost certain to celebrate Kratos’ legacy in a big way.
