Rumors Swirl About Potential Remaster of Original God of War Trilogy
The iconic God of War trilogy may soon receive a remastered version, as suggested by recent buzz in the gaming community. XboxEra's Nick Baker hinted at this possibility during "The 4th Annual Grubbsmas Shpeshaltacular", sparking excitement among fans of the classic series.
The original trilogy, known for its intense hack-and-slash gameplay, differs significantly from the series' latest direction. Baker shared his enthusiasm for the original games, noting their distinct appeal. He mentioned the potential remaster might land on PlayStation, but specifics regarding the nature of this remaster remain unclear.
There's speculation about whether the remaster will be a straightforward port of the PlayStation 3 versions or something more substantial, akin to a remake. Unfortunately, Baker could not confirm a timeline for the release or provide further details about the project's scope. Notably, 2013's God of War Ascension seems unlikely to be part of this remaster.
As the gaming world anticipates an official announcement, this news remains a rumor for now. The original God of War, a landmark in the action-adventure genre, will celebrate its twentieth anniversary in 2025, with its successors, God of War 2 and 3, released in 2007 and 2010, respectively.
In related news, Cliff Bleszinski, creator of the Gears of War series, has expressed interest in a God of War-style reboot for his franchise, awaiting a green light from Xbox.
