Sony’s State of Play on Thursday had some surprises, including the remaster of Metal Gear Solid 4. Capping off the show were two announcements for the God of War franchise that no one saw coming.

The first reveal was made by TC Carson, the voice actor for Kratos in the original God of War games released on PS2 and PS3. Carson announced that the first three God of War games will be remade. The God of War Greek trilogy remakes are still in early development at Santa Monica Studio, and more details about the games will come in the future, so it’s safe to say that fans will have a lot of time to wait before they are released.

After the news of the remake of the trilogy, the last surprise was the release of a new God of War game, albeit in a game format new to the series. God of War: Sons of Sparta is a 2D action platformer that tells the story of Kratos’ youth as he trains to become a Spartan warrior with his brother Deimos. Developed by Mega Cat Studios (creator of the side-scrolling Five Nights at Freddy’s: Into The Pit) with a story written by Santa Monica Studio, young Kratos must learn to use his spear, shield and divine artifacts to defeat his enemies.

Since Kratos doesn’t have his traditional Blades of Chaos or Leviathan Ax in this new game, he’ll rely on a classic Spartan spear that can do more damage and is customizable. Changing the tip of the spear adds additional offensive stats or status effects to the weapon, such as poison or burn, while spear grips add a finishing move to his combos. Spear tails add a new special attack that Kratos can unleash.

With his shield, Kratos can dodge or block attacks from enemies. His shield can also be upgraded to make parling easier to reduce the damage Kratos takes when dodging. The Gifts of Olympus are divine artifacts Kratos can equip that can release punishing projectiles or their own melee combo. Kratos can also equip accessories called Gouri to improve his offense, defense or even help find secret treasure.

God of War: Sons of Sparta is made available to PlayStation Store according to what was revealed last Thursday. The standard edition costs $30 while the deluxe edition costs $40 and includes more in-game items, a PlayStation Network avatar, a digital artbook and soundtrack.

These announcements, along with news of a God of War TV series coming to Amazon, all part of the celebration for the 20th anniversary of God of War.
