The rumor mill for those God of War remasters is still going, but this time we may be finally nearing the end of it.
Over on Bluesky, artist Kris Anka revealed that he would be part of the God of War 20th Anniversary Exhibition, to be held in art gallery Nucleus in Alhambra, California, this coming March 15 to 23.
Over at Nucleus’ website, they promised “an exclusive showcase of tribute art, concept art, and memorabilia that highlights the rich legacy of this incredible series.”
Jeff Grubb quoted Anka’s post with some new information of his own:
“I think that those god of war remaster rumors just jumped the gun a little bit. That stuff will happen closer to this.”
The way Grubb phrased this statement makes it vague if he corroborated this information with his own sources, or if he is simply speculating. But if it’s the latter, it’s a decently smart guess.
We reported on these rumors all the way back in October 2024. Since then, there have been multiple claims that Sony would be revealing the remaster in a Sony event or presentation. And Sony has repeatedly let those insiders down.
Sony, of course, knows about God of War’s loyal fanbase, and they would want to make sure that they make the most out of announcing and releasing this game collection. This isn’t going to be the same situation as The Last of Us Part II Remastered, or for that matter, Days Gone Remastered. There will be a lot of interest in this potential collection because these games have not seen any form of remake or remaster for years now.
On one level, these games will be a blast from the past with nostalgic appeal for many fans. But on top of that, these games were made in earlier generations of video games, when there was a sizable gap between what video game consoles and PCs were capable of. So, more than remasters, full remakes might realize a different vision of these games, that will be closer to the vision their creators have.
The original God of War released on the PlayStation 2 all the way back in March 22, 2005. Sony may very well have a State of Play, or perhaps even a PlayStation Showcase, dedicated to revealing these God of War remasters. The adage where there’s smoke, there’s fire may never be more truer than it is in this case. Too many people have confirmed these remasters for them to not be true. Short of Sony cancelling the release of these remasters for whatever reason, the announcement is an inevitability.
