God of War is a popular saga and fans are always eagerly awaiting news. And it could be that something important is brewing.
PlayStation Plus on PS5 recently underwent some adjustments to make it easier to navigate. Among these new features we find specific icons for each section of classic games, sorted by console. But one detail immediately caught attention: Kratos in his version God of war from the Greek era, appears on the PS2 area icon. However, there is no God of War game in this category yet. So what can we infer from this?
Is God of War coming to PlayStation Plus Premium soon?
This unexpected appearance quickly sparked rumors. Many believe that this could be a harbinger of the games to come God of War (2005) et GoW 2 To PlayStation Plus Premium. This would be nothing new for Sony. The icon of Regina, Dino crisishad also appeared on the service before the game was added… although it took two years.
So is this a simple teaser or an announcement in disguise? Fans are hoping that these iconic PS2 titles will soon land in the premium library, in emulated or remastered versions. The big question is what exactly Sony is planning. Some people dream about it Remastered Games from the Greek saga, with modernized graphics, like the numerous redesigns of The Last of Us. Others imagine a simple emulation of the PS2 versions, as Sony has already done for other classics in the catalog.
However, remaking the God of War games with modern graphics would be a huge project. Originally released on PS2, these titles would require a complete overhaul of the graphics, gameplay, and even cutscenes. Such work would take several years and be very expensive. For this reason, many rely on high quality emulation instead.
Hope is reborn
This isn’t the first time the community has asked the why of games God of war are not yet available natively on PlayStation Plus Premium. Sony had already offered one Collection HD from GoW for the PS3, but these versions are only available via streaming and not as a direct download. This surprises many fans, especially given the popularity of the series.
With the appearance of Kratos on the PS2 section icon, hopes are reborn. Many are hoping that this means Sony is finally ready to expand its PS Plus catalog to include these Greek-era masterpieces.
