Kratos’ Original Voice Actor Returns for God of War Trilogy Remake
As announced during today’s State of Play, the original God of War trilogy is being remade! There aren’t many details about the project beyond it being in early development, though we do know that TC Carson, the voice actor who portrayed Kratos in the original trilogy, is returning to voice the character.

Now, what might not have been surprising is that Santa Monica also took the opportunity to announce God of War: Sons of Sparta, a new 2D God of War game developed by Mega Cat Studios.
About the game (via PSBlog)
“God of War Sons of Sparta is a 2D action platformer with a canon story set in Kratos’ youth during his harsh training at the Agoge alongside his brother Deimos.
From the writing team at Santa Monica Studio that brought you God of War (2018) and God of War Ragnarök, Sons of Sparta is a tale of duty, honor, and brotherhood featuring TC Carson who reprises his role the first time in over a decade as the adult version of Kratos, our story’s narrator!
God of War’s kinetic combat has found a home in a brand-new genre. Kratos will learn deadly skills using his spear and shield, as well as harness powerful divine artifacts known as the Gifts of Olympus to take on a wide array of foes. Sons of Sparta features the return of iconic classics recreated in 2D with stunning hand-drawn pixel animation, as well as a host of new creatures to the franchise inspired by the rich, untapped facets of Greek mythology brought to life by the retro experts at Mega Cat Studios. ”
The best part? It’s available, right now!
