PlayStation is bringing the latest God of War game to PS4, expanding its availability months after its PS5 release. The latest game from Santa Monica Studio and Mega Cat Studios, God of War Sons of Sparta, will arrive on the PS4 on November 16, 2026. It marks the second God of War game to be released on the PS4 after the PS5 was launched six years ago.
God of War Sons of Sparta was released earlier this year to mixed reviews. The 2D side-scrolling Metroidvania takes a different approach to the franchise’s gameplay and presentation. It follows a young Kratos and his brother, Deimos, as they train and fight as Spartan warriors. It brings back the original Kratos actor, T.C. Carson, 13 years after his last performance in God of War: Ascension. The PS4 release will coincide with a free update that adds new game modes.
God of War Sons of Sparta brings new modes with a free update
The upcoming Sons of Sparta update will add Hermes and Erebus modes. In Hermes mode, players can speedrun the game using a new toolkit, a split timer, a persistent scoreboard, and other features. It can be unlocked after beating the game once. Players can also enter the following code to access the mode: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, L1, R1, Touchpad. Erebus mode ups the ante of the game’s combat by making it so both the player and enemies die from a single hit.
Santa Monica Studio is also developing God of War Laufey, which was recently delayed to a later date in 2027. The game will feature Kratos’ late wife Faye as its protagonist in the afterlife of the gods. The developer is also busy remaking the God of War trilogy.
God of War Sons of Sparta is available on the PlayStation Store for $29.99.
