Sony Surprise Drops A Retro 2D God Of War Prequel You Can Play Right Now

We’re not getting a new 3D God of War just yet, but Sony did end today’s big PlayStation Showcase with a surprise shadowdrop for a 2D spin-off. God of War Sons of Sparta is a retro action platformer that takes Kratos’ story back to the beginning.

“God of War Sons of Sparta is a 2D action platformer with a canon story set in Kratos’ youth during his brutal training at the Spartan Agoge alongside his brother Deimos,” reads the official description. “They must overcome threats that will put all their training to the test while confronting the true meaning of duty and honor.”

It’s been developed by Mega Cat Studios,  in partnership with Santa Monica Studio.
