God of War: Sons of Sparta Spotted in PlayStation Database, but PS4 Release Is Unclear

God of War: Sons of Sparta may be coming to PS4. PlayStation database tracker PlayStation Size spotted information about a version for the previous-generation console.

The PlayStation Size account shared the discovery on X. If the information is confirmed, the retro action game with metroidvania elements will reach PS4 several months after its PS5-exclusive launch.

God of War: Sons of Sparta was developed by Mega Cat Studios in collaboration with SIE Santa Monica Studio. The game launched on February 12, 2026, and differs notably from the main series. It is a 2D action platformer with pixel art, side-scrolling combat, and world exploration.

The story takes place before the other games in the franchise. It follows young Kratos and Deimos as they train in the Spartan agoge, showing the future god’s life before he became a legendary warrior.

Sons of Sparta also departs from the direction established by 2018’s God of War. The story continued in God of War Ragnarök (2022), which concluded the Norse saga. In 2023, the series received the free roguelike expansion Valhalla, which focuses on Kratos’s struggle with his past.

Sony and the developers have not confirmed a PS4 release for Sons of Sparta.
