Good news, everyone! Sony har gått ut i en pressrelease och sagt att de populära PS2-liren God of War och God of War II ska släppas i en uppfräschad version till PS3. Som ni kanske minns frågade Sony fansen vad man skulle vilja se i en eventuell samlarutgåva för God of War III, och tydligen var det här alternativet så pass populärt att man väljer att släppa det vid sidan av.

Grafiken ska ha uppgraderats till 720p/60fps, vi får åtminstone Dolby Digital 5.1 och naturligtvis dyker det upp en hög med trophies. Releasedatumet är inte officiellt spikat än, men de har gått ut med att hela härligheten släpps lagomt till julhandeln, samtidigt som prisnivån hamnar i mittenfåran. Vilket för oss svenskar borde innebära cirka 1000 kronor enligt Nordisk Films synsätt på låga priser.

Toby, kan jag förhandspaxa recensionsexemplaret redan nu?

SCEA – God of War®Collection Announced for PS3

God of War Storyline
Set in the dark world of ancient Greek mythology, players take on the role of Kratos, a Spartan warrior. Plagued by the nightmares of his past, the ash covered warrior would do anything to be free of his debt to the Gods and the memories that haunt him. For ten years he has labored for Olympus, now on the verge of losing all hope, the Gods have given him one last task. Destroy Ares, the God of War. Armed with the deadly chained Blades of Chaos, Kratos will have to overcome armies of mythological monsters, legions of undead soldiers, and amazingly dangerous and brutal landscapes.

God of War II Storyline
God of War saw Kratos, a mortal warrior, set upon an epic quest to dethrone a God. But his journey did not end there. In God of War II, Kratos sits atop his Olympus throne, as the new God of War – far more ruthless than Ares ever was. To end his continued torment, Kratos must journey to the far reaches of the earth and defeat untold horrors and alter that which no mortal, or god has ever changed… his fate. God of War II sets an epic stage for a devastating mythological war to end all wars.
