Sony Confirms God of War's Action Platformer Prequel Sons of Sparta Is Bringing 2 New Modes to PS4 and PS5 Next Week
Sony and Mega Cat Studios are adding Hermes Mode and Erebus Mode, with Erebus Mode turning the game into a one-hit-kill challenge.
- Sony confirmed plans to bring God of War Sons of Sparta to PS4 on November 16, with developer Mega Cat Studios adding two new game modes available on both platforms.
- Shadow-Dropped in February as an experimental PS5 title, the prequel side-scroller received middling reviews, with IGN calling it "a pretty mediocre Metroidvania" that "failed" to meet genre standards.
- Hermes Mode is described as a "race against the clock" featuring speedrunning tools like a split-based timer and persistent scoreboard, while Erebus Mode offers a one-hit-kill mechanic affecting both Kratos and enemies.
- Players can "Experience an untold chapter in Kratos" featuring original actor Terrence Carson, navigating early Spartan training in ancient Greece alongside his brother Deimos.
- The PS5-exclusive God of War Laufey is set to launch May 20, 2027, following a recent delay, with the prequel serving as a stopgap for Sony during the extended wait.
