Update: It’s been confirmed by Sony Santa Monica during their live-streamed speed-run of God of War III in honor of the series’ 10th anniversary that God of War III: Remastered will run consistently at 60 fps. We regret any confusion caused by previous statements of it running at 30 fps.
Original Story: If you thought that this generation couldn’t get enough remasters, than think again. This summer, PlayStation 4 owners will get to experience Kratos’s death march to Mount Olympus all over again in the shiniest, grittiest kills that HD can offer.
If the trailer above looks a bit familiar to you – than by all means, it should. Sony’s announced today that God of War III (no, not 4, sorry) will be remastered for the Playstation 4 in 1080p this July 14th.
The 2010 action-game debuted on the PlayStation 3 five years ago and its prequel, God of War: Ascension, released just two years ago this month. The remastered version will be in 1080p and 30 frames per second.
We actually kind of loved Ascension‘s multiplayer back in the day, if not its underdeveloped campaign. In the time since Ascension, Sony Santa Monica’s been hit hard with layoffs, though the company’s reportedly remained dedicated to making more games still, including this remaster, apparently.
Tell us in the comments below: are you excited about picking up Kratos’s Blades of Chaos again?
