It's not every day you get a backwards port.



God of War Sons of Sparta launched on PlayStation 5 back on February 12 of this year. A metroidvania, Sons of Sparta. developed by Mega Cat Studios. wasn't exactly a series highpoint, but it was a decent enough spin-off. Now, in an unusual move, Sony is making the unusual effort to port the game... backwards. To PlayStation 4. That's right, anyone who hasn't upgraded to PS5 will get a chance to play Sons of Sparta starting next week on November 16, 2026.


Besides the game coming to PS4, Sons of Sparta will also be getting two free content additions that will be available in both versions of the game. Here's the rundown:



Hermes Mode is a speed challenge, featuring a "speedrunning toolkit with a split-based timer, persistent scoreboard, and more." You unlock it by beating the game, but if you're itching to try it right away, you can go old school and enter the following code in the start menu:




Erebus Mode is the "ultimate challenge" for players, a one-hit kill scenario where both the player and enemies die from a single blow. It's the ultimate test of Sons of Sparta players.


Both modes will be available to try out next Tuesday, if you're interested.
