Sony and Mega Cat have taken us back to the early days of Kratos for God of War: Sons of the Sparta, a new 2D platformer exploring the youth of him and his brother, Deimos. As a prequel, it goes back further than any installment previously, bringing us deeper into the mind of the eponymous warrior, but that was always the plan.
"Early on, we did think about maybe [making the story] a little bit closer to the events of the Greek saga games that fans are familiar with," Zack Manko, game director at Sons of Sparta developer Mega Cat Studios, told the PlayStation Blog. "I think the writers at [Santa Monica Studio] thought this is what we need to go to, because seeing Kratos as a boy here resonates throughout the rest of the series."
