God of War: Sons of Sparta will launch on PlayStation 4 on November 16, 2026, according to Game Informer and Gematsu. The free update includes Hermes Mode, a speedrun-focused mode with a split-based timer, and Erebus Mode, which makes the game lethal with one-hit kills.
Developed by Mega Cat Studios and Santa Monica Studio, the 2D action game was initially released for PS5 in February 2026. Players can access Hermes Mode after completing the game or by entering a code, while Erebus Mode requires a completed playthrough to unlock.
