God of War Sons of Sparta PS4 release, Digi Mart USA News: PlayStation has announced that God of War Sons of Sparta, a 2D action platformer, will launch on the PlayStation 4 on November 16 at midnight local time. The game was originally released earlier this year exclusively for the PS5, developed by Mega Cat Studios in collaboration with Santa Monica Studio, and was released the same day it was announced.
According to a post on the PlayStation blog, as reported by Notebookcheck, there is no store listing for the PS4 version yet, so pre-orders are not currently available. The publisher article states the PS4 version is expected to carry the same $29.99 price as the PS5 version, with a Digital Deluxe Edition expected at $39.99.
Alongside the PS4 launch, an update arriving on November 16 for the PS5 and PS4 versions adds two new modes. Hermes Mode is described as a race against the clock with a dedicated speedrunning toolkit, including a split-based timer and persistent scoreboard.
It can be unlocked by beating the game for the first time or by entering a button combination in the start menu when starting a new game.
Erebus Mode, by contrast, is described as a mode in which a single hit is enough to defeat either the player or enemies. It can be selected when starting a new game, but cannot be changed mid-game.
The source article does not provide further details on the update’s content beyond these descriptions.
