God of War Sons of Sparta PS4 Port Leaked as CUSA57767 Database ID Surfaces on PlayStation Network
Originally shadow-dropped on February 12, 2026 during State of Play as a PlayStation 5 console exclusive, God of War: Sons of Sparta appears set to expand to last-generation hardware. A newly discovered backend entry on the PlayStation Network servers indicates that Sony Interactive Entertainment is preparing a native PlayStation 4 version of the 2D spin-off.
PlayStation Game Size Uncovers CUSA57767 Title ID and PS4 Splash Art
The leak comes courtesy of reliable PlayStation Store backend tracker PlayStation Game Size, who extracted the official PS4 launch splash screen alongside its internal database string: UP9000-CUSA57767_00-SONSOFSPARTAPS40.
Within Sony's store architecture, the CUSA57767 product code and PS40 suffix specifically denote a native PlayStation 4 package, mirroring the existing PS5 release listed under UP9000-PPSA28997_00-SONSOFSPARTAPS50. While Sony recently introduced a dedicated PlayStation Exclusive badge on the PlayStation Store to keep its marquee single-player titles off PC, bringing this smaller-scale title to PS4 keeps the game strictly inside the PlayStation hardware family.
A 2D Pixel-Art Metroidvania Prequel Built for PS4 Hardware
Co-developed by pixel-art specialists Mega Cat Studios in partnership with Santa Monica Studio, the $29.99 Standard Edition ($39.99 Digital Deluxe) departs from the over-the-shoulder 3D combat of the Norse saga. Instead, it delivers a 2D side-scrolling action-platformer with Metroidvania exploration, playable either solo or in two-player local couch co-op alongside its post-game roguelike arena mode, The Pit.
Serving as the earliest chronological entry in the entire franchise, the story follows a young Kratos and his brother Deimos enduring the brutal Spartan Agoge training regime. When a fellow cadet vanishes, the brothers journey across Laconia armed with spear, shield, and divine artifacts known as the Gifts of Olympus. The framing narrative features an older Kratos recounting the tale to his daughter Calliope, marking the celebrated return of original Greek-era voice actor TC Carson alongside a score by composer Bear McCreary.
Given its lightweight 2D pixel-art presentation, skipping the massive PS4 install base at launch had puzzled many longtime fans. With mainline entry God of War Laufey recently delayed to May 20, 2027 on PS5, an official PS4 release of Sons of Sparta will give millions of last-gen console owners a new Greek-era chapter to play while awaiting word on whether Sony will support free Cross-Buy upgrades.
