Santa Monica Studio has released a new update for God of War: Sons of Sparta, the side-scrolling action-adventure game developed in collaboration with Mega Cat Studios. Launched on February 12, 2026, as a PlayStation 5 exclusive, the game has been updated in response to player feedback regarding access to in-game content. Update 1.04 addresses the two-player roguelike experience, “Trials of Fate,” which is now accessible directly from the main menu. Previously, players had to complete the main campaign, requiring approximately 25–30 hours of gameplay, to unlock this cooperative feature. This requirement led to frustration, especially for players who purchased the game specifically to play it with friends upon release. Now, upon starting the game, a spoiler warning alerts players that “Trials of Fate” contains advanced narrative elements, but the choice to proceed remains with the player. Designed for two players, “Trials of Fate” evolves the gameplay introduced in God of War Ragnarök’s “Valhalla” DLC. Players choose between Kratos and Atreus (as well as unlockable variants) and fight through procedurally generated arenas, where character synergy is essential for surviving waves of enemies.

God of War Sons of Sparta Update Enhances Co-op Stability & Resolves Runic Attack Latency Issues

This update also improves cooperative session stability. Santa Monica Studio has optimized network code and corrected collision errors that occurred when both players used runic attacks simultaneously, resolving latency and disconnection issues reported during battles against new bosses.
