Sony Computer Entertainment announced today a new PS3 offering for the God of War franchise, God of War Collection.

Scheduled for release this holiday season, God of War Collection will feature reworked versions of both God of War and God of War II on a single Blu-ray Disc at 1280 x 720 resolution. Both games, originally developed for PlayStation 2, have been remastered with anti-aliased graphics running at 60 frames per second for the PS3 system.

Additionally, the Blu-ray Disc compilation will bring PlayStation Network trophy support to the franchise for the first time (included for both games). God of War III is not expected to ship until March 2010 at the earliest.

“We are excited today to announce God of War Collection,” said Scott Rohde, vice president, Worldwide Studios America. “Our fans spoke and we listened; thanks to our partnership with Bluepoint Games, fans and newcomers to the series can experience the epic God of War and God of War II saga in stunning 720p on PS3. This Blu-ray Disc compilation brings Kratos to PS3 even earlier than expected.”
