Of course something like this would be great, but it sounds like a lot of work for years of development. 

And betrayal would naturally grow in scope to at least match COO. There's no way the remake is 1:1 for that. 

Still I'm excited to see what this spin off is going to be

From what we saw in Valhalla, it's pretty clear they are working on high quality assets for the Greek saga enemies and environments.

Based on that, choosing to use them to a spin off, 12 years after the last game or 15 years after 3 and not to rework the actual games to bring them back to consumers memory is just... a really bad decision, specially if the old games get a simple port and still look like PS2 and PSP games later on.

FF7 is getting 3 Remakes, and God of War games nowdays sell at least 2 to 3 times more than Final Fantasy does.

Making that kind of high quality remakes instead is a way better use of the Greek era, and would be great to keep up the massive respect the franchise have.

I don't see why that could not be the case here, instead of wasting those resources into a spin off from that era instead.

I can only see 2 possible outcomes of such a spin off:

1. One being an Atreus game about him going there, what would be a horrible decision, IMO;

2. And the other being something to connect the past saga to a new coming saga, as we didn't get to see Athena during Ragnarok, and I'm sure she will be extremely important to link the primordial times with the fissure Odin was researching to move the series foward. Which IMO needs to be a major plot point into a future mainline game, not an spin off.

So it really puzzles me why bring back the Greek story with a spin off nowdays, meanwhile making such remakes would be something amazing.

I'm looking foward to news but I really hope it's not a spin off and would be very displeased if they make it an Atreus game.

I don't think there's nearly enough evidence to support the asset creation for a full-remake of just 1 of the Greek games, let alone all 6 of them. The assets visible in Valhalla wouldn't even cover half of the environments in Betrayal, and that's the smallest of all the Greek titles. Even if they were looking at a remake of 1, consider how much bigger in scope and locales GoW2 is. 

If anything, a remake of Betrayal or a spin-off title for Greece makes more sense in establishing more of the assets to be used for the Greek saga. Then, when combined with some stuff from Ragnarok, they could more easily get these potential remakes done. 

If anything, your 2 possible outcomes are very likely the same thing: a spin-off with Atreus exploring Greece centuries after Kratos left it (Ragnarok timeline), seeing how it's redeveloped and coming face-to-face with Athena to learn more about mask/ fissure w/ Odin. Because, this is an Atreus plotline, not a Kratos one.

But that said, apparently this spin-off involves Kratos. So, my hope is still a betrayal remake. But i'll take whatever GoW comes next, for the most part.
