Kratos is hoping to cause carnage on a PlayStation Vita near you. Way back at GamesCom in August, Sony announced that the God of War Collection would be ripping the platform holder’s flagship handheld to pieces – but details have remained scanter than the abovementioned anti-hero’s non-existent patience. Fortunately, the fine folks over at IGN have uncovered an ESRB rating for the release, indicating that it’s very much on its way.

Unsurprisingly, the collection of PlayStation 2 classics obtained an ‘M for Mature’ rating, with the documentation referencing “blood and gore, intense violence, nudity, sexual content, and strong language” as the reasons behind the classification. The registration was submitted on 2nd December, suggesting that hopefully an early 2014 release is on the cards. Of course, Sony filed a similar paper for a Vita version of the Sly Cooper Collection eons ago, and that’s still yet to emerge.

Would you be tempted to replay Sony Santa Monica’s first two slaughter-‘em-ups again, or have you had your fill of gaming’s least popular skinhead? Are there any high-definition remakes that you’d particularly like to see make the jump to the Japanese giant’s diminutive device, or would you rather just play original content?
