Along with this, there are also split-based timers, a persistent scoreboard, and other features that players who like speedrunning will enjoy. Hermes Mode can be unlocked by beating the game for the first time or by entering this code in the game\u2019s start menu: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, L1, R1, Touchpad.<\/p>\n<p>Details about Erebus Mode are sparse aside from the fact that players will die in a single hit. A quick look at the provided screenshot also indicates that it will display a death counter, allowing players to keep track of how many times they have been hit throughout their run. Both Erebus Mode and Hermes Mode can be enabled when starting a new game during save slot selection.<\/p>\n<p> <a class=\"echo_read_more\" href=\"https:\/\/gamingbolt.com\/god-of-war-sons-of-sparta-is-coming-to-ps4-with-new-speedrun-and-difficulty-modes-on-november-16th\" target=\"_blank\">\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0More Info >>><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sony and Santa Monica Studio have announced that the side-scrolling Metroidvania game God of War Sons of Sparta is making its way to PS4 on November 16th.
