Sony has announced that the God of War Collection has gone gold and will be available for the PS3 across North America on the 17th of November.

The God of War Collection includes both God of War and God of War II in HD on a single Blu-ray disc. Of course the new HD versions will also include lots of trophies. God of War III Design Director Todd Papy explains: “Other than all the visual improvements that we added to the God of War Collection, the most exciting part for me was the opportunity to go back and add in full trophy support for both games.”

“Not only will the trophies hopefully be an enjoyable way to check your progress through the game, but they will also give the hard-core God of War fans some serious additional bragging rights. And on a more personal level, the trophies were a really great opportunity for us to share some of our stories and inside jokes from God of War and God of War II.”

For more insight into how Sony picked the trophies as well as a full list of the bronze, silver, gold and platinum trophies to win in God of War and God of War II, head over to SCEA’s PlayStation Blog.
