Overview
- Sony and Santa Monica Studio announced God of War: Laufey at PlayStation’s State of Play on Wednesday, releasing a cinematic trailer and a roughly 20‑minute gameplay demo.
- The title makes Faye (Laufey) the playable protagonist as she awakens in the Everywhen, a metaphysical afterlife where she must defend plans she left for Kratos and Atreus.
- Santa Monica Studio confirmed the Everywhen will mix pantheons and named at least two non‑Norse deities, Sekhmet from Egyptian myth and Begtse from Tibetan/Mongolian tradition.
- Developers say combat has been redesigned for speed and aerial combos, combining Greek‑era mobility with Nordic‑era camera and weight, and adding soul‑manipulation powers called the Mano Dorada and a legendary sword.
- Deborah Ann Woll voices Laufey and the cast includes Jack Quaid as Phranque and Perlina Lau as Rue; the game is in active development for PlayStation 5 with no release window announced.
