Overview
- Santa Monica Studio announced at San Diego Comic‑Con on Saturday that God of War: Laufey will launch exclusively for PlayStation 5 on February 16, 2027 and will be sold on a physical disc.
- The game stars Laufey (Faye) as the playable lead who awakens in the gods’ afterlife called the Everywhen and must fight fallen deities to protect Kratos and Atreus.
- Cory Barlog, Santa Monica’s head of creative, said the studio views Laufey as a continuation of the series and confirmed a separate, Kratos‑starring mainline God of War is already in development that will follow and connect directly to Laufey.
- The cast revealed at the panel includes Deborah Ann Woll as Laufey, Jack Quaid as the cube‑like character Phranque, and Christopher Judge returning as Kratos in at least a supporting role within Laufey’s story.
- Laufey’s mid‑February launch places it in a crowded AAA release window that could affect sales timing and visibility, and it arrives before Sony ends production of new physical PlayStation discs in January 2028.
