Santa Monica Studio says the Faye-led game will serve as a narrative bridge that expands the series and sets up a directly connected Kratos-led follow-up.

Overview

  • Santa Monica Studio announced the Feb. 16, 2027 release date for God of War: Laufey during its San Diego Comic‑Con panel on Saturday, July 25, 2026.
  • Laufey puts players in control of Faye (Laufey the Just) as she awakens in the gods’ afterlife called the Everywhen to protect Kratos and Atreus, and the cast includes Deborah Ann Woll as Faye and Jack Quaid as the cube‑like character Phranque.
  • The game will launch exclusively on PlayStation 5 and will be available on a physical disc, a decision observers link to Sony’s announced end of new PlayStation disc production in January 2028.
  • Cory Barlog confirmed a separate Kratos‑led God of War is in development that will follow Laufey and tie directly into its events, though no release window or platform details were given.
  • Santa Monica now has several God of War projects active and Laufey’s February 2027 date places it in a crowded month of major releases, a scheduling pressure that could affect marketing, sales timing, and player attention.
