Summary
Sony announced that the new God of War game, focusing on Kratos’ wife Laufey, will be released exclusively for PlayStation 5 on February 16, 2027.

Sony announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2026 that the new God of War game, God of War Laufey, will be released on February 16, 2027, exclusively for PlayStation 5. This installment breaks from tradition by focusing on Kratos’s wife, Laufey, instead of Kratos himself. The game begins after Laufey’s death (as seen in God of War Ragnarök) and follows her journey as she fights to safeguard her family’s future from a dangerous afterlife.
The latest adventure takes players to the Everywhen, a vast and otherworldly afterlife where powerful gods from different myths are locked in a struggle for control. The official PlayStation Store description reveals that this game focuses on Faye, exploring her previously unknown past as the Guardian of the Jötnar – a brave leader who fought against the powerful Aesir gods and protected the Wildwoods. This time, instead of focusing on the father-son relationship that was central to the recent games, players will experience a thrilling story about a mother’s fight to keep Kratos and Atreus safe.
Early looks at the gameplay show a big difference in how Kratos and Faye fight. Kratos relies on powerful, close-range attacks, while Faye is fast, nimble, and deadly. During a presentation at San Diego Comic-Con, the game’s director, Ariel Lawrence, and creative head, Cory Barlog, highlighted Faye’s skills, including her incredible speed, constant aerial attacks, and powerful magic. She quickly defeats enemies with precision, using the natural strength of the Giants. Players will encounter new mythological creatures and gods they haven’t seen in previous games.
At Comic-Con, fans got a look at the voice actors for the upcoming God of War content, including returning favorites Deborah Ann Woll as Laufey and Christopher Judge as Kratos, as well as new cast members Jack Quaid and Perlina Lau. The developers discussed how Faye’s solo adventure will play out and shared big news about the future of the God of War universe. Santa Monica Studio confirmed they are officially planning another game starring Kratos, which will be released after 2027 and will continue the story begun in Faye’s journey after her death.
