God Of War: Laufey Launches February 16, 2027; New Kratos Game Confirmed
Santa Monica Studio has confirmed that God of War: Laufey will launch exclusively for PS5 on February 16, 2027. The date was announced during the game’s panel at San Diego Comic-Con, where the studio also reaffirmed that it will be available physically.
The announcement confirms previous reports that Laufey was targeting February or March. If you somehow missed its reveal, God of War: Laufey shifts the spotlight away from Kratos and onto his late wife, Faye, as she explores the Everywhen, a strange afterlife populated by gods and creatures drawn from multiple mythologies. In this case, that includes a talking jelly-cube.

AdvertisementsFebruary is already looking brutally busy. Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis launches on February 12, just four days before Laufey, while Persona 4 Revival arrives two days later on February 18. Fable follows on February 23, while Metro 2039 is also currently scheduled for sometime during the month. Apparently, February has grown tired of September getting all the attention and has decided to become an overcrowded nightmare as well.
The panel also confirmed that another God of War starring Kratos is in development and will connect directly to the events of Laufey. No title, release window or platforms were announced, although previous reports have suggested Kratos’ next adventure could take him to Egypt.
Still, confirmation that Kratos will return isn’t exactly shocking. Another game starring gaming’s angriest dad was about as inevitable as Kratos losing his temper the moment a god looks at him slightly funny. The more interesting part is that Laufey appears to be actively setting up whatever comes next, rather than being a disconnected spin-off.

I'm kinda glad that #GodOfWarLaufey is today the center of the #WarOnWoke movement.
If they called it just "Laufey", nobody would have been so angry at the game and how was it presented.

"Why Faye looks like being on her fifties?"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VL3ow_cfEMw
Agree. You have a killer actress with great looks at 41, and her 3D model looks post-menopausic at 58

Well, I can guess that being married with Kratos sucks the life out of your face.

God of War: Laufey Revealed, Stars Faye In A New Adventure From Santa Monica Studio
Sony closed out its June State of Play showcase with the reveal of God of War: Laufey, a brand-new entry in the long-running action series that shifts the spotlight away from Kratos and onto his late wife, Faye, who is being played by actress Deborah Ann Woll.
The game was previously leaked ahead of the event, but Sony finally made it official with an extended gameplay demonstration lasting roughly twenty minutes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLMX2w3cwuE&t=26s
AdvertisementsWhile Kratos did pop up a few times, he isn’t the focus, which will be a hard pill for some fans to swallow. Instead, players take control of Faye, whose full name is Laufey, as she embarks on a new journey through a strange realm inhabited by gods, monsters and other mysterious beings. This new location is some sort of afterlife for the gods called the Everwhen, which explains the melting pot of mythologies and styles that we see, including Asian and Mayan/Aztec influences.
“The Everywhen is the birthplace and endpoint to which all magic returns, a transcendent realm above those we’ve come to know. A location in which gods and creatures from different mythologies come together, and not always in harmonious coexistence.”
The showcase opened with a flashback to the beginning of 2018’s God of War before transitioning into the new adventure. Faye quickly finds herself separated from her powers and forced to uncover the truth behind her situation while searching for a way home.
From a gameplay perspective, God of War: Laufey appears noticeably different from Kratos’ recent adventures. Faye is far more agile, capable of double jumps, rapid aerial movement and juggling enemies with lengthy combo strings. Combat looks faster and more stylish overall, with some sequences resembling character action games such as Devil May Cry more than the heavier, weightier combat of God of War and God of War Ragnarök.
The footage also showcased several magical abilities, including an attack that tears the soul from an enemy’s body and leaves it suspended in the air by a glowing tether. Faye can then follow up with additional attacks while enemies are vulnerable.
One of the more unusual additions is a talking companion named Phranque. Despite being a cube rather than an actual character, Phranque actively participates in combat, smashing into enemies and even helping extend combo chains. Faye can kick enemies toward him, allowing the pair to perform team-up attacks.
Did I mention Phranque is a gelatinous cube? He’s a gelatinous cube. Called Phranque. Pronounced Frank. Who can talk. It gets weirder, too, because there are talking ribbons called Rue attached to a strange sword. The trailer address the sword a few times, including one demon stating that it’s more than Faye realises.
The demonstration concluded with a large-scale boss battle against a towering demon-like creature, complete with cinematic set pieces and the sort of spectacle fans have come to expect from Santa Monica Studio.
No release date was announced.
God of War: Laufey was easily one of the biggest announcements of the evening and marks the first time the series has fully shifted its focus away from Kratos in a mainline-style adventure. There’s only one question remaining: are fans interested in a God of War game without Kratos?

I guess I should also call out that my studio revealed something too. Some free DLC for #GodOfWarRagnarok! I don't remember what details are public, so I'll just say that my coworkers are phenomenally skilled and hardworking and that'll absolutely come through when you play this.

In the light of all the recent #gamedev #layoffs, I re-boosted my post from back in January about #jobs at #SonySantaMonica.
https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@ElysianThus/109718295089316182
We currently have 29(!) openings.
All the info is basically the same. Still remote friendly, still not a weird cult. Only thing that's different is some of the openings I called out in my followup comment have changed.
Feel free to reach out to me if you have questions about the studio or want me to forward you to a recruiter.

Sony Santa Monica didn’t have to do what they did with the Negro League mode in MLB The Show 23!
As someone who doesn’t care much about baseball, I will be playing that mode to completion because it is so full of knowledge and just wonderful stories about the sport’s best players!

To any #gamedev or #programmer who's been affected by the recent #layoffs and is #lookingforwork, here's my pitch for #SonySantaMonica.
1. #remotework allowed for most positions.
2. No mandated crunch for God of War:Ragnarok*.
3. Coworkers and leadership care about helping you grow
4. not a weird cult, you can clock out after 8 hours and go spend time with your family*(as far as I know, so 100% sure for programming, less sure for other disciplines)
Our openings:
