When Is the God of War Laufey Release Date?
God of War Laufey will officially launch on February 16, 2027, exclusively for PlayStation 5. Developer Santa Monica Studio announced the release window during a panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2026 alongside key creative leads and cast members, later confirming the date via social media.

Kratos Returning in Direct Sequel Following Faye’s Story
During the Comic-Con panel, Santa Monica Studio creative director Cory Barlog addressed the future of the series’ traditional protagonist. Barlog confirmed that another Kratos-led God of War game is actively in development and will build upon the narrative foundations laid in Laufey.
Speaking on the connection between the projects in coverage from IGN, Barlog explained that the events of Faye’s journey serve as a direct setup for what comes next in the overarching storyline.
While Santa Monica Studio did not share a timeline or target platform for the next Kratos title, the team emphasized that stories centered on Kratos remain a permanent fixture of the franchise.
In today's Fix, God of War Laufey's release date has been announced, Tomb Raider: Catalyst has been delayed to 2028, and a trip to Super Nintendo World at Universal Orlando Resort’s Universal Epic Universe to take a look at Mine Cart Madness.

Exploring The Everywhen and Faye’s Narrative Role
God of War Laufey shifts focus to Laufey (Faye), played by Deborah Ann Woll, exploring events linked to her passing prior to the 2018 game.
The campaign takes place in The Everywhen, an afterlife domain where deities from various mythologies—including the Egyptian goddess Sekhmet and the Mongolian god Begtse—fight for control.
According to the official PlayStation Blog update, Faye must navigate this hostile environment to protect the plans she prepared for Kratos and Atreus. Faye is joined by two new companions: Phranque, a sentient cube voiced by Jack Quaid, and Rue, a guardian voiced by Perlina Lau.
