Sony Santa Monica has announced that God of War Laufey will release on February 16, 2027 for PlayStation 5. In addition, director Cory Barlog has revealed that a new God of War game focused on Kratos is also in development.
God of War Laufey will continue the story of Faye, wife of Kratos and mother of Atreus, as she journeys through the Afterlife of the Gods known as The Everywhen. Recently, Sony Santa Monica announced that God of War Laufey will receive a physical disc release at launch. The announcement comes in the wake of PlayStation announcing that it is ending all physical disc production in January 2028, meaning that all future games released afterwards on PlayStation consoles will release exclusively in digital format. Currently, Sony has not elaborated on the decision or responded to the overwhelming negative feedback as of late.
Cory Barlog confirmed that the new Kratos-led God of War will directly connect to Faye’s story in Laufey. With this announcement, there are now three God of War games in development: God of War Laufey, the remake of the original God of War trilogy, and a new mainline Kratos-led game. Only time will tell when the latter half will release, and if it will even be available on PlayStation 5.
The PlayStation Blog reveals more details about God of War Laufey:
Death was supposed to be the end, but for Laufey (Faye), warrior and wife to Kratos, a new adventure is just beginning. Awakening unexpectedly in a strange land after her funeral, Faye discovers the plans she put in place to protect Kratos and Atreus are now at risk.
To save the ones she loves, Faye must fight through the afterlife of the gods — the Everywhen — where ruthless gods from across mythology vie for power in a land overflowing with dangerous magic.
