Sony Santa Monica has announced “God of War Laufey,” the next mainline entry in the God of War series. Multiple outlets report that the game shifts the central playable role to Kratos’ wife, Faye, rather than Kratos himself. The story is described as taking place in an afterlife-style realm populated by dead deities, positioning Faye as she navigates the aftermath of mythic conflicts.
Digital Trends highlights that the game places Faye “in action mode” around deceased gods and points to faster combat, suggesting gameplay changes aimed at a more immediate, action-focused experience. TechRadar similarly frames the announcement around Faye’s return as the protagonist, noting her character’s placement in the new game’s narrative premise. Both sources emphasize that Laufey is presented as a forthcoming title from Sony Santa Monica within the core God of War franchise, with Faye’s perspective and abilities at the center of the experience.
Neither outlet provides release timing details in the provided excerpts.
