Overview
- Sony Santa Monica revealed God of War Laufey during Tuesday’s PlayStation State of Play with an extended 20–23 minute gameplay showcase.
- The story begins after Faye’s funeral as she awakens in the Everywhen, a gods’ afterlife where deities from multiple mythologies clash and her plans to protect Kratos and Atreus are threatened.
- Santa Monica reworked combat around Faye’s speed and mobility, adding double jumps, aerial combos and a soul‑manipulation mechanic that lets players separate and use enemy souls in combat.
- The reveal confirmed Deborah Ann Woll as Faye, Jack Quaid as Phranque, Perlina Lau as Rue, and Ariel Lawrence as director; the game is listed for PS5 and available to wishlist but has no release date.
- God of War Laufey is one of several Santa Monica projects in development, a move that expands the franchise’s scope and could broaden its mythological reach and media presence.
