God of War Laufey is an upcoming PS5 action-RPG launching February 2027, marking the series' first mainline entry to shift focus away from Kratos. The game will star Faye, Kratos' late wife, with actor Deborah Ann Woll taking the lead role. Santa Monica Studio has confirmed a physical disc release alongside the digital version.
The announcement has generated considerable fan backlash, with some players resistant to the protagonist change. Woll has publicly brushed aside the negative reception, expressing confidence in the game's quality and maintaining distance from social media criticism. Meanwhile, reports suggest Sony anticipated the pushback and implemented stricter social media guidelines in response. The game was showcased at Comic-Con 2026 and Sony's State of Play, where extended gameplay footage was revealed. Development on another mainline God of War featuring Kratos is already in the works for a post-Laufey release.
