Publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment and developer Santa Monica Studio during a panel at San Diego Comic-Con announced God of War Laufey will launch for the PlayStation 5 on February 16, 2027.
Santa Monica Studio head of creative Cory Barlog also announced the next Kratos-led God of War game is in development and will launch after God of War Laufey. It will connect directly with Laufey's story.
Read details on the game below:
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 death, Faye discovers the plans she put in place to protect Kratos and Atreus in her absence 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.
Harness Faye's speed, control and relentlessness to overwhelm even the fiercest of foes with decisive, deadly precision.
Who is Laufey?
Guardian of the Jötnar, rebel leader against the oppressive Aesir gods, and lone protector of the Wildwoods – Laufey is a warrior whose battle prowess was legendary even among the Giants.
God of War Laufey expands the God of War universe, shedding light on a character whose story has long remained untold.

With all due respect...why wait? This game is looking amazing!! Likely GoTY material!!
Maybe Ill check it out when its cheaper. Not feeling this one atm.
We already got many Kratos games. Yawn.
Well now you can play as his dead wife. Have fun!
Sounds very interesting! I will!
Ooh! Thats actually surprising and definitely sooner than i anticipated! Super excited to get my hands on it and keeping my eyes peeled for info on the Kratos one.
Definitely picking it up asap, looks incredible.
Hope the greek saga remake and the next one are on discs too like Laufey, but it sounds incredibly unlike at least for the new game announced.
Iam sooo burned out with the same gamss over and over and over again..
Luckily, this is a new game. It's never been released before.
Yea with the same look and feel and same gameplay xd
Cinematic over the shoulder done 1000times before.
Tomb Raider - February 15th
Laufey - February 16th
Persona 4 Revival - February 18th
Fable - February 23rd
February is looking fucking insane! Super strong month! Imho, Laufey and Fable likely GoTY material.
Definitely a great month for PS5 users.
Little early to announce a Kratos game will follow this. Me thinks that's Sony trying to stimulate sales.
GoW Rag finished in 2022? Plus DLC later, 4 years dev time plus some, make sense.
Its actually on the shorter side for modern Dev time, especially as Santa Monica is still relatively small.
"Short side", sadly true. Man, I miss the 7th gen when we'd get entire trilogies in 6 years.
