Question 1

What is God of War: Laufey?

Accepted Answer

A mainline God of War action-adventure for PS5 from Santa Monica Studio, announced June 2026. For the first time you play as Faye (Laufey), Kratos's wife, after she wakes in the Everywhen — the afterlife of the gods.

Question 2

Is it out yet, and when does it release?

Accepted Answer

Not yet. It was revealed at State of Play in June 2026 and is "Coming Soon" for PS5, with no official release date. The "2027" estimate going around is a press guess, not a confirmed date.

Question 3

Is God of War: Laufey a prequel?

Accepted Answer

No. Cory Barlog calls it "a continuation of the timeline" that begins the moment Faye's body burns on the funeral pyre at the start of God of War (2018) — a mainline entry with a new protagonist, not a prequel and not a spin-off.
