God of War: Laufey
Death was supposed to be the end. Awakening in the Everywhen — the afterlife of the gods — Faye fights to protect the family she left behind.
What is God of War Laufey?
God of War Laufey is the new mainline entry from SIE Santa Monica Studio, revealed at State of Play on June 2, 2026. For the first time, players take control of Kratos' wife, Faye — her true name, Laufey the Just. The story begins immediately after her funeral pyre in 2018's God of War, as she awakens in a mysterious realm known as the Everywhen.
“It is not a prequel and not a spin-off — Cory Barlog calls it 'a continuation of the timeline.'”
