Updated 2026-08-25

God of War Laufey is the next mainline God of War entry.
Faye is the protagonist.
The game is coming to PlayStation 5.
The story takes place in the Everywhen, an afterlife of the gods.
Deborah Ann Woll reprises her role as Faye.
An official release date has not been announced consistently across PlayStation's global pages, so XGW currently lists it as TBA.

Faye Takes the Lead

The game explores Laufey as a warrior, leader and protector of the Jotnar rather than only through the legacy she left behind in the Norse saga.

The Everywhen

Faye awakens in a transcendent realm where gods and creatures from multiple mythologies coexist, including threats such as Sekhmet and Begtse.

Combat and Faye's Powers

Santa Monica Studio is combining modern God of War combat with greater mobility and some classic Greek-era DNA. Faye can fight across the ground and air and use powerful soul-related abilities.

Release Date and Platform

PlayStation confirms God of War Laufey for PS5. Because PlayStation's own regional pages currently conflict on release timing, XGW is keeping the release date listed as TBA until the date is consistently confirmed.
