God of War Laufey was revealed at State of Play in June with a 20-minute gameplay showcase.

Next Kratos God of War Game Confirmed

Additionally, at Comic-Con, Barlog, who directed the 2018 God of War reboot, confirmed that a new God of War game starring Kratos was in development at Santa Monica Studio, as well. The Santa Monica creative head did not share any details about the game, but said that it would directly connect with the narrative of God of War Laufey. Speaking during the panel, Barlog said the God of War franchise was going in “amazing directions.”

It's unclear when the God of War game starring Kratos will launch. More details should be available when Sony officially reveals the game.

God of War Laufey will be the first mainline God of War game which doesn't have Kratos as the protagonist. The game instead follows the journey of its titular protagonist, Laufey, into Everywhen, the afterlife of the gods, after her death in God of War (2018). The game will feature a new setting, an afterlife realm featuring gods from different mythologies.

Deborah Ann Woll plays Laufey, while Jack Quaid voices Phranque, the magical companion cube in the game. God of War Laufey is being directed by Ariel Lawrence. The game will launch exclusively on PS5 on February 16, 2027.
