Santa Monica Studio has announced that the new adventure set in the God of War universe will arrive on PlayStation 5 il 20 maggio 2027, instead of the originally scheduled 16 February. A delay of about three months will allow the developers to dedicate additional time to refining the project. Through an official communication, the team explained that the decision stems from the desire to deliver an experience meeting expectations, thanking players for their support since the announcement. No particular production issues have been reported, while further updates are expected in the coming months.
Presented during the State of Play June 2026, God of War: Laufey will place players in the role of Faye, Kratos’s wife and Atreus’s mother, delving into one of the saga’s most enigmatic characters. The story will follow the protagonist through an otherworldly dimension called Everywhen, where she must confront new threats to protect her family’s future. The title will offer an action-adventure experience in third person, featuring a combat system built around Faye’s abilities and a distinct style compared to Kratos’s. The project will also help expand the series’ narrative universe, paving the way for its future developments.
God of War: Laufey will debut on 20 May 2027 exclusively on PS5. To discover further details on the gameplay and new features introduced by Santa Monica Studio, you’ll have to wait for the next official announcements
