A new God of War game starring Kratos is already officially in development and “directly connects to the events of the Laufey game”
GamesRadar reports that Sony Santa Monica has officially begun developing another God of War game featuring Kratos. The new title is said to connect directly to the events of a forthcoming game centred on Laufey, suggesting the series will continue its Norse storyline while expanding its focus beyond Kratos.
The report attributes the claim to comments made during a presentation, but provides no release window, platforms, gameplay details or formal title for the Kratos game. Laufey is Kratos’s late wife and Atreus’s mother in the Norse-era games, so a project involving her could add background to the family story established in God of War (2018) and God of War Ragnarök.
In short
- Sony Santa Monica is reportedly developing another Kratos-led God of War game.
- It will reportedly link directly to a Laufey-focused game.
- No title, release date or platform details were announced.
Explained simply
God of War is a video game series centred on Kratos, a warrior protagonist who has lived through multiple mythological eras. In the original games set in ancient Greece, Kratos was a brutal fighter, but the character and series were fundamentally reinvented in recent years to explore a completely different setting and tone.
The 2018 reboot God of War and its sequel Ragnarök moved the series to Norse-inspired mythology, reimagining Kratos as an older, more reflective father figure raising his son Atreus. These games prioritised family relationships and personal history over combat spectacle.
Laufey is Kratos's late wife and Atreus's mother in this era of the series, though she does not appear in the recent games themselves. The character remains significant to the story as an important part of the family dynamic and backstory that anchors the narrative of these modern-era God of War games.
