Explained simply
God of War is a long-running action video game series that has primarily focused on the character Kratos. The upcoming entry, Laufey, shifts the perspective to his wife, Faye, as the playable protagonist, whilst the series maintains its action-focused gameplay. The developer has confirmed that future games will return to Kratos's perspective.
Faye is a character from earlier God of War games who now awakens in the Everywhen, a mythological realm where gods from different cultures exist. In this setting, she fights to protect Kratos and their son Atreus. Her combat capabilities emphasise speed and airborne movement, blended with sword techniques and magic powers that affect enemies' spiritual forms.
God of War: Laufey launches on PS5 on 16 February 2027. The game is developed by Sony Santa Monica Studios under director Ariel Lawrence, with a cast including Deborah Ann Woll as Faye.
