## Summary

Sony Santa Monica has delayed God of War Laufey by three months, moving its release from 16 February to 20 May 2027. The studio says it needs more time to finish the game and fulfil its ambition, making the change notable for players awaiting the first mainline God of War led by someone other than Kratos.

The game stars Faye, Kratos’s Norse wife and Atreus’s mother, and follows her journey after her funeral. Its story sees her awaken in a strange land called the Everywhen, where she must confront mythological gods and dangerous magic to protect her family.
