## Summary

Santa Monica Studio has confirmed that another God of War game starring Kratos is in development and will follow God of War Laufey. The announcement establishes Kratos’ continued central role in the series after Faye’s standalone adventure, although no release date, setting or detailed story information has been announced.

Creative head Cory Barlog said the new Kratos game will directly connect to the events of Laufey, which launches for PlayStation 5 on 16 February 2027. Laufey follows Faye through the gods’ afterlife, the Everywhen, as threats emerge to her plans to protect Kratos and Atreus; hints in its premise suggest future games may explore mythologies beyond the franchise’s Greek and Norse settings.
