About God of War Laufey

God of War Laufey is the next mainline chapter in Santa Monica Studio's acclaimed God of War series, announced on June 2, 2026, during PlayStation's State of Play. Rather than continuing Kratos' story, this entry follows Faye — the warrior also known as Laufey — on an entirely new adventure that runs parallel to the events of God of War (2018).

The premise is striking: at the very moment Kratos burns Faye's body in the opening scene of God of War 2018, Faye awakens in the Everywhen — a liminal afterlife realm where all gods and magic from every mythology throughout history converge after death. Norse gods, Egyptian deities, and beings from pantheons never seen in the series before all inhabit this space. For Faye, death is not an ending; it's the beginning of her own legend.

The game stars Deborah Ann Woll (Karen Page in Marvel's Daredevil) as Faye, with Jack Quaid voicing Phranque — a sentient cosmic cube who becomes Faye's companion — and Perlina Lau voicing Rue, a sentient ribbon woven into Faye's magical sword. Together they navigate a realm where two powerful villain-gods, Beks and Sekhmet, have established control and threaten everything.

Combat is deliberately different from Kratos. Faye fights with speed, precision, and aerial mastery — chaining combo attacks with both her sword and Rue's ribbon extensions in ways that feel closer to a character-action game than the methodical weight of the Leviathan Axe. The 20-minute gameplay demo confirmed fluid aerial combos and a relentless pace that sets this entry apart from its predecessors.

This God of War Laufey wiki collects every confirmed detail from Santa Monica Studio's official materials: the State of Play announcement trailer, the extended gameplay demo, and the Introducing Faye behind-the-scenes video. Pages are organized by topic — use the section guide above to jump directly to characters, story lore, release information, trailer analysis, or the FAQ.

All information on this wiki is sourced from official PlayStation and Santa Monica Studio materials. The game has not yet been released. Pages covering release date, character details, and the full trailer breakdown are updated as new details are confirmed by Sony.
