The next major part of “God of War” will focus on Kratos’s wife in the afterlife realm of gods—a 23-minute gameplay segment and first details about the game God of War Laufey

News from Santa Monica Studio (Sony)

In June at the official State of Play presentation, developers revealed details about another project in the fantasy slasher series God of War.

What’s new?
- Title: *God of War Laufey*.
- Protagonist: Faye – Kratos’ wife.
- Story: Instead of the usual Spartan epic, the game takes us to the afterlife of the gods — *Everywhen*. Faye tries to protect her husband and son from an impending threat, but her plans are under attack. To save them, the heroine must navigate a conflict between gods of different mythologies tearing this world apart.

Demo
- Length: 23 minutes.
- Showcased: locations, combat mechanics, characters, cinematic intros, and scripted scenes.

Combat system
Developers said that *Laufey* will combine:
- Lethality and power,
- Fluid movements,
- Modern elements from the Scandinavian saga,
- Classic mechanics of the ancient Greek era.

Faye gains increased mobility compared to Kratos, and her primary weapon is a talking sword. Additionally, the game features “giant magic,” allowing her to literally pull spirits out of enemies.

Technical details
- Exclusive for PS5 (playthrough recorded on PS5 Pro).
- Release date not announced yet.

Santa Monica Studio is also working on a remake of the Greek trilogy *God of War* for Sony’s new console.
