Santa Monica Studio has confirmed God of War: Laufey launches on 16 February 2027 exclusively on PS5 — the highlight from the studio’s packed panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2026, which also brought the game’s full voice cast on stage together for the first time and a Cory Barlog confirmation that a separate Kratos-led sequel is already in development.
The game was first revealed at PlayStation’s State of Play on 2 June 2026, when a 20-minute gameplay trailer introduced Faye as the new playable protagonist. Today’s SDCC panel filled in the details that matter: a firm date, the full cast, and confirmation of what comes next for the franchise.
Play as Faye — A Different Kind of God of War
God of War: Laufey puts you in control of Faye (voiced by Deborah Ann Woll), Kratos’s Norse wife who unexpectedly awakens in the Everywhen — the afterlife of the gods — following her funeral. Something has put the carefully laid plans she made for Kratos and Atreus at risk, and she must fight through a realm where ruthless deities from every mythology compete for power.
Gameplay builds on the framework of God of War Ragnarök but centres on Faye’s speed and precision rather than Kratos’s raw force. She wields a legendary sword and channels soul energy as the Golden Hand of the Jötnar. Game Director Ariel Lawrence has described the combat as blending the mobility of the Greek-era games with the world depth of the Norse chapters — a distinct identity rather than a cosmetic reskin.
Full Voice Cast Revealed at SDCC 2026
The SDCC panel brought the principal cast together with Cory Barlog and Ariel Lawrence — the first public ensemble appearance for the game. Two new companions join Faye in the Everywhen:
- Phranque, a cosmic cube entity, voiced by Jack Quaid (The Boys, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds)
- Rue, an enchanted ribbon guardian, voiced by Perlina Lau
- Kratos returns in a supporting role, still voiced by Chris Judge
The Everywhen itself is populated by gods and monsters drawn from mythologies beyond the Norse realm — expect deities from traditions Singapore players won’t have encountered in previous entries.
Cory Barlog Confirms a Kratos Sequel Is Coming
The single biggest reveal from the SDCC panel wasn’t the release date — it was Barlog publicly confirming that a separate, Kratos-led God of War is in active development at Santa Monica Studio and will follow directly from Laufey’s story. As reported by Video Games Chronicle, Barlog said: “Everything we are doing in the Faye game is a continuation of what came before and to set up and expand what comes next.”
No title or window was given for the Kratos follow-up, but the framing makes God of War: Laufey a genuine narrative bridge rather than a side story — the events of this game will directly shape what Kratos faces next.
February 2027 on PS5 — What Singapore Fans Need to Know
The 16 February 2027 date puts God of War: Laufey squarely in the middle of what is already shaping up as a heavy Q1 2027 for PS5. The game is a PS5 exclusive with no PC or Xbox release announced — if you haven’t upgraded yet, this alongside a growing slate of PlayStation exclusives makes the case hard to ignore.
Pricing has not been confirmed, but expect the standard Singapore PS5 first-party price point when Sony announces closer to launch. Physical disc editions will be available — and worth noting: this is among the final wave of major PS5 titles to get a disc release before Sony phases out PS5 disc production in 2028, so collectors may want to plan ahead.
