Santa Monica Studio has pushed back God of War Laufey by three months, moving its release from February 16 to May 20, 2027. The PS5 exclusive will now launch later to allow the team to "push the game to its fullest potential." The studio cited fan enthusiasm and a desire to deliver an extraordinary experience worthy of the series' legacy. The delay also provides breathing room from a crowded early-2027 release slate, including Sony's Until Dawn 2 and the annual MLB The Show title. This shift ensures Sony has a first-party presence in the spring quarter.
In God of War Laufey, players control Faye, who reawakens in the afterlife following her death in the 2018 God of War. Her journey runs parallel to the events of the main series involving Kratos and Atreus. The game also features a talking jelly cube, adding a unique element to the narrative.
