God of War Laufey: pre-orders open on PS5

God of War Laufey, a new instalment in the God of War series developed by Santa Monica Studio and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, is coming to PS5, and pre-orders are now open. The game combines action, adventure and role-playing, and its main character is no longer Kratos but Faye, his wife.

Players will take control of Laufey, known as Faye, a warrior and the mother of Atreus, who wakes up after her death in the Empyrean, an afterlife where gods from several mythologies fight for power. There she learns that the arrangements she made to protect Kratos and Atreus during her absence are under threat, and she will have to cross this world full of magic to find her family again. Combat will use swords and magic, with a fast and precise heroine, and new characters will join her.

God of War Laufey can be pre-ordered for around £63 on PS5, with a release planned for 20 May 2027. This indicative price was checked at the time of writing and may change.
