Surprise: God Of War Laufey Has A Release Date, And Its Kratos-Led Sequel Has Been Announced

The God of War Laufey release date has been announced and, much like we anticipated, you won’t have to wait too long before you can play Faye’s story.

At San Diego Comic-Con 2026, Sony Santa Monica Studios officially announced that the God of War Laufey release date will be 16 February, 2027.

Game director Cory Barlog also announced that the game will ship with physical discs. That announcement comes just weeks after Sony announced that it would be halting the production of physical discs entirely from 2028.

The release date announcement wasn’t the only surprise, as Barlog also confirmed that the next God of War game will put players back in the boots of Kratos.

According to IGN, he 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. Phranque has been around since the beginning. It’s interesting to see how to build this world out. Everything in the game is setting up for something so amazing.”

While there are many theories about what, or who, Phranque could be, it sounds like we’ll have plenty of time to get familiar with him throughout the future of God of War.

God of War Laufey was originally revealed with 20 minutes of gameplay during a Sony State of Play broadcast in June 2026. The game looked pretty polished then, so it’s unsurprising that its release date is just seven short months away.

It also means that February 2027 is looking pretty stacked now, with God of War Laufey, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, Persona 4 Revival, Fable, and Metro 2039 all slated to release within two weeks of one another.
