A 2027 release date was expected for God of War Laufey after Sony Santa Monica confirmed it would ship on-disc. The announcement came after Sony said it would stop production of PlayStation discs from 2028, sparking a backlash.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">At the same panel, Santa Monica Studio head of creative Cory Barlog announced that the next Kratos-led God of War game is coming after God of War Laufey, and connects directly to her story.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-slideshow\"><button type=\"button\" style=\"display:none\" class=\"jsx-2228525885\"\/><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">God Of War Laufey Reveal <\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img alt=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\" decoding=\"async\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2896921488 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><span class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button button--primary jsx-3027214138 jsx-4266531355 row-pagination-button next contained centered round large\" data-cy=\"paginate next\" title=\"Open Slideshow\"><span class=\"ign-icon right-chevron jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"right-chevron\" style=\"mask:url(https:\/\/kraken.ignimgs.com\/_next\/static\/media\/RightChevron.272be43c.svg?cors=1) no-repeat center center \/ contain;background:currentColor\"\/><\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/output><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Early reaction to God of War Laufey has been mixed, with some fans praising the game&#8217;s combat and visuals, while others have criticized the simplistic gameplay seen in Laufey&#8217;s opening section \u2014 and, predictably, the fact that fan-favorite Kratos wasn&#8217;t center stage. (We\u2019ve got an explainer on Faye herself for more on her story.)<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Our first glimpse at God of War Laufey, seen in a 20-minute gameplay segment aired at the end of June&#8217;s PlayStation State of Play showcase, began with Kratos and Atreus burning Faye&#8217;s body \u2014 as seen in 2018&#8217;s God of War. Kratos then pops up again shortly after, aiding Faye while she&#8217;s briefly imprisoned. It remains unclear if Kratos will make any other appearances before Laufey&#8217;s credits roll, or if these brief glimpses of the hero are it, as he&#8217;s then busy with the events of God of War Ragnar\u00f6k.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Wesley is Director, News at IGN.
