Deborah Ann Woll says she’s unbothered by criticism of God of War: Laufey

Actress Deborah Ann Woll, who voices the new protagonist Laufey in Sony’s upcoming spin‑off God of War: Laufey, addressed online backlash at a Florida Supercon signing session. She said she expected the misogynistic criticism to affect her more, but “I’m not on social media, so that helps,” and added, “I feel totally unbothered because I just know it’s great. It’s okay if it’s not your cup of tea, but in no universe is it bad.”

Multiple outlets reported the same remarks, emphasizing her confidence in the game’s quality despite polarized reactions to the shift from Kratos to a female lead. Sony’s Santa Monica Studio also confirmed that God of War: Laufey will launch in 2027 with a physical disc edition, ensuring the title reaches stores before Sony’s planned end to disc releases in early 2028.

The comments and release details highlight both the community’s resistance to a new protagonist and the studio’s commitment to the franchise’s continued expansion.
