God of War Laufey slated for 2027 release on PlayStation 5

Industry leaks suggest that Santa Monica Studio’s next installment in the God of War franchise, titled Laufey, is planned for a 2027 launch on PlayStation 5. Sources including Nate the Hate and journalist Jason Schreier point to a likely spring window, with March‑April 2027 being the most plausible based on the studio’s historic release pattern.

The game will shift focus to Faye, Kratos’s wife, placing her at the centre of a new narrative that pits her against fallen deities. Development remains exclusive to Sony’s console, and analysts note typical AAA timelines of 2‑5 years, making a 2027 debut consistent with the five‑year gap since the 2018 title. Potential delays could arise from studio re‑organisations, engine changes or broader market considerations, but no official confirmation has been issued.
