Sony Santa Monica has finally put a date on it. God of War Laufey arrives on PS5 on February 16, 2027, confirmed at the studio's San Diego Comic-Con panel on Friday. February was already a crowded month for releases. It just got heavier.The bigger reveal came off the same stage. Head of creative Cory Barlog said a new Kratos-led God of War is in development, will follow Laufey, and connects directly to what Faye does in her game. No title. No platform. No window. Barlog dropped the tease and moved on, which is about par for a Comic-Con panel.Laufey hands players Kratos' wife as she moves through the Everywhen, the place gods end up after they die.The plans she left behind to protect Kratos and Atreus are coming apart, and she has to cut through a pantheon to hold them together. Barlog was blunt about the intent. "Everything in the game is setting up for something so amazing," he told the panel.Reaction so far has been split. The 20-minute slice Sony aired at June's State of Play opened with Kratos and Atreus burning Faye's body, the scene players know from 2018's God of War.Some liked the combat and the art direction. Others found the opening stretch thin, and a fair few were unhappy that Kratos had been demoted to a cameo.The 2027 date wasn't a shock. Sony had already confirmed a physical disc release for Laufey, which pointed squarely at next year, and that confirmation landed while the company was absorbing backlash over its plan to stop pressing PlayStation discs from 2028.Kratos hasn't been sitting still either. His last mainline outing was 2022's God of War Ragnarök. Sons of Sparta, a prequel co-developed with Mega Cat Studios, shipped earlier this year with a younger version of the character. A remake of the Greek trilogy is also in the pipeline, though Santa Monica says the work is still at an early stage.
