Santa Monica confirms God of War Laufey date and Kratos' return

gamingJul 25, 202654993

God of War Laufey got a firm release date at San Diego Comic-Con: it will launch on PlayStation 5 on February 16, 2027, and is already available to wishlist. The panel also confirmed Santa Monica Studio will follow Laufey with a new Kratos-led God of War that connects directly to Laufey's story. Discussion in the tag centers on Kratos’ return and players preparing by replaying God of War Ragnarok or planning to dive back into the series, while composer Bear McCreary and director Ariel Lawrence highlighted world-building details that fans are citing as reasons to be excited. Posts call the date “earlier than you might think” and emphasize the emotional weight of Kratos returning in the next installment.

September 2026 and February 2027 are absolutely packed and we're all going to die in the avalanche of game releases.

If you're playing this, if it's within your capabilities, buy physical. Make sure you help make the physical version their best seller.

Buy physical games. Cancel your PlayStation Plus. #Sony #Playstation #PS+ #PS5

The only thing I would change is ending the trailer with “Play has Limits” since this’ll probably be the last physically available God of War game.

Will this game be available on physical?

I might give this a try, but Ragnarok really left a sour taste in my mouth. I’d love to see them rebound after that.

And given the declining speed of Sony first party these days we’ll see it in 5-6 years.

I can't wait to get this disc on launch day and put it in..... Oh yeah

Welp too bad it’ll be on a console that’ll cost a minimum of a $1000 without the capability to play physical media

Watch the grifters try to spin this as them winning due to their bitching about having to play as a woman for a single game.

There’s nothing left to tell, it’s so weird how all the major franchises are now just permanently comic books, spinning their wheels forever in hell.

If anyone was wondering if God of War: Laufey is going to be a good game. Yes. Yes it is. I have SEEN some shit that convinces me of the truth of it. I might even buy the other God of War games to get ready for it.
