Upcoming God of War Game to Feature Familiar Protagonist

A new God of War game, diverging from the Kratos narrative, may focus on another familiar character. While Atreus might seem the obvious choice, insider NateTheHate reports that Sony Santa Monica is considering a different direction. According to NateTheHate, the next installment in the God of War universe will center on Laufey, also known as Faye, Kratos’ late wife. As a Jotun with the power of foresight who was also the first to wield the Leviathan Axe, Faye's legacy deeply influences the current God of War storyline, despite her absence from the 2018 and 2022 titles. The new title would explore her history prior to those events. Cory Barlog’s next project may be this God of War prequel, potentially slated for release in late 2026 or early 2027. While plot details remain scarce, sources expect a greater emphasis on action-oriented gameplay. The title is expected to be revealed this summer, with a planned release in the first half of 2027.
