God of War‘s Next Chapter

Intimate, brutal combat.

Exploration of a rich, beautiful world.

Story at its heart.

Right from the start, we knew Laufey needed to contain all the core elements that define a God of War game.

Faye has always been a formidable warrior in our story. She and Kratos can both hit hard and take hits, so one of our top priorities throughout the development has been handcrafting a uniquely fresh feel for Faye’s gameplay that will also meet the high expectations fans have for the series.

Combining the movement and fluidity of the Greek era with the Norse era’s approach to world-building and close ties with characters—we’ve crafted an experience that has given our team incredible opportunities to take exciting creative swings, while staying true to the pillars of the God of War series.
