When does God of War Laufey launch? Santa Monica revealed the Faye-led mainline on June 2, 2026 for PS5 — wishlist live, store date still TBD. Not Ragnarök DLC.
God of War Laufey (Faye in the Everywhen) has no release day. Announced June 2, 2026; PS5 wishlist; physical disc confirmed. Separate from Ragnarök / Valhalla. Ignore invented 2026–27 Fridays until PlayStation prints a window.
When Is God of War Laufey?
No official premiere day is confirmed. Bookmark this page — we add a countdown as soon as a date is announced.
God of War Laufey is real — the ship day is still a blank PS Store field
Santa Monica Studio’s June 2, 2026 reveal finally named the next mainline entry: God of War Laufey. Death was supposed to end Faye’s story; instead she wakes in the Everywhen, where gods from across mythologies clash and the plans she left to protect Kratos and Atreus start to unravel. Deborah Ann Woll returns as Faye, with companions Phranque (Jack Quaid) and Rue (Perlina Lau).
You can wishlist it on PlayStation 5 today. You cannot preload it. “Coming soon” is the only official clock — ignore fan calendars that invent a Fall 2026 or March 2027 Friday.
Confirmed: Faye-led mainline in the Everywhen — not Ragnarök DLC 2
Valhalla closed the Kratos/Atreus epilogue track. Laufey opens a different door: Sekhmet and Begtse as hostile divine faces, soul-striking Golden Hand of the Jötnar combat, Greek-era mobility DNA mixed into Norse-era intimacy. Game director Ariel Lawrence and Cory Barlog framed it as a creative swing that still has to feel like God of War. Pre-order nothing until Sony prints a day; wishlist is not a ship stamp.
From Faye’s funeral to a still-undated Everywhen
- 2018 — God of War reboot; Faye’s death sets the Norse path.
- 2022 — God of War Ragnarök; Valhalla DLC later expands Kratos.
- June 2, 2026 — Official reveal: God of War Laufey; PS5 wishlist live.
- July 2026 — Santa Monica confirms a physical disc edition.
- Jan 2028 — Sony’s stated end of first-party disc publishing (industry fence, not a Laufey date).
- Official ship day / year window — not announced.
How to tell a real Laufey date from afterlife folklore
- Needs PlayStation Blog / Santa Monica / State of Play on the byline.
- Needs a year or quarter on the PS Store product page — “coming soon” is not a Friday.
- Ragnarök / Valhalla discount weeks are old SKUs.
- Disc confirmation ≠ a dated collector pre-order live yet.
- Until those appear, leave the calendar blank.
The sequel stars the character whose funeral opened the 2018 reboot
Most “next God of War” rumors assumed another Kratos odyssey. Santa Monica instead put the Golden Hand of the Jötnar — the wife whose absence haunted two games — in the player’s hands and dropped her into a cross-mythology afterlife Odin only feared in prophecy.
That casting choice is the checkable fact that keeps this page unique. Until Sony stamps a day, the interesting countdown is not “how many months after Ragnarök,” it is whether Faye’s Everywhen ships before PlayStation’s own disc era closes.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about this release date.
1When does God of War Laufey release?
No official day or locked year on the PlayStation Store — listings still read to-be-determined / coming soon. Santa Monica revealed the game on June 2, 2026; wishlist only until a State of Play stamps a window.
2Is this a Kratos sequel after Ragnarök?
It is the next mainline God of War, but the playable lead is Laufey (Faye) — Kratos’s wife — awakening after her funeral in the Everywhen, the afterlife of the gods. It is not Valhalla DLC and not “God of War 6 with another Leviathan Axe campaign for Kratos.”
3Which platforms?
PlayStation 5 for now — the official blog and store wishlist are PS5. PC or multiplat ports are not part of the reveal package.
4Will it be on disc?
Santa Monica confirmed a physical disc release. Sony has said it will stop publishing first-party discs from January 2028, so fans treat that as a soft “before 2028” fence — still not a printed 2027 quarter from PlayStation.
