Sony has pushed God of War Laufey from 16 February to 20 May 2027. Developer Santa Monica Studio announced the delay, saying it needs more time for finishing touches. The game was revealed in June.
Laufey stars Faye, the wife of series hero Kratos, played by Deborah Ann Woll. A 23-minute gameplay reveal showed a faster, more acrobatic style than recent games. It will launch on PlayStation 5.
π The Backstory
The God of War series began in 2005 and moved from Greek to Norse mythology in 2018. Those later games sold tens of millions of copies and won major awards. Laufey is the first to put a woman in the lead role.
Big PlayStation releases are often delayed late in development. Studios say the extra months fix bugs and add polish. Delays also push a game out of a crowded launch window.
π― Why It Matters
If you were planning a February purchase, your wait is now three months longer. It also shows that even Sony's biggest studios miss their dates.
