Sony Santa Monica has delayed God of War Laufey from February to 20 May 2027. The studio announced the move in a statement on X.
The team said it will use the extra months for “finishing touches” and to push the game “to its fullest potential”. It thanked fans for their patience.
Laufey is a spin-off starring Faye, Kratos's wife. The character is voiced by Deborah Ann Woll, who first played her in God of War Ragnarök.
🔍 The Backstory
Faye appeared in 2018's God of War only as a funeral and a presence in Kratos's memories. Ragnarök in 2022 finally showed her in flashbacks.
The series has grown from a violent action game about Greek gods into a story about family and grief. A game centred on Faye is a big change for the series.
Delays of a few months are common for big PlayStation releases, often to avoid crowded launch windows or to fix bugs before review copies go out.
🎯 Why It Matters
A delay means a longer wait, but it usually means a less buggy game at launch. It also changes what else launches in early 2027.
