PlayStation's Santa Monica Studio has delayed the release of God of War Laufey, citing the need for additional work. The game was initially set to release on February 16, 2027, but will now be available on May 20, 2027. The studio expressed gratitude for the excitement surrounding the game and acknowledged the trust placed in them to create an extraordinary experience.

They will use the extra time to put in the finishing touches and push the game to its fullest potential. The team appreciates the fans' patience and promises to share more updates soon. God of War Laufey is the first mainline title to star a protagonist other than Kratos, with Faye taking on the role of Kratos's Norse wife and the mother of Atreus.

The game's synopsis describes Faye's journey through the afterlife of the gods, the Everywhen, where she must fight to save those she loves.
