PlayStation said “God of War Laufey,” the next major installment in the franchise, will be released on PS5 on February 16, 2024.
The release date was confirmed during a San Diego Comic-Con panel and on PlayStation’s social media accounts, according to the source material.
The game centers on Laufey, also known as Faye, Kratos’ wife, and follows her journey through the afterlife of the gods after her death in “God of War Ragnarok.”
Players will control Laufey instead of Kratos and will use combat abilities that previous games had only hinted at. A gameplay preview released about a month earlier showed her attacking enemies in the air, using magic, and fighting new gods and creatures, according to the source material.
The game is currently available to wishlist only.
Santa Monica Studio also confirmed during San Diego Comic-Con that another Kratos-led “God of War” game will follow “God of War Laufey,” as reported by IGN.
