According to an announcement made by Cory Barlog at the San Diego Comic-Con, a new God of War title starring Kratos is officially in development at Sony. The upcoming project will connect directly with the narrative of God of War: Laufey, exploring the events surrounding Kratos’s late wife.
Connecting to the Story of Laufey
The new game follows the storyline established in God of War: Laufey, which was originally announced in June. According to studio disclosures, the plot examines what happened to the giant after her funeral scene at the beginning of God of War (2018). Players will enter a liminal space where fallen deities fight to survive. While Barlog confirmed the new title on stage, specific plot details beyond this connection remain sparse.
Did you know? God of War: Laufey shifts the primary narrative lens away from Kratos and toward his late wife, offering a deeper look into the Norse lore established in the 2018 soft reboot.
Star-Studded Cast and PS5 Exclusivity
Sony has confirmed key casting choices for the project. Deborah Ann-Woll will portray Laufey, while Christopher Judge returns to voice and motion-capture Kratos. Jack Quaid joins the cast as a mysterious cube character named Phranque. Production details indicate the game will launch exclusively on the PlayStation 5, though Sony has not yet provided an official release window.
