God of War Laufey delayed to May 20, 2027: what Santa Monica said and what we know
2026-11-09 · Guides
God of War Laufey is officially delayed. On November 4, 2026, Santa Monica Studio moved the PS5 exclusive from February 16 to May 20, 2027, a slip of about three months. Sony confirmed the new date in its quarterly results a day later.
The new date and the reason
The studio announced the change on X, saying it will use the extra time to put on the finishing touches and push the game to its full potential. It didn't share specifics about what's being reworked.
The delay also showed up in Sony's numbers. In its updated forecast, the company lowered its expectations for first-party games this fiscal year because of the move.
What we know about the game
Sony revealed Laufey at a State of Play earlier this year. It puts players in the role of Faye, Atreus's mother, rather than Kratos. Deborah Ann Woll returns to the part she played in God of War Ragnarök. Jack Quaid and Perlina Lau also star, and Ariel Lawrence directs.
The official setup: after her death, Faye awakens unexpectedly in a strange land. It's coming to PS5 only.

What it means for you
February 2027 just got a little lighter, and spring got more crowded. If you never finished Ragnarök, you now have plenty of time, and Faye is a character fans already know from this series.
