God of War: Laufey Release Date Targeting First Half of 2027, Insider Claims
Insider NateTheHate claims God of War: Laufey is targeting a first half 2027 release window. No official release date has been locked in and plans could still change. The game was revealed at PlayStation State of Play on June 2, 2026, with 20 minutes of gameplay.


God of War: Laufey may have a release window — and it is sooner than most fans expected. Well known gaming insider NateTheHate has revealed that Sony Santa Monica is internally targeting a first half 2027 launch, while noting plans could still shift. The game stars Faye, wife of Kratos, voiced by Deborah Ann Woll — making her the first playable character in the franchise who isn't Kratos.
Who Is Behind The Leak:
The information comes from well-known gaming insider NateTheHate, active on Reddit and X with a strong track record on PlayStation first party titles. No official release date has been confirmed by Sony Santa Monica. What Happens Next:
Santa Monica has stayed silent on the release of God of War: Laufey. A State of Play showcase could be announced in September where the game may receive a proper release date along with a new gameplay trailer.
Our Take:
A first half 2027 window makes complete sense when you look at PlayStation's release strategy. Sony has been deliberate about spacing major exclusives and God of War: Laufey is exactly the kind of title they'd want owning a full release window. That said God of War games have slipped before — Ragnarok moved from 2021 targets before landing in November 2022. Don't mark the calendar yet but this is encouraging.
