God of War Laufey is scheduled to launch on PS5 on February 16, 2027. Santa Monica Studio’s September announcement also revealed pre-order rewards and the Digital Deluxe Edition. Here is a concise guide to the confirmed details and what to consider before choosing a copy.
Release date and pre-orders
Pre-orders opened on September 29, 2026, at 10 a.m. local time. The announced launch platform is PlayStation 5.
Check the listing for your PlayStation account’s region before buying. Use that listing for the current price, supported languages, and purchase terms, rather than treating a price from another country as your local cost.
What is God of War Laufey about?
This new mainline entry places Faye, also known as Laufey, at the center of the story. After her funeral, she awakens in the Everywhen, an afterlife where gods from different mythologies compete for power. Her journey involves protecting Kratos and Atreus as the plans she left behind come under threat.
Santa Monica Studio describes a blend of the Greek-era games’ movement and fluidity with the Norse-era approach to world-building and characters. That makes Faye’s perspective a central part of this chapter’s identity.
Pre-order rewards
The announced bonuses are:
- Last Wish Armor Set
- Phranque Golden Leaves cosmetic appearance
- An in-game resource pack
Items marked by the publisher unlock through story progression. Physical Standard Edition bonuses are supplied through a download code and require an internet connection and a PlayStation account.
Digital Deluxe Edition contents
The announced Deluxe extras include:
- Dark Alchemy Armor Set
- Dark Alchemy Blade
- Dark Alchemy Bow Scales
- Dark Alchemy Catalyst
- An in-game resource pack
- A digital mini artbook
- The official digital soundtrack
When deciding between editions, consider whether you want the digital artbook and soundtrack as well as the additional gear. Compare the local price difference with the extras you would actually use.
Faye’s Serpent Bow
The September reveal highlights the Serpent Bow, with precise full-aim and more mobile half-aim firing styles. Different bow scales provide customization options.
For a closer look at the gameplay, watch the footage in the official announcement below. Pay attention to movement, aiming, and how Faye changes between attacks; those details can help you decide whether the combat appeals to you.
Which edition should you choose?
If your priority is playing the main adventure, start by comparing the Standard Edition with the Deluxe offering. If you collect digital soundtracks or artbooks, those additions may matter more to you. Pre-order rewards alone should be weighed against your confidence in the game and the purchase terms.
