God of War Laufey stars the wife of Kratos and a jelly cube
Key takeaways
- After playing as Kratos and Atreus, now we get to be Faye.
- Santa Monica Studios God of War Ragnarok wrapped up the series' Norse saga in extremely satisfying fashion — but we're not done yet.
- The footage started more or less in the same way as 2018's God of War, with Kratos placing Faye's body on a burning pyre and bidding her farewell alongside their son Atreus.
After playing as Kratos and Atreus, now we get to be Faye.
Santa Monica Studios God of War Ragnarok wrapped up the series' Norse saga in extremely satisfying fashion — but we're not done yet. Play Station Studios just announced a God of War Laufey game that stars Kratos' wife Faye (formally known as Laufey), and gave it quite an introduction. We were treated to about 20 minutes of gameplay that appears to take place right at the game's beginning.
The footage started more or less in the same way as 2018's God of War, with Kratos placing Faye's body on a burning pyre and bidding her farewell alongside their son Atreus. Faye then wakes up somewhere else entirely, and seems to know of the events that transpired. She remarks that she saw the pyre and knew that Kratos and Atreus were starting on their path (from the aforementioned game). She then begins traveling through an entirely unfamiliar realm that we haven't seen thus far, dropping into some battles that have classic God of War combat, though obviously Faye plays a lot differently than Kratos or Atreus.
