Seed of God

Sony’s big State of Play showstopper was God of War Laufey, the next game in the God of War series from Sony Santa Monica due out exclusively on PS5.

As rumored, today's State of Play broadcast included the official announcement of a new God of War game. This game does not star Kratos, however. Faye looks to be the lead character in the newly announced God of War game. Santa Monica is also working on a remake of the original God of War trilogy. A live-action TV adaptation is also in the works with Amazon Prime Video, with production on the series now underway. A live-service God of War game, however, was reportedly canceled in 2025.. This story is developing...

The rumors about a new God of War game proved to be true during Sony's latest State of Play event. That's why the reveal of God of War Laufey wasn't unexpected. What was a surprise was its cubic, talking, gelatin-like companion character, Phranque (as voiced by The Boys' Jack Quaid), is the character who turned out to be the breakout star of State of Play. As seen in the video below, Quaid even provided the motion-capture performance for Phranque. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKMCqyeBWmU&t=102s Ostensibly, the focus was supposed to be on Faye (Deborah Ann Woll), the late wife of Kratos

God of War Laufey was only just announced, but already fans of the series have theories about what will happen, and they don't sound too far-fetched.

Cory Barlog tells IGN why God of War Laufey is set in parallel to the timeline of God of War 2018 and Ragnarok rather than being a prequel.
