War, the Game

God of War Laufey stars Kratos' dead wife as she fights her way through the afterlife.

Sony’s big State of Play announcement was God of War Laufey, the next game in Sony Santa Monica’s God of War franchise due out exclusively for PlayStation 5. While the fact the game would focus on Faye as opposed to Kratos had leaked months before the showcase, it’s fair to say Sony’s 20 minute gameplay reveal sparked a vociferous reaction across the internet.

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

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..
