Optimistic PlayStation fans are convincing themselves that God of War: Laufey will be released soon, pointing to Sony’s heavy marketing of the title.
Revealed at PlayStation’s State of Play Showcase as part of Summer Games Fest, God of War: Laufey follows Faye, Kratos’ wife, in a spin-off title releasing exclusively on PlayStation 5, and some fans believe the release is right around the corner.

God of War: Laufey Fans Convinced of Imminent Release
A quick search on X for ‘Laufey’ is all that is required to find fans stating their belief that God of War: Laufey could release sooner than anticipated, pointing to PlayStation’s main account changing the cover image to the game, and identifying how clean the gameplay footage from State of Play was.
Some have even gone as far as to suggest that the title could be shadow-dropped, similar to the Roguelite expansion to God of War: Ragnarok, though that seems extremely unlikely.
The fact that PlayStation is heavily marketing God of War: Laufey is not surprising, but regularly posting about the title and changing social media details to focus on the game is attracting a buzz, particularly with other major PlayStation releases on the horizon.
Insomniac Games’ Wolverine is the first that springs to mind, set to release on PlayStation 5 on September 15, and PlayStation’s decision to seemingly focus on a flood of Laufey content over new engagement and building hype for the Marvel title has not gone unnoticed.
Still, there’s nothing to indicate that God of War: Laufey is releasing anytime soon, with the only reports so far on the release date indicating that it could be early in 2027 and will “definitely” be before 2028.
And while the gameplay footage shown at State of Play was stunning, it’s worth noting that it comes right at the beginning of the game, and will have been heavily polished, while development of later parts of the title could still need a lot of work.
