God of War Laufey will no longer arrive in February. Santa Monica Studio announced that the PlayStation 5 game is moving to a May 20th, 2027 release, pushing back a launch that had been scheduled for February 16th. The delay affects players who had been expecting the next entry in the God of War series early next year.
The studio said it had been grateful for the excitement around Faye's journey through the Everywhen since the game was revealed in June. It stated that it does not take for granted the trust fans place in the studio to deliver an experience worthy of their passion and dedication. With that in mind, the team decided to move the release to May 20th, 2027.
Santa Monica Studio said the additional time will be used to put in the finishing touches and push the game to its fullest potential. The studio thanked fans for their patience on behalf of the entire team and said it would return with more updates soon.
Laufey stars Faye, the wife of Kratos, the usual protagonist of the God of War series. Deborah Ann Woll plays Faye again. A 23-minute gameplay reveal earlier this year showed that Laufey appears to play differently from the other recent God of War games, with a greater focus on acrobatic action.
The game was set to launch on PlayStation 5 before the delay was announced. The move to May 20th, 2027 applies to that planned release.
