Here’s the short version: Deborah Ann Woll is back as Faye, Jack Quaid voices the cube Phranque, and Perlina Lau plays Rue. Behind the camera, Cory Barlog is now Head of Creative and Ariel Lawrence is the game’s director.
That’s the full confirmed cast as of reveal day — three voice roles, named on the record. No other voice actors have been announced yet.
⚠️ Reveal-day list. God of War Laufey was announced on June 2, 2026. The cast below is everything Santa Monica Studio has confirmed so far. The Egyptian and Mongolian gods shown in the demo don’t have announced voice actors yet, and more roles will likely be named closer to launch.
Voice cast at a glance
| Character | Voice / Performance | Known for | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Laufey / Faye (protagonist) | Deborah Ann Woll | Karen Page (Marvel's Daredevil, Born Again); Jessica Hamby (True Blood); Queen of the Ring | Confirmed |
| Phranque (cosmic cube) | Jack Quaid | Hughie in The Boys; Oppenheimer; Novocaine; Boimler in Star Trek: Lower Decks | Confirmed |
| Rue (ribbon guardian) | Perlina Lau | Pip in Creamerie (NZ black-comedy series) | Confirmed |
Deborah Ann Woll — Faye (Laufey)
Woll reprises her role as Faye from God of War Ragnarök — the PlayStation Blog said the studio was “thrilled to have the fantastic Deborah Ann Woll lead the cast of God of War Laufey.” Now she’s not a memory or a corpse on a pyre; she’s the player character.
Most players will know her as Karen Page across Marvel’s Daredevil, The Defenders, The Punisher, and Daredevil: Born Again. She also played Jessica Hamby in True Blood and starred in Queen of the Ring.
Jack Quaid — Phranque
Quaid voices Phranque, the talking cosmic cube that turned out to be the breakout star of the reveal. He’s best known as Hughie Campbell in The Boys, where he just wrapped a five-season run, plus Oppenheimer, Novocaine, and Boimler in Star Trek: Lower Decks.
Perlina Lau — Rue
Lau plays Rue, the enchanted ribbon guardian bound to Faye’s sword. She’s a New Zealand actress, best recognized as Pip in the dystopian black-comedy series Creamerie, which won Best Drama at the 2021 New Zealand Television Awards.
No official headshot for Perlina Lau is available as of reveal day, so we’re not showing a fabricated one. Rue appears in-game as the talking ribbons on Faye’s sword — see the Companions page for screenshots.
The creative team
The people steering the game — and the wider series — were front and center at the reveal.
Cory Barlog
Head of Creative, Santa Monica Studio
A new role, announced alongside Laufey: Barlog now guides the long-term vision of the God of War series. He directed 2018's God of War and was creative director on Ragnarök. His headline quote: "This is not a prequel" — Laufey is "a continuation of the timeline."
Ariel Lawrence
Game Director, God of War Laufey
Lawrence directs Laufey and gave the exclusive reveal interview alongside Barlog. On choosing Faye: "We'll always tell stories about Kratos, but for us, it was just a chance to talk about somebody who was so pivotal to the beginning."

Who hasn’t been announced
A couple of things to keep straight:
- The gods shown in the demo — Sekhmet (Egyptian) and Begtse (Mongolian/Tibetan Buddhist) — do not have announced voice actors yet.
- A Narrative Director / Lead Writer is referenced in the reveal, but the name wasn’t given in the blog.
- Chatter that Alanah Pearce worked on the game is not confirmed in official sources — treat it as unverified.
Studio & publisher
God of War Laufey is developed by SIE Santa Monica Studio and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It’s a PS5 exclusive, with no release date or price announced.
