God of War Laufey was revealed at the State of Play on June 2, 2026, with a long gameplay showcase — around 20 minutes of footage (Game Informer counts roughly 23 minutes). It is in development at Santa Monica Studio and is “not a spin-off but a mainline series entry.” Here’s everything that’s actually confirmed about when and where you’ll be able to play it — and what’s still just a rumor.
When is God of War Laufey coming out?
There is no release date. The game’s ending card simply marked it as “in development” with no release window, framed as “Coming Soon.” Santa Monica has not given a year, a season, or a window.
So if you’ve seen “2027” floating around, here’s the important part: that is a rumor, not an official date. It traces back to Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier, who said “this one isn’t years away,” and — when asked whether it was targeting 2028 — answered “definitely not.” Press outlets read those two comments together and landed on 2027 as their best guess. But Schreier never named 2027, and Santa Monica Studio has confirmed nothing. Treat any specific year as speculation until the studio says otherwise.
Platforms — is it on PS5? What about PC?
God of War Laufey is confirmed to be coming exclusively for the PlayStation 5. That’s the only platform Santa Monica has announced.
A PC version has not been announced. Sony’s recent first-party titles have often reached PC eventually, so a later PC port is plausible — but as of the reveal there is no confirmation, no date, and no listing for one. Anyone searching “God of War Laufey PC” should know it’s PS5-only for now.
Price and pre-orders
There is no price announced yet, and there are no pre-orders available so far. What you can do is wishlist the game on PlayStation to be notified as details land. That’s the extent of what’s possible at this early stage.
