God of War Laufey Unveils 20-Minute Preview, Introducing Talking Cube Frank

3 articles · Updated · Forbes · Jun 3

Summary

  • A 20-minute State of Play gameplay preview introduced God of War Laufey as a parallel story starring Faye in the gods’ afterlife, not a prequel centered on Kratos’ past.
  • Frank — a talking gelatinous cube voiced by Jack Quaid — appears as Faye’s combat aide, described by PlayStation as a cosmic protector of friends and creatures in the Everywhen.
  • At least 2 gods of war from other religions appear in the footage, signaling a broader mythological clash as Faye battles through the afterlife.
  • Social media quickly mocked Frank’s reveal, with criticism focusing on whether the comic-relief cube fits God of War’s established tone despite interest in the spinoff’s larger premise.
