Summary

  • San Diego Comic-Con brought confirmation from Cory Barlog that Santa Monica Studio is developing another God of War game led by Kratos.
  • The new title will arrive after God of War Laufey, which now has a PS5 release date of Feb. 16, 2027, and Barlog said Kratos' next story ties directly to its events.
  • Laufey follows Faye into the gods' afterlife, the Everywhen, where she fights to protect plans meant to safeguard Kratos and Atreus.
  • Kratos' last mainline outing was 2022's God of War Ragnarök, while Sony Santa Monica has also released prequel title Sons of Sparta and is working on a remake of the original trilogy.
