Santa Monica Studio has officially delayed God of War Laufey from February 16 to May 20, 2027, giving the development team three additional months to polish the upcoming PS5 exclusive.

According to the developer, the additional development time will be used to apply finishing touches and bring the game closer to its intended quality.
The studio also thanked fans for their enthusiasm following the game’s reveal in June 2026 and promised further updates.
God of War Laufey follows Faye, the wife of Kratos and mother of Atreus, as she explores the mysterious Everywhen, an afterlife populated by gods and creatures from different mythologies.
Unlike previous entries starring Kratos, the upcoming adventure places Faye at the center of the story, introducing a different combat style built around faster, more acrobatic movement.
Originally scheduled for February 16, God of War Laufey will now launch exclusively on PlayStation 5 on May 20, 2027.
Santa Monica Studio has not announced any changes to the game’s previously revealed editions or pre-order bonuses.
