Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.Santa Monica Studio creative head Cory Barlog has announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2026 that God of War Laufey will launch on February 16, 2027, with a new Kratos-led God of War game also underway. "Faye is, while it's a different thing, it's still a part of the larger tapestry of what we truly really want to explore, all of these different characters in there," Barlog said (via IGN). "But there's always going to be Kratos games, like throughout the whole history. We're super excited about that." With that, there are now four major God of War projects in development: God of War Laufey — February 16, 2027. God of War Trilogy Remake — early development. God of War Prime Video series — production paused due to Kratos actor Ryan Hurst suffering an injury and being recast. Kratos-led God of War — unknown. Barlog didn't reveal what setting we might expect from this new God of War game, but in the past, he has openly hinted at exploring the Egyptian or Mayan pantheons. Kratos himself, Christopher Judge, has likewise expressed his interest in taking the God of War to Egypt, saying that it "would be a completion of my circle" after playing Teal'c in Stargate.
