God of War Laufey Arrives Feb. 16, 2027 as Faye Battles the Everywhen. God of War Laufey launches on Tuesday, Feb. 16, 2027, on PlayStation 5, with Santa Monica Studio shifting the next major chapter to Faye and her battle through the unstable afterlife called the Everywhen.
The exact release date came out of the San Diego Comic-Con panel in July 2026, when Santa Monica Studio finally pinned down the game's launch window. It is a major PlayStation 5 release for 2027 and remains a PS5 exclusive.
God of War Laufey release date: Tuesday, Feb. 16, 2027. Platform: PlayStation 5. Availability: Pricing and editions are not announced yet, but a physical disc release has been confirmed.
For anyone counting down, the date is simple: Feb. 16, 2027. Santa Monica Studio has not yet announced pricing, editions, or a preorder structure, so the practical next step is still to wishlist the game on PlayStation's website.
Faye takes the lead after Ragnarok
