The wait is almost over, yet the game still feels further than ever…

When God of War Laufey was announced, many fans of Kratos and the beloved game series didn't know what to think. Personally, I was sure that the next game in the franchise was going to be about Atreus and his search for the giants, so I was quite surprised to learn that the focus is actually going to be on Faye in what looks like the afterlife for gods. But after watching everything there was to watch and reading everything there was to read, I fully trust Santa Monica and this creative decision, and I can't wait to see what they have in store for us.

I know not all GoW fans share the same enthusiasm that I do, and I understand why. Some people have been playing this game with Kratos as the main character since 2005, and they can't imagine doing it now with his wife, a character we haven't even truly met yet. They are used to fits of rage and the strength of a god, and they are not sure how the game would look without them.

All I can say is: After everything we've been through together, I trust the studio, and I have faith that I will not be disappointed. Honestly? The only thing I'm not sure about is the weird cube as a companion, but even that is a small detail I am willing to overlook just so that I can learn more about this legendary family and the secrets of the GoW world.

Many devoted gamers have already pre-ordered the new game and are counting the days until February 16th, 2027. I'm not ashamed to admit that when God of War Ragnarok was released, my husband and I took sick days from work and stayed home for 4 straight days just so we could play the game, so who knows what we'll decide to do when this one comes out. We just hope we'll be able to see Kratos and his boi back on our screen again!
