The Norwegian God of War games are officially a trilogy

We've all been told that Marvel's Wolverine would have been the biggest reveal of the latest state of Sony's game, but it turns out we've been somewhat misled. That's because as cool as Wolverine looked like a surprising 20-minute gameplay trailer God of War Laufeywhich Cory Barlog, head of Santa Monica Studio, describes as another “core” game in the God of War franchise, stole the show. Sorry, Insomniac.

God of War Laufeydue out in 2027, follows in 2023 God of War Ragnarok— kind. The Laufey The campaign is suggested to begin right after Kratos and Atreus burn her funeral pyre, which fans will recognize as the opening scene God of War 2018. However, this story begins in the “afterlife of the gods”, which is also referred to as Everywhen. I'd bet the timeline is a bit more complicated. in any case Laufey will follow the titular Giantess through this unexpected afterlife, teeming with creatures from other mythologies and potentially lining up a new God of War world.

God of War Laufey escapes 2nd playable character

God of War Laufey features Faye as the main playable character, but leaks claim she won't be the only one in the game.

God of War Laufey completes the modern God of War

No matter where it fits God of War timeline, God of War Laufey is clearly more than just a spin-off. Aside from the fact that it boasts the same high production value and cinematic attention to detail that players have come to expect from Santa Monica, the game's trailer makes more than a few gestures towards the story. God of War Ragnarok. The most notable of these is the role of the mysterious mask, which is almost certainly connected to the Creature Mask of Ragnarok.

Easy to medium hard

God of War Laufey she is thus ready to answer many of the questions raised by the previous one God of War games. Not only could we uncover more of the secrets behind the masks, Odin's greater plan, and Laufey herself, but we could also learn more about the wider God of War universe. That's why God of War Laufey officially introduces characters from new mythologies. We know of at least two:

Begtse: Mongolian god of war
Sekhmet: Egyptian god of war

Laufey will be first God of War from God of War 2018, marking the second time new mythologies have been explicitly and meaningfully introduced to the series. Of course the former God of War games, incl Ragnarokthey are full of references to other mythologies, but they never featured the big players in this way Laufey it seems it does.

I would be fine with God of War Laufey concluding the Norse saga

I can't say what the Santa Monica Studios plan is beyond God of War Laufeybut perhaps it does not matter: by bridging the gulf between the Norse empires and the Mongol and Egyptian empires so decisively, Laufey he may have opened a door that cannot be closed. Regardless of what comes next, the Norse saga is no longer strictly Norse. Other players entered the arena and expanded the world God of War further, as well as how God of War 2018 irreversibly spread beyond Greece.

Build your perfect ten one revelation at a time.

Laufey could very well have been the last one focused on Norse God of War game for a while. Assuming it takes place primarily in Everywhen, the interstitial space between worlds, Laufey would be an obvious opportunity to transition the franchise into a different mythological setting. I still think we get Atreus lead God of War game at some point — in fact, it seems even more likely afterward Laufey's revelation — but perhaps Fey's Everywhen journey will point her son toward new lands. Maybe God of War Laufey will be the bow that will launch Atreus, a God of War franchise by expanding into the next era.
