Sony Santa Monica's upcoming God of War Laufey has officially been delayed beyond its original February 16, 2027 release date. The developer didn't get too deep into why God of War Laufey is being delayed, only sharing a simple statement that it wants to put the finishing touches on the game and let it reach its full potential. This delay leaves Until Dawn 2 as the PlayStation 5's major Q1 2027 release.
God of War Laufey was originally announced back in June as a follow-up to 2022's God of War Ragnarok that replaces Kratos as the series protagonist for the first time ever. Taking the reins in God of War Laufey is Faye, the deceased wife of Kratos and mother of Atreus, who awakens in the land of Everywhen. Featured in God of War Laufey are deities from mythologies the series hasn't fully explored before, such as Sekhmet from Egyptian mythology and Begtse from Mongolian mythology.
It's no secret that PlayStation has faced a rough year, and God of War Laufey's launch is a make-or-break moment for the brand.
In a statement shared by the official Santa Monica Studio Twitter account, the developer confirms that God of War Laufey 's release date is being pushed back to May 20, 2027. Previously slated for February 16, this delay moves God of War Laufey out of the way of other major game releases in February 2027 , including Metro 2039 , Persona 4 Revival , and Xbox's Fable . The three-month delay is said to give the developer time to further polish the game and make it the best experience it can be at launch.
