Santa Monica Studio has unveiled God of War: Laufey, the next title in the popular God of War video game franchise. The upcoming action-adventure game shifts focus from god of war Kratos to his eponymous wife (voiced by Daredevil's Deborah Ann Woll), who isn't having as peaceful an afterlife as her family likely hoped.
Announced during PlayStation's State of Play livestream on Tuesday, God of War: Laufey will follow the frost giant after her funeral in 2018's God of War. Having died and left behind her husband as well as their son Atreus, Laufey — also known as Faye — finds herself in the Everywhen, an afterlife for the gods.However, though she is technically dead, this appears to be a temporary setback for the Jötunn warrior. Encountering various gods from across mythology, including Egyptian goddess Sekhmet and Mongolian god Begtse, Faye will battle through the Everywhen to find her way home and protect her family.
