The God of War franchise may be on the verge of its biggest transformation since 2018. With the hype surrounding Ragnarok having died down and anticipation for new developments running high, fresh details from influential industry sources suggest that Santa Monica Studio’s next project is an ambitious prequel focused on the journey of Laufey, the legendary Faye, wife of Kratos.
What is known about the possible new God of War?
This new God of War project, reportedly directed by the legendary Cory Barlog, is described as his “masterpiece” and has reportedly been in pre-production since the release of the first game in the Norse saga in 2018.
The Journey of Faye and Tyr: Other Mythologies
According to rumors, the new God of War is expected to explore the years when Faye and the Norse god Tyr traveled to distant lands before meeting Kratos. The rumor points to varied settings that include Mayan mythology and East Asian mythology (Japan/China).

An unusual and somewhat curious detail that has surfaced online is the presence of a talking sword, said to be the incarnation of Merlin, as well as a mystical companion described as a "gelatinous cube," suggesting more playful and fantastical elements in the storyline.
But what about Kratos?
For those worried about the absence of the Ghost of Sparta, the rumors offer reassurance: Kratos is said to make an appearance and will be wielding an Egyptian weapon, reinforcing the idea that the worlds are deeply connected. But unlike in the other games, Kratos won’t be the protagonist in this new project.
Reveal in April?
The biggest concern for fans is the release date; everyone is eager for exact details. Rumors suggest that an official announcement could come as early as April 2026, either this week or in the coming days.
Christopher Judge (voice of Kratos) has also been teasing the community lately, suggesting that news is coming toward the end of this summer. The final release is reportedly planned for 2027. So far, it’s all just rumors.
