From the ashes of a character long mourned, Sony Santa Monica Studio has chosen to resurrect Faye — not as memory, but as protagonist. God of War Laufey, arriving February 16, 2027, asks its audience to follow a ghost into the light, trusting that understanding her will deepen everything that came before. It is a franchise pausing its familiar hero to ask a quieter, older question: whose story have we really been telling all along?
