[QUOTE="Admin, post: 70355, member: 1"] [IMG]https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2026/03/02/fhsomriauaa6jmk-1772445285828.jpg[/IMG] [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/god-of-war']God of War[/URL] developer Sony Santa Monica is reportedly working on a major spinoff focused on Faye — Kratos' wife and the mother of Atreus. Whispers of what exactly Sony Santa Monica was working on next have been growing over the past weeks, following an earlier [URL='https://www.resetera.com/threads/playstation-studios-ot46-back-to-the-beach.1172010/page-406#post-142670637']tease[/URL] by Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier that the studio's next project was "not a new IP but it might feel like one."

"Yes, the game is set within the God of War universe & the lead character will be Fay," wrote NatetheHate, who has a decent track record with leaking video game-related project information. "Current plan: Reveal this year/release first half 2027 — barring any delay." Faye, otherwise known as Laufey, is an important character in the story of Sony Santa Monica's Norse God of War titles, and particularly [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/god-of-war-ragnarok']God of War Ragnarök[/URL], where she is portrayed by True Blood and Daredevil star Deborah Ann Woll. The 2018 God of War begins with Faye dead, and the entire game is structured as a journey to fulfil her last wish: that her ashes be scattered from the Nine Realms' highest peak. That game's conclusion reveals that Faye had been a Jötunn, or Frost Giant. God of War Ragnarök then features Faye more extensively, with the character appearing to Kratos in flashback-like dreams. Sony Santa Monica developing a game focused on Faye would suggest its story will be a God of War (2018) prequel — likely with little appearance from Kratos himself.
