Santa Monica Studio announced on November fourth that it is delaying the PlayStation 5 exclusive God of War Laufey by approximately three months. The game was originally scheduled for February sixteenth, twenty twenty-seven, but will now release on May twentieth. The developer stated it needed additional time to complete finishing touches and push the game to its fullest potential. The delay also gives the title breathing room from a crowded early-twenty-twenty-seven release slate, including Sony's own Until Dawn 2. Pre-orders for the Standard Edition, Digital Deluxe Edition, and Collector Box remain open. This marks one of PlayStation's most anticipated first-party titles, as it shifts focus to Faye, the deceased wife of protagonist Kratos, as the playable lead character for the first time in the franchise's mainline history.
