God of War Laufey pre-orders start September 29
Get ready to dive into the afterlife of the gods, because God of War Laufey is set to land on PlayStation 5 consoles on February 16, 2027. The anticipation is building, and with pre-orders now live across the PlayStation Store and participating retailers, the journey into this new world is officially on the horizon.
To help fans prepare for the launch, developers are offering some fantastic ways to celebrate the upcoming release. Pre-ordering your copy comes bundled with exclusive rewards designed to enhance your experience. For those who secure the standard pre-order, they will receive the Last Wish Armor Set, a unique Phranque Golden Leaves Appearance, and an exclusive in-game resource pack.
For players looking for the ultimate experience, the Digital Deluxe Edition packs even more treasures. This edition includes the highly sought-after Dark Alchemy Armor Set, the Dark Alchemy Blade, Dark Alchemy Bow Scales, the Dark Alchemy Catalyst, an in-game resource pack, a digital mini artbook, and the official God of War Laufey Digital Soundtrack.
At the heart of the gameplay lies Faye’s dynamic new weapon, the Serpent Bow. This enchanted artifact is more than just a tool; it’s a force of nature that shifts between dormant and lightning-fast, allowing Faye to weave deadly arrow strikes with incredible speed. Like its namesake, the Serpent Bow is designed to tear through enemies in both close-quarters and ranged combat with deadly precision.
Faye’s mastery of the Serpent Bow involves nuanced controls that let players tailor their combat style. The game features multiple modes to maximize control: Precision mode: Full-aim allows for highly accurate aiming and increased draw distance, enabling Faye to strike vulnerable points on enemies to set up powerful melee follow-ups. This mode also allows for charging up up to five arrows for devastating volleys, perfect for utilizing Phranque’s abilities to launch foes into the air.
Conversely, Hip-fire mode: Half-aim puts Faye in a highly mobile stance, letting her unleash a cluster of arrows for devastating close-range damage. This quick-fire style allows her to juggle airborne enemies and seamlessly transition between weapons and abilities, emphasizing flow and agility.
Faye’s versatility is further enhanced by the ability to Select your shots, offering options such as rapid fire, explosive detonations, and multi-target attacks. This makes the Serpent Bow a truly versatile weapon, capable of creating and capitalizing on every opening.
The weapon itself is customizable through Serpent Scales, which allow players to shed one form for another, changing the weapon’s appearance and specializing its playstyle—such as the Dark Alchemy Bow Scales. Beyond the visual changes, Faye’s power stems from her ability to harness various skills through her armor options. Players can customize her gear with options for a Blade, unique Scales for the bow, and powerful Catalyst artifacts that channel the potent magic of the Everywhen.
As Santa Monica Studio wraps up this exciting chapter, they have expressed immense gratitude for the support and interest shown since the initial reveal in June. While further news is on the way, the promise is clear: the afterlife of the gods is waiting, and it is set to arrive on February 16, 2027.
