Awakening unexpectedly in a strange land after her death, Faye discovers the plans she put in place to protect Kratos and Atreus in her absence are now at risk.

To save the ones she loves, Faye must fight through the afterlife of the gods – the Everywhen – where ruthless gods from across mythology vie for power in a land overflowing with dangerous magic.

Harness Faye's speed, control and relentlessness to overwhelm even the fiercest of foes with decisive, deadly precision.

Combining the movement and fluidity of the Greek era with the Norse era’s approach to world-building and close ties with characters — Santa Monica Studio has crafted an experience that has given our team incredible opportunities to take exciting creative swings, while staying true to the pillars of the God of War series. 

Combat Details

Introducing Faye’s Serpent Bow

An enchanted bow with the shifting form of a serpent, Faye’s new weapon in the Everywhen can go from dormant to notched at lightning speed, allowing her to weave deadly arrow strikes alongside her other attacks. Much like the deadly bite of its namesake, the Serpent Bow will tear through Faye’s enemies in both close-quarters and ranged combat.

Precision mode: Full-aim 

By fully pressing down the aim trigger, Faye will have more precise aim and increased draw distance. By striking at certain points on an enemy’s body, Faye can impair their movement or ability to strike, giving her the perfect opening to follow-up with a melee hit. 

While in this aim mode, Faye can charge up the bow and stack up to five arrows for a powerful volley – perfect for taking advantage of Phranque’s ability to launch enemies up into the sky.

Hip-fire mode: Half-aim 

With a half press of the aim trigger, Faye will enter a more mobile hip-fire stance. In this aim mode, she can unleash a cluster of arrows for devastating damage to enemies at close range.

The Serpent Bow’s quick-fire style allows Faye to juggle airborne enemies and extend combos as she seamlessly swaps between weapons and abilities. 

Select your shots 

Alongside the two fire modes, Faye can utilize a variety of arrow types that deepen your preferred playstyle. Rapid fire, explosive detonations, multi-target – Faye’s bow is a versatile weapon that can create and capitalize on openings. 

Serpent Scales 

Shed one form and embrace another – the Serpent Bow can be equipped with different types of Scales that will change both the look of the weapon, as well as the type of playstyle it specializes in via a unique perk (such as the Dark Alchemy Bow Scales from the Digital Deluxe Edition). 

In addition to the equipped Scales, the Serpent Bow also has unlockable skills which allow Faye to expand its capabilities even further. 

Expressive power

Faye is an expert warrior with the ability to harness a range of skills to command the flow of the battle.

Her armor options will allow you to choose between a range of gameplay perks, stats, and unique looks. You can also customize her other gear to further enhance different playstyles:

• Blade: Customizable element of Faye’s sword  
• Scales: Customizable element of Faye’s Serpent Bow     
• Catalyst: Powerful artifacts capable of channeling the potent magic of the Everywhen, Faye will be able to choose from a variety of Catalysts with different effects

Guardian of the Jötnar, rebel leader against the oppressive Aesir gods, and lone protector of the Wildwoods – Laufey is a warrior whose battle prowess was legendary even among the Giants. 

The Everywhen is the birthplace and endpoint to which all magic returns, a transcendent realm above those we’ve come to know. A location in which gods and creatures from different mythologies come together, and not always in harmonious coexistence.

Reprising her role as Faye after appearing in God of War Ragnarök, Deborah Ann Woll lead the cast of God of War Laufey. 

Faye will not be venturing into the Everywhen alone, as she meets two companions shortly after she first wakes up. 

Phranque, played by Jack Quaid, is a curious cosmic cube with an earnest disposition. He will do whatever it takes to protect his friends and the creatures of the Everywhen. 

Rue, played by Perlina Lau, is the enchanted ribbon guardian tasked with keeping the devastatingly powerful sword in her care from falling into the wrong hands.

Together they will embark on a journey deep into the Everywhen that will pit them against a fantastic cast of gods and creatures from across mythology, as well as beings native to the Everywhen itself. 

God of War Laufey expands the God of War universe, shedding light on a character whose story has long remained untold.
