God Of War Laufey May Feature Gods Who Were Killed In The Previous Games
God of War Laufey, the upcoming entry in Santa Monica Studio’s acclaimed franchise, will explore what became of the gods that Kratos killed throughout the original trilogy and its spin-offs. Director Ariel Lawrence has hinted that these deceased deities may return to haunt the narrative, creating new supernatural threats. The concept has been a long-standing question for the development team—Lawrence revealed that creators have been contemplating this for approximately 20 years, dating back to Ares’s death in the 2005 original game. At that time, developers wondered where killed gods would go, with possibilities including the underworld. While Kratos is confirmed to still be alive, his wife Faye appears to be central to confronting these returning threats. This narrative direction suggests that God of War Laufey will explore the mythological consequences of Kratos’s centuries of godslaying and deepen the lore surrounding the fate of deities in its universe.
