🔥 Trending God of War: Laufey and Kratos Sequel Details Emerge

A new God of War game featuring Kratos has been officially announced by Santa Monica Studio's head of creative, Cory Barlog, at San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) 2026 ¹⁴⁶⁷. This upcoming title will directly follow the events of God of War: Laufey ¹²³⁴⁵.

Connection to God of War: Laufey

The next Kratos-led God of War game is intrinsically linked to God of War: Laufey, a title that is expected to precede it ¹³⁵⁸.

He elaborated, stating, "Everything we are doing in the Faye game is a continuation of what came before and to set up and expand what comes next" ⁵. This suggests that players will gain a deeper understanding of the overarching storyline and its future directions through the Laufey title.

Development Status and Narrative Focus

The new Kratos game is already in development at Sony Santa Monica ⁸. While specific details about its plot remain under wraps, it is confirmed to continue Kratos's story, picking up directly from where God of War: Laufey concludes ². This confirms that Kratos, the main protagonist of the franchise, will remain central to the series' future ²⁷.

Previous God of War Titles

For context, the most recent main installment featuring Kratos was God of War Ragnarök, released on November 9, 2022, for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 ⁹. Ragnarök is the ninth installment in the series and serves as a direct sequel to 2018's God of War, continuing the Norse mythology-inspired narrative with Kratos and his son Atreus ⁹¹⁰. The upcoming Kratos-led game, following Laufey, will further expand this rich narrative universe.
