Kratos Isn't Done — A New Game Right After Faye's Story
If you thought the angry god's story was wrapped up, drop that idea right now. Sony just announced a brand new Kratos game coming after God of War Laufey launches in February 2027. Cory Barlog, creative director at Santa Monica Studio, revealed this at San Diego Comic-Con in a way that left me wondering: where exactly are they trying to take us?
The Plan Is Clear: Faye Is the Beginning, Not the End
Barlog said something really important: "Everything we're doing in Faye is a continuation of what came before, and it's setting up and expanding what comes next." This means the new game about Kratos's late wife isn't just some side story — it's the foundation. Faye will tell part of the story and open completely new doors for Kratos's next adventure.
Honestly, this long-term planning raises a ton of questions: What will they discover about Faye that we don't know? How will her truth affect the Kratos that comes next? The studio isn't spilling details yet, but the way they're talking about it hints that something big is coming.
Expectations and Concerns
To be real with you, I played the new God of War (2018) and it was an exceptional game. But now I'm a little nervous: Will Faye's game get so focused on the past that it becomes boring? Will the studio pull off balancing the story between two different characters? These are legitimate questions.
That said, if Santa Monica is going to invest all this time building a world that serves two back-to-back games, that means they're really trying to do something special.
Final Recommendation
Keep an eye on upcoming news about the series if you're a serious God of War fan. The future looks promising, but wait and see what Faye's game delivers before you make your final judgment.
