New gameplay footage for God of War Laufey showcases fast paced air combos and the versatile Serpent Bow, alongside detailed pre order bonuses for the February 2027 release.
Santa Monica Studio is leaning hard into the fast paced action of the series roots with the upcoming release of God of War Laufey. Recent gameplay footage shared by Sony highlights Faye pulling off stylish air combos, chaining double jumps and sword slashes before unleashing her brand new weapon, the Serpent Bow. According to a new developer blog post, the bow can be fired at lightning speed to keep enemies suspended in the air, or used in a mobile hip fire stance for close range crowd control.
Players will also have plenty of gear customization to dive into when the game launches. The Serpent Bow supports multiple arrow types like explosive and multi target rounds, alongside equippable Scales that alter its appearance and grant unique perks. Faye can similarly customize her sword and Catalyst artifacts to alter her abilities, bringing a robust layer of buildcrafting to the single player experience.
Alongside the gameplay deep dive, Sony detailed the release schedule and pre order incentives for the game ahead of its February 16, 2027 launch. Pre orders kick off soon, with standard bonuses like the Last Wish armor set alongside a Digital Deluxe Edition featuring the Dark Alchemy loadout, digital artbook, and soundtrack. As a prequel of sorts centering on Faye's journey through the afterlife to save her family, this new chapter gives one of mythology's most formidable warriors the spotlight she deserves.
Reporting via Polygon highlights how Santa Monica Studio is evolving its signature combat formula for modern hardware.
