**God of War: Laufey — Your New Favorite God-Wife Just Got Her Own Game! 🐝🔥**
Oh my goodness, guys—this is absolutely massive! Santa Monica Studios just unveiled *God of War: Laufey*, starring Faye herself (Kratos' beloved wife and former goddess), and the intro gameplay footage looks incredibly slick. The story kicks off right at what feels like the beginning of 2018's original game — Kratos places Faye on a burning pyre saying his farewells alongside their son Atreus, then *bam* she wakes up in an entirely unfamiliar place! 🎥 She seems fully aware of everything that just happened and actually remarks about having "seen the pyre" as she knew her path with Kratos was truly starting. But what's coming next is even more intriguing — Faye finds herself dropped into a realm we've never seen before, one filled with all-new enemies who barely resemble any Norse cast from Ragnarök, though some of their minions have that familiar undead vibe to them! The gameplay preview showed her successfully using her magic abilities to escape imprisonment, only for it to drop right in the middle of an epic battle where she grabs hold of a gorgeous new weapon — a blade with sentient ribbons called Rue attached (meant so it won't get lost from enemies like Kratos's Blades or Leviathan Axe), and seeing her use all those powers while fighting viciously is absolutely stunning.
What I'm *most* excited about though? The setting itself, which turns out to be the Everywhen — a cosmic realm where gods across multiple mythologies battle fiercely for power! This sounds like what Phranque (an awesome new character) referred to as "the afterlife of gods," and honestly it feels almost entirely fresh. A full-scale preview showed Faye captured by these strange new foes, only then she attempts her escape — putting right in the middle of a brutal one-on-one fight that really showcases both what this realm is capable of! And yes: no official release window *just yet*, but we're likely looking at 2017 at the earliest. This feels like such an incredible evolution for the series where Faye gets her own distinct journey while Kratos and Atreus continue their story, which opens up so many possibilities that are going to have fans absolutely salivating!
