Sony closed its State of Play last night with 20 minutes of gameplay from its next big game: God of War Laufey, a new installment in the God of War franchise. Following the story of the last two God of War games, this time we will not embody Kratos, but his wife and mother of his son Atreus, Laufey, better known by her alias, Faye.

The game begins with the death of Laufey, and that is where its greatest peculiarity lies. This time the game is not set in a particular mythology, but Laufey is trapped in the Afterlife of the gods with all kinds of mythological beings. In order to escape from there, she will have to flee with the help of what seems to be a magical sword with powers to kill gods and a talking gelatinous cube.

A God of War with a different protagonist

While we still don’t know many more details, the twenty minutes of trailer have allowed us to understand the foundation of the game. Following the hack’n’slash gameplay style of God of War, but with aerial combat and an emphasis on parries, it seems that it will be a game very much indebted to previous installments of the franchise. This means there is absolutely nothing to fear for fans of the franchise who are looking forward to a new installment of God of War, even if Kratos is not the protagonist.

Having already seen gods from Mongolian mythology and hints of Arthurian myths, there are still many details to unveil. Such as its release date, as we do not know a release date even approximately. The only certainty is that it will be released for PlayStation 5 in the future, and everything points to it delighting fans of God of War.
