Sony Sets God of War Laufey for Feb. 16, 2027 as New Kratos Game Follows

Q: What secret plans did Faye leave behind that force her to fight across multiple mythologies after death?

They have not been publicly revealed in detail. Sony and Santa Monica Studio have only said that Faye had set plans in motion before her death to protect Kratos and Atreus, and that those plans are now in danger after she awakens in the Everywhen. What is clear from the announcement is that these plans are tied to Faye’s larger role in the Norse saga: she was a guardian of the Jötnar, a rebel against the Aesir, and the architect of the path meant to safeguard her family’s future. The game appears designed to show how much of Kratos and Atreus’ journey was shaped by her actions behind the scenes. The available material suggests the “secret plans” are less a single hidden object or message than a broader protective scheme Faye arranged before dying. That likely includes measures connected to prophecy, the Jötnar, and the future she intended for Kratos and Atreus. But neither Sony nor the studio has yet specified exactly what she left behind. What has been confirmed is the stakes: in the Everywhen, where gods from multiple mythologies compete for power, Faye must fight to preserve those plans and ensure the future she intended for her family remains intact. The mystery of what, exactly, she set in motion appears to be one of the game’s central story reveals.
