Sony\u2019s Santa Monica Studio has already stated that\u00a0God of War<\/em> isn\u2019t leaving Kratos behind forever<\/a> now that Faye, Kratos\u2019 late wife<\/a>, is getting her own game in\u00a0God of War Laufey<\/em>. Well, if that wasn\u2019t clear enough for you, the studio has confirmed the next\u00a0God of War<\/em> game is in development at the studio, and the bald, grumpy, god of war himself will be the main playable character once more.<\/p>\n At the San Diego Comic Con\u00a0God of War Laufey<\/em> panel, Santa Monica Studio head of creative Cory Barlog confirmed that Kratos is the star of the next\u00a0God of War<\/em> game, but if you were thinking of skipping\u00a0Laufey<\/em> for some reason<\/a>, the game will apparently tie directly into the events of Faye\u2019s game.<\/p>\n Cory Barlog said at #SDCC<\/a> that the next Kratos-led God of War game is coming after Laufey, and connects directly to her story pic.twitter.com\/gNevMfZP5A<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 IGN (@IGN) July 25, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Obviously this isn\u2019t a huge surprise given Santa Monica Studio already confirmed that Kratos would return, but maybe this will quiet some of the people mad online that a\u00a0God of War<\/em> game in which Kratos is not the main character of one (1) game. Whatever this next game the studio\u2019s working on is likely still many years away, as Laufey<\/em> doesn\u2019t even have a release date yet. There\u2019s also that God of War<\/em> trilogy remake ostensibly happening somewhere in between all this.<\/p>\n Kratos may not be playable in\u00a0Laufey<\/em>, but he has already made brief appearances in the gameplay trailer we saw earlier this year. How much of a role he plays in the game remains to be seen<\/a>, but considering Faye\u2019s goal in her game is to assist him and Atreus\u2019 journey from the afterlife and there appear to be a few direct connections between this game and the 2018 reboot, he\u2019ll probably be popping up at least a few more times.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n
