The next God of War game, God of War Laufey, has been officially revealed, but despite no hint of a release window, a reliable journalist suggests we won't be waiting too long before it's in our hands.

God of War Laufey was definitely the biggest announcement to come from yesterday's PlayStation State of Play, with 20 minutes of footage showcasing protagonist Faye – Kratos's dead wife – being sent to the afterlife of the gods, the Everywhen, and immediately finding herself taking on two enemy gods. Notably, though, no release window was given – not even a year – with its PlayStation Store page simply saying that it's "announced" with its "release date to be determined."

With that in mind, you'd be forgiven for thinking that Laufey might be a more distant release, but according to Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier, that might not be the case. Taking to Bluesky after the game's reveal, he writes: "FWIW I wouldn't read too much into God of War Laufey not getting a release date or window – in contrast to a lot of other big announcements, this one *isn't* years away."
