Santa Monica Provides Official Update on God of War Laufey Release Date

Developer Santa Monica Studio has officially given fans an update on the disc's status and release date. Laufey, God of WarIt was brought up as fans wanted to know. Of course, fans are demanding to know, as PlayStation recently announced that it would end physical disc production in January 2028 and set its PlayStation 6 console to be digital-only.

In fact, not long ago PlayStation announced physical discs (and confirmed it was closing the PS3/PS Vita PlayStation Store) and many fans weren't happy at all. The resulting backlash, from physical collectors to digital ownership issues, left the PlayStation Twitter account quieter than ever for several days. Things seem to be getting back to normal as there are still a lot of angry fans, but it's still forcing a lot of developers to follow.

Ultimately, this is confirmed. Laufey, God of War As a 2027 game, despite PlayStation and Santa Monica largely avoiding the topic. All new games released after January 2028 will have no discs, so Santa Monica has a tight deadline. Previously, Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier suggested: Laufey, God of War It is scheduled to be released in early 2027, around February or March. Given that Laufey, God of War It's been planned for a long time, and Santa Monica Studio had a lot to show when the company first revealed the game, but that's not particularly surprising.

However, it's worth noting that fans shouldn't necessarily expect hard news. Laufey, God of War It comes from the panel. There should be some good insight into these characters to fit the scope outlined (BTS story and character focus), but hard video game news doesn't come up often on panels. It would be nice to see a new trailer, announcement, or content included, but we'll just have to wait and see.

of course, Laufey, God of War It's scheduled to come (in physical form) in 2027, so fans will be hearing from me in the coming months. Gamescom 2026 is just around the corner. If PlayStation isn't planning a showcase later in the summer, it wouldn't be surprising to see more information there.
