God of War Laufey, a new spin-off title, will focus on Kratos' late wife, Faye, in the afterlife. The game is set shortly after her death in the 2018 God of War and appears to unfold simultaneously with that title. Santa Monica Studio's Cory Barlog explained that Faye's presence in the 2018 game was felt but not visually depicted, and Laufey will expand on her character and story. Faye will be joined by two new companions, Rue and Phranque, and the game promises to explore her relationship with Kratos across a metaphysical divide. Meanwhile, the studio is also working on a remake of the original trilogy and a live-action TV series for Prime Video. Laufey is set for PlayStation 5, though no release date has been announced.
