God of War Laufey Release Date Narrowed Down By Reliable Source

[RW YuukiKING]

 

Known and trusted Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier has commented on a more precise release date window for God of War Laufey. As many know, Schreier is well-informed and probably the most reliable source in the industry, and he's been commenting on God of War Laufey here and there since its initial reveal.

 

It's worth mentioning that the negative reception online to God of War Laufey's reveal, centered on how it moves away from Kratos and to his wife Laufey, among other complaints, is only a small portion of potential consumers. Many are excited about the upcoming game, and it goes a long way in supporting developer Santa Monica Studio's vision for the franchise. After all, as recently revealed, Santa Monica has been planning God of War Laufey since 2018.

 

In a recent video discussing the upcoming release of GTA 6 and how developers/games are moving to avoid its release, Schreier brought up God of War Laufey (around the 7-minute mark above). In his own words, he stated that he would not be "surprised if God of War Laufey gets announced for February or March 2027 pretty soon." He previously stated that God of War Laufey was not years away from release, pointing toward 2027 as its window, but narrowing it down to two months is even better. And it makes sense. That gives PlayStation the rest of the year to market it and the start of next year to ship it.

 

 

It seems many studios have deemed February 2027 as the safe zone to begin releasing again, with Metro 2039, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, Persona 4 Revival, and Fable all slated for February 2027 release dates. In the case of Fable, it was all but outright stated that the delay was to avoid GTA 6.

 

Nothing is confirmed for March yet, which may be appealing to Santa Monica just because other delays into February remain possible (although that is also true of March). It's worth pointing out that April could still roughly fit into this window, and it could be appealing as well since God of War 2018 was released in April 2018. Since there are deep connections between God of War 2018 and God of War Laufey, it makes sense to release them both in April. But whenever its release date is, at least according to Schreier, fans may know sooner rather than later.
