‘It’s Deeply a Part of the Lore’ — God of War Laufey Star Deborah Ann Woll Reveals About That Cube

  • Actress Deborah Ann Woll revealed in a Comic Gaming magazine interview that Sony Santa Monica creative director Cory Barlog pitched the God of War Laufey project to her in 2018, nearly a decade ago.
  • Barlog had already conceptualized the game and its "talking Cube" sidekick during the original God of War launch, suggesting the title has been part of a wider narrative plan since the Norse saga's inception.
  • Woll confirmed the title is neither a prequel nor side story, but an "expansion" of the narrative told in the 2018 entry and God of War Ragnarök, designed to answer lingering mysteries.
  • While God of War Laufey lacks an official launch date, industry insiders including NateTheHate claim the project is aiming for the first half of 2027, making the long-gestating title seem more realistic.
  • Director Ariel Lawrence acknowledged fan skepticism regarding the shift in protagonist from Kratos to his wife Faye, stating she "understands" the reaction but hopes players will give the new perspective a chance.
