Insider claims God of War Laufey will likely release in Feb/March next year

Over the past many months we’ve seen tons of different video game developers / publishers either shying away from announcing their game’s release dates, or in some cases delaying the titles from their initial launch in order to get out of the way of gaming juggernaut GTA VI. According to trusted insiders, one such title is the recently-announced God of War Laufey, with claims being made that the title will likely arrive sometime in February or March 2027.

In recent weeks, notable and trusted industry insider Jason Schreier has been taking to YouTube to share his thoughts on various industry happenings. Having close ties to many studios / developers across the market, Schreier’s statements come with a great deal more weight than your average analyst.

During a video discussing ‘Why Grand Theft Auto VI is scaring off other games’ Schreier spoke briefly on the recently-announced God of War Laufey, stating: “If you're a God of War Laufey, for example, you might look at the landscape and you might say, ‘Hey, I feel like this this is going to be our big tentpole release, it's going to be a really good game. It's going to be well reviewed. It's got a lot of really interesting things going for it. We should be able to get a bunch of media attention.’ And that's not going to happen if you release anywhere near GTA 6.”

In terms of when Laufey might be expected to release instead, Schreier continued, “some of those games will inevitably slip and what's going to happen is that February and March will be super crowded. We're going to see a lot of games that, I mean I mentioned God of War Laufey. I wouldn't be surprised if that gets announced for February or March pretty soon.”

Of course, this is just an educated guess from Schreier, and so it shouldn’t be taken as official confirmation. That said, Sony has been embracing the earlier months of each year – particularly during this current generation – with some of its biggest titles launching during Q1 (Helldivers 2; Horizon Forbidden West; Returnal; Gran Turismo 7 etc…).

So, when will God of War Laufey officially come out? We will have to wait and see, but it wouldn’t be surprising for Sony to give us a release date after GTA VI is actually out and no longer serving as a spectre across the industry.
