Sony Santa Monica has announced that God of War Laufey has been hit with a fairly sizeable three-month delay, with a new release date of May 20.
The impending release of the biggest video game in history (Grand Theft Auto 6, if I even have to say it) has had a massive impact on both 2026's and 2027's release calendars. On the 2026 side, September was absolutely stuffed with notable releases, including The Blood of Dawnwalker, Marvel's Wolverine, and Onimusha: Way of the Sword, while 2027 has made February the new hot spot for launches.
For some time now, February of next year has looked like an absolute monstrosity for gamers thanks to Persona 4 Revival, Metro 2039, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, Fable, and my personal most-anticipated, God of War Laufey. It was really only a matter of time before one of those games packed its bags for later in the year and, lucky me, it's the next God of War that's being shifted.
