God of War: Laufey pre-orders available starting September 29
Pre-orders for God of War: Laufey officially go live on September 29. Santa Monica Studio has revealed the details of various editions and provided a fresh look at Faye's combat mechanics, highlighting her versatile weaponry and skill sets.
The game is set to launch on PlayStation 5 on February 16, 2027. Players who pre-order before the release will receive a bonus pack containing the Last Wish Armor Set, the Phranque Golden Leaves Appearance, and an in-game resource pack.
For those looking for more content, the Digital Deluxe Edition includes the Dark Alchemy Armor Set (comprising the armor, blade, bow scales, and catalyst), a resource pack, a digital mini artbook, and the official digital soundtrack.
A major highlight of the reveal is the Serpent Bow, an enchanted weapon that shifts like a serpent. The bow features two distinct modes: Precision mode (full-aim), allowing for long-distance shots and stacking up to five arrows for a powerful volley, and Hip-fire mode (half-aim), designed for mobile, close-range combat. Players can further customize the weapon using different Scales, which alter its appearance and provide unique perks, alongside various arrow types like explosive or multi-target shots.
Faye's combat versatility extends to her gear customization. Players can modify her Blade, Scales, and Catalysts—powerful artifacts capable of channeling the magic of the Everywhen. These customizable elements allow for deep tactical adjustments, letting players tailor Faye's stats and playstyle to suit their preferred combat approach.
The latest update from Santa Monica Studio emphasizes the depth of the combat system. The Serpent Bow is designed to be more than just a ranged tool; it is a centerpiece for seamless combos. By switching between aiming modes and utilizing various abilities, Faye can maintain pressure on enemies both from a distance and in close-quarters combat.
The customization of gear is central to the gameplay experience. Equipping different Scales for the bow or selecting specific Catalyst artifacts allows players to manipulate the magic of the Everywhen to their advantage. From the Blade to various magical artifacts, every piece of equipment offers players the ability to shape Faye's combat effectiveness and playstyle.
