God of War: Laufey Delayed, New Release Date Revealed
Santa Monica Studio has officially announced a delay for God of War: Laufey, giving the development team more time to polish the game and put the finishing touches on the experience before launch. This pushes the game’s release date from February 16, 2027, to May 20, 2027.
God of War: Laufey Delays Its Release
It’s not uncommon to see studios delay games for all sorts of reasons these days. However, when developers make the decision to give themselves more time to polish and improve their games, it can lead to some pretty amazing results. This isn’t the kind of delay we saw with GTA 6.
We’ve seen plenty of games suffer from rushed development cycles, and the results are rarely pretty. So, in our book, giving developers more time to get things right is never a bad thing.
No Rest for the Wicked recently took a similar approach, and the extra development time allowed the team to implement an entirely new class system. Plus, FromSoftware is delaying The Duskbloods for the same reason. Who knows what Santa Monica Studio might have up its sleeve? A few extra months could make a big difference for God of War: Laufey, and we’re certainly curious to see what the team does with that time.
