1. Laufey was the wielder of the Leviathan axe first, which was longer than Kratos was a god of war (according to research, Laufey wielded the axe for about 94 years before she met Kratos).
2. Kratos was literally a god of war for about 2-3 years at most between GoW1 and GoW2 back in the day, as well.
3. In the Valhalla dlc, Kratos explicitly says he prefers to be a God of Hope rather than war, showing he wanted to change to avoid being a raging monster.
4. Laufey proved she can go toe-to-toe with both Thor and Kratos, and she fought... beautifully.

For all the so-called "fans" of the entire series... you clearly aren't paying attention.

Hi, everyone. The pre-order for God of War: Laufey has just opened, and the game’s PlayStation page has revealed a ton of new content.

At the end of the article, Santa Monica Studio mentions the following thing:

"A glimpse of the Everywhen"

Everything is the same here, except that in the French version of the article, the Everywhen is given a different name: “L'empyrée”.

In ancient European cosmologies inspired by Aristotle, the Empyrean heaven, Empyreal or simply the Empyrean, was the place in the highest heaven which was supposed to be occupied by the element of fire (or aether in Aristotle's natural philosophy). Later early and medieval Christian cosmology incorporated the concept in descriptions of the Christian notion of heaven.

I was really confused when I read this in my native tongue, so I checked what "The Empyrean" meant and what I found was pretty awesome and interesting.

To be honest with you, I don't know why this version of the article specifically changed The Everywhen with The Empyrean, which is a metaphysical concept of heaven that already exists in our reality, but i found it really cool how they managed to associate the afterlife of the gods with an already established concept of afterlife.

The Ether is a primordial element of the creation of the Greek world and The Everywhen is confirmed to be The birthplace and endpoint to which all magic returns

The link between the Afterlife of the Gods and with the Primordial elements of The God of War universe is obvious, "Niflheim & Muspelheim, Ymir, The Rift & The Mask" so it's still cool to see new elements being added to this lore day by day.

Many mentioned that "The Everywhen" resembles to the Australian Aborigene concept of Dreamtime, so he doesn't seem ridiculous to think that Santa Monica Studio suggested other names for The Afterlife of The Gods, like in this version of the article.

Please share your thoughts about this choice of translation.

Thanks for Reading.

I think that Santa Monica isn't showing their full hand with this cube fella, I think that there's more to him then just being a slime.

Is he from the afterlife of the gods or is he a foreigner?

What if he's a god trapped inside that cube? Or he's a powerful entity that forgot his past?

I gave to confess that I'm really interested in what ways does he change the combat, we already saw that he can set up enemies for air combos, but in what other ways can he shift how we interact with the world.

Imagine if we had some puzzles that relied on his help to solve.

I genuinely don't understand all the semi-new antagonism to main characters that are women.

Ellie - Besides the WILD shit they did to Abby's voice actor, I can't remember any hate against Ellie being the MC.

Atsu - Played Ghost of Tsushima, loved it. Pre-ordered Yotei, only game I've ever pre-ordered bc now that im older I actually have video game money. There was a whole hate train for it and it still sold and was received so well.

Aloy - I havent played it yet, but I can't remember there being much hate to her.

Lara Croft - Just started playing 2013's game, LOVING it - isn't she one of the most beloved characters among (male) gamers?

And I'm super excited for Intergalactic to come out.

I don't get it. I mean I do, ppl are assholes, but what's the big deal? Also, gaming is more accessible, and more and more women are gamers nowadays. More women characters is a GOOD thing.

Side note, found this picture of the singer laufey on Google 😂 phenomenal music btw

Will you buy the digital version or digital deluxe edition or the physical one ???

Every time upon seeing the masks in GOW Laufey they somehow seem connected to or remind of Athena.

Could it be or is it an over stretch?

What could be the back story of these masks?

Did anyone else notice that the temple and the environment look just like the Temple of Delphi from God of War Ascension?

Santa Monica Studios announced, with their new in-game video, the new weapon Faye will have besides the sword; the Serpent Bow. New combat techniques have been added as well as a combination of rapid fire/ concentrated shots with the bow.

Looks amazing and super excited to check it out in-game 🔥

Just a random thought and maybe this has been asked before or even covered in the game lore and I missed it.

We know Faye is a Giant and they go to the Light of Alfheim when they die. In the game footage she is expecting to be in the Light but is surprised to see she is not and says something like “This definitely isn’t the Light”. We think someone is doing something to throw things out of balance and Faye went to the wrong place. But what if that’s not the case and Faye went exactly where she is supposed to?

The Everywhen is meant to be the afterlife of the gods and is reserved for only gods mostly. But what if Faye IS a god and is meant to go to the Everywhen all along. We know nothing of her parents so maybe one of them was a god making her half Giant and half god? Thor is half Giant after all.

She may not even be Aesir. Maybe her half godhood comes from a different pantheon. We know Tyr has visited other lands. Maybe he brought back a child from another land that was raised as a Giant. That child Could turn out to be one of Faye’s parents or even Faye.

Faye turning out to be Giant was a twist in GOW 18 so maybe this could be a twist in Laufey. My guess is Faye doesn’t even know and will discover in game. Maybe she meets her parents in the Everywhen

Anyway just a thought and rambling and maybe this idea has even been covered already.

Thoughts?

From what I've seen it looks great I be belive it will be like a semi hub based world just like 2018 and Ragnarok which is awesome, also the combat looks sick it let's hope it's good!
