When the new God of War Laufey game was announced, part of the fandom was concerned about Kratos’ fate, i.e., whether his role in the grand saga ended with God of War: Ragnarok. However, Cory Barlog has now put the doubts to rest by reassuring us that we will have more God of War games featuring Kratos in the future.

Before the leaks about the God of War game starring Faye emerged online, there were heavy rumors that Kratos was heading to Egypt next in a new God of War game. However, Cory Barlog didn’t share anything about where the story will take Kratos next in the upcoming installment.

Santa Monica will likely announce the new Kratos game only after the release of God of War Laufey. However, the upcoming Faye game doesn’t have a release date yet, and it is expected to arrive in 2028 for now. So, fans can now relax and rejoice as there are new Kratos games in the works. But we have to patiently wait until the Santa Monica team shares a glimpse of Kratos’ upcoming journey.
