Here is the full text they posted on social media:
Since the reveal of God of War Laufey in June, we’ve been deeply grateful to see so much excitement for Faye’s journey through the Everywhen. We don’t take for granted the trust placed in our studio to make an extraordinary experience worthy of the passion and dedication of our fans.
With this in mind, we’ve made the decision to delay God of War Laufey‘s release to May 20, 2027.
We will make the most of each moment until then by putting in the finishing touches and pushing the game to its fullest potential.
On behalf of everyone on the team, we appreciate your patience and we’ll be back to share more updates soon!

This does mean the game misses a packed February which includes Metro 2039, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, Persona 4 Revival, and Fable.
The Digital Deluxe version of God of War Laufey will include, the Dark Alchemy armour set, the Dark Alchemy blade, the Dark Alchemy Bow Scales, Dark Alchemy Catalyst, an in-game resource pack, the digital mini artbook, and the official God of War Laufey digital soundtrack.
What’s this about a bow I hear you ask. Well, that’s Faye’s newest weapon. This bow is called the Serpent Bow, which can be wielded to attack enemies at range or do some close combat damage. The bow has two firing modes, precision and hip-fire, allowing you to utilise it in different ways.
Precision mode allows for players to aim at specific points on an enemy to take advantage of weaknesses. In this mode, up to five arrows can be stacked to fire. Hip-fire mode allows Faye to fire a volley of arrows quickly at enemies that are in close range. There are also different types of arrows to use including explosive and multitarget, so picking the right arrow for the job will be necessary. The bow can also be equipped with different scales that can change the perk associated with it, changing up playstyles. Armour choices will also impact the perks and stats of Faye’s weapons.
