Cory Barlog has shared an early clue about where the God of War series is heading next. Speaking during a panel at San Diego Comic-Con, the Santa Monica Studio creative lead said the next mainline God of War game starring Kratos will continue on from the events of God of War Laufey.
The update suggests that God of War Laufey is not being treated as a side story with no wider impact. Instead, Barlog indicated that the Faye-focused project is being built to connect directly into the franchise's next major chapter.
That link may be the biggest takeaway for fans following the series' future. According to Barlog, the work the team is doing on the Laufey game is meant to lay the groundwork for what comes after, making it part of a larger narrative path rather than a separate detour.
No release timing or gameplay details for the next Kratos-led God of War were included in the panel comments. Still, the confirmation that God of War Laufey will set up the next installment gives players a clearer sense of how Santa Monica Studio is planning the series' story.
