God of War Laufey pre-orders will open on September 29 at 10:00 a.m. local time, ahead of the game’s February 16, 2027 release on PlayStation 5. Santa Monica Studio confirmed the timing while detailing the game’s pre-order bonuses and Digital Deluxe Edition on the PlayStation Blog. The studio also revealed new information about Faye’s combat, including her Serpent Bow and its different firing modes.
Players who pre-order God of War Laufey before launch will receive the Last Wish Armor Set, a Phranque Golden Leaves Appearance cosmetic and an in-game resource pack. The pre-order bonuses apply to purchases before the game’s release, while the physical Standard Edition includes the bonuses through a download code. Sony has not announced pricing in the latest post.
The Digital Deluxe Edition includes the full game along with the Dark Alchemy Armor Set, Dark Alchemy Blade, Dark Alchemy Bow Scales and Dark Alchemy Catalyst. It also includes an additional in-game resource pack, a digital mini artbook and the official God of War Laufey digital soundtrack. The latest announcement therefore gives players a clear breakdown of the additional content available through the premium digital edition before pre-orders begin.
The new combat details focus on Faye’s Serpent Bow, an enchanted weapon that can shift rapidly between a dormant and ready state. Fully pressing the aim trigger activates a precision mode that increases draw distance and allows Faye to target specific points on enemies, while a half press enables a more mobile hip-fire stance for close-range attacks. The bow can also use different arrow types, including rapid-fire, explosive and multi-target attacks.
The weapon is tied to a broader equipment system that lets players customize Faye’s combat style. Serpent Scales change the bow’s appearance and provide different perks, while unlockable skills expand its capabilities as players progress. Faye can also customize her blade, bow scales and catalysts, with armor providing different stats, perks and appearances.
God of War Laufey was first revealed in June as the next mainline entry in the series, with Faye taking the lead role in a story set after her funeral.

God of War Laufey is scheduled to launch exclusively on PlayStation 5 on February 16, 2027. With pre-orders beginning September 29, the latest announcement moves the game into its formal sales period while providing a closer look at the systems and equipment that will distinguish Faye’s combat from the series’ previous protagonists.
