God of War Laufey has been a long time coming, Deborah Ann Woll has revealed that the game will be coming from 2018. In fact, the version of the game she pitched seems pretty faithful to the final product, as she recalls seeing a poster depicting both Faye and Franke, the Cube.
Speaking at a Game Con Canada panel attended by CGMagazine, Woll was asked about his starring role in the next God of War game. Here, we get a few more details, including a good idea of how long God of War has been on the developer's mind.
Deborah Ann Woll was told she was getting her own God of War game in 2018, but it was in the works long ago.
“I've known about this for about ten years, and I haven't been able to talk about it,” Woll told the crowd at Game Con Canada. “[Cory Barlog] Pitched it to me in 2018, and they already knew about it. It's wild.”
Even better, it sounds like Barlog even showed him what would be the cover art for God of War Laufey. “When Corey brought me in to talk about doing Ragnarok and showing the 2018 game, he already had a Laufey game poster and a cube with me. A cube that's been there since the beginning. It's deeply part of the lore.”
Backs up what the devs previously revealed about Leufe's development. Director Ariel Lawrence has said that Frank was “always” part of the story, and was one of the “first things” the team did. So, when Woll was told about the game eight years ago, he was very present.
It also fits when the game itself takes place chronologically. We know that it will run concurrently with both God of War (2018) and God of War Ragnarok, so it makes a lot of sense that the devs got the idea for this game towards the end of the former's development. It also makes sense that they then expanded Faye's character in Ragnarok – and made sure to get Woll onboard to play Faye there and in her own game.
Lord Laufe currently does not have an official release window, but it is expected to be with us next year.
