God of War: Laufey gameplay trailer gave us a lot
The biggest one for me is: Why is Faye in the Everywhen at all?
From what we’ve been told, the Everywhen is supposed to be the afterlife of the gods. But Faye wasn’t a god. She was a Giant. A powerful Giant, sure, but still a Giant. So does the Everywhen only accept gods, or is it a realm for all divine beings? Could it be a place where souls that don’t quite fit into their “assigned” afterlife end up? Or is there some larger destiny at work that even Faye couldn’t foresee?
I’m also curious about what the Everywhen actually is.
Is it a place between life and whatever comes after? A crossroads for souls? A realm where gods and divine beings search for purpose? Or is it something even stranger?
And speaking of the Everywhen…
How big is this place?
Is it effectively endless? We already saw what looked like gods from completely different mythologies interacting there. If that’s true, we may be looking at the biggest setting God of War has ever attempted.
Another thing I noticed: the dragon-like god Faye fought didn’t seem to go down the way gods usually do in the series. That raises a huge question. Can beings in the Everywhen actually die? Or are they trapped in some kind of cycle?
As for the story timeline, do you think this game only runs parallel to God of War (2018), or will it eventually catch up to Ragnarok? Could this be the first part of a larger Faye story?
And finally: What are the chances we’re actually playing this sooner rather than later?
We’ve already gotten story details, a reveal, and gameplay footage. Personally, I don’t think we’ll get it this year, but I’m starting to wonder if Summer 2027 is realistic.
What are your theories?
Why is Faye in the Everywhen?
What exactly is the Everywhen?
What kind of Giant magic does she actually possess?
Can beings there die?
And how much of Kratos and Atreus do you think we’ll see?
