Story and lore
God of War Laufey changes Faye from legend to protagonist
God of War Laufey begins from a premise that immediately answers why the new game matters: death was supposed to close Faye's story, yet the next chapter begins after her funeral. In God of War (2018), Faye's absence shaped the journey of Kratos and Atreus. God of War Ragnarok expanded her emotional presence through memory and prophecy. God of War Laufey finally lets players follow Laufey herself, not only the people who loved her.
The official God of War Laufey setup says Faye wakes in a strange land after death and learns that the protections she left behind for Kratos and Atreus are at risk. That makes the game both a personal rescue mission and a lore expansion. The God of War Laufey wiki should therefore treat Faye as more than a trivia answer. She is the Guardian of the Jotnar, a rebel leader against the Aesir, a warrior strong enough to be legendary among Giants, and now the playable heart of a story about what happens when gods die.
The central location is the Everywhen. PlayStation describes it as the afterlife of the gods, while Santa Monica Studio frames it as the birthplace and endpoint to which all magic returns. For a God of War Laufey guide, that detail is important because it explains why gods from different mythologies can appear together without turning the story into a simple trip from Norse myth to one new pantheon. The Everywhen is above the realms players already know, and its disrupted magic may be the reason Faye cannot simply return home.
Known enemies and figures include Sekhmet and Begtse, which points toward a wider mythological mix. God of War Laufey also introduces companions Phranque and Rue. Phranque is described as a curious cosmic cube with an earnest disposition; Rue is an enchanted ribbon guardian tied to a powerful sword. Those details matter because they give the new game a different party texture than the Kratos and Atreus journey while keeping the series' focus on character bonds.

Wiki approach
When new trailers or PlayStation Blog updates arrive, this God of War Laufey wiki should add the exact date, source, and whether each point is confirmed or inferred.
