God Of War Laufey’s Director Talks Fan Skepticism, New Ideas, And Phranque The Cube

God Of War Laufey’s Director Talks Fan Skepticism, New Ideas, And Phranque The Cube https://ift.tt/31ZjLzq The showstopper at PlayStation's State of Play was a new entry in the God of War franchise. However, instead of introducing Kratos's newest adventure, Santa Monica Studio revealed God of War Laufey, which, as indicated by the title, shifts its focus to Faye, a hero and warrior in her own right, to tell a tale that runs parallel to the events of the 2018 God of War reboot.
