Kratos is taking a back seat in his own series, as God of War Laufey actually puts us in control of Faye, his former wife and the mother of Atreus. Although the spin-off is being led by a first-time director, she goes way back with the Greek warmonger, right back to when he was a very different man entirely.
Ariel Lawrence is the game director on God of War Laufey, but as she discusses with Cory Balrog, the head of creative at Santa Monica Studio, in a Sony interview, she's intimately familiar with the world of Kratos, helping put together a trailer for his first game ever. "That was back in the day when Kratos had a blue tattoo," she remembers.
