Report: God of War Faye Spin-Off Claimed to Feature Tyr and Multiple Mythologies
It’s been four years since Santa Monica Studios has released God of War Ragnarok, and since then, the studio has kept silent on what they’re working on.
While nothing has been announced so far, rumors have surfaced that Santa Monica is working on a new entry in the franchise, though one that’s a spinoff that stars Faye and not everyone’s angry dad, Kratos.
It seems the rumors surrounding the God of War spinoff game is gaining steam, as more info about it has surfaced, and we here at MP1st have also spotted new references to the project as well.
God of War Faye Game – What We Know So Far
A report way back in 2023 from FandomWire mentioned how the spinoff game will feature two main characters, and it won’t include Kratos, though it mentions how the Spartan hero will still make an appearance somehow.
Since that article went up, the author has since corrected some of the info, and in a comment from a now-deleted Reddit post clarified how the prequel will star Faye (Kratos’ deceased wife) and not Freya as they were led to believe initially, as well as Tyr (the Norse God of War).
The comment also mentions how the player will have a companion that’s some kind of “gelatinous cube.” A talking sword will also be present in the game, which is said to be Merlin (yes, that’s odd, we agree).
In addition to that, the prequel will also explore several mythologies such as Mayan and more, which isn’t surprising to those who played God of War 2018.
At the very least, we here at MP1st can confirm that East-Asian mythologies will be part of it, as we’ve heard that elements from Chinese and Japanese mythologies will be part of a new entry in the series. Having said that, game development is a fickle thing, and as such, things are always subject to change, though we expect those to be present in the final version of the title.
Further adding fuel to the fire of this spinoff is that Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson said in a podcast that he has heard the next mainline God of War game (which we presume to be this game) will be announced this month, stating, “so i also, heard separately like last month that the god of war was due to be announced very soon, and in april as well… …the next mainline one.”
Same as always, treat rumors with a grain of salt. That said, if Sony announces a new State of Play or PlayStation presentation this month, don’t be surprised if a new God of War game starring Faye is part of the surprise reveals.

Couldn’t care less about modern GoW, especially the boring Norse stuff. Couldn’t hope for a flop more than a game starring it’s side characters, especially Faye. It’s a recipe for a boring disaster.
Though I respect your opinion, you didn’t really provide any context other than you just personally don’t like it. But how does it benefit you if the game flops? Just don’t play it lol. Wishing ill on the projects that others worked hard on just because it’s not your taste is more reflective of you than it is of the game.
