Hey, Daily Quest readers.
The God of War hype train is picking up serious speed. New details are emerging about the next entry in the franchise, and they're painting a picture that sounds genuinely exciting. According to MP1st, the next God of War game is a spin-off starring Faye as the main playable character, with the story diving into Chinese and Japanese mythologies. If those details hold up, this could be one of the boldest directions the series has ever taken. Here's everything we know so far, why it matters, and when we might actually hear something official.
Chinese And Japanese Mythologies Are Reportedly At The Center
MP1st confirmed the East-Asian mythology angle directly in their report:
"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."
They also noted that game development is always subject to change, but expect those mythological settings to make it into the final product.
For a franchise that has already tackled Greek and Norse mythology with such incredible depth, seeing God of War explore Chinese and Japanese lore feels like a natural and exciting evolution.
Faye And Tyr Could Both Be Playable
Beyond the setting, MP1st also backed up earlier rumors that the spin-off will feature two playable characters — potentially Faye and Tyr.
A leaker who first surfaced these claims all the way back in 2023 also pointed to the same two characters, which adds a bit more credibility to the report.
Faye was portrayed by Deborah Ann Woll in God of War Ragnarok, and fans are already hoping she reprises her role here. Since Faye passed away before the events of God of War (2018), any game centered around her would function as a prequel — though the exact timeline is still unclear.
An Announcement Could Be Coming Very Soon
Here's the exciting part: insider Tom Henderson has already claimed the next God of War game will be announced this month. That means we could be days away from an official reveal.
What we know so far:
- Spin-off featuring Faye as the lead
- Tyr possibly playable alongside her
- Chinese and Japanese mythologies confirmed as settings
- Potential release window of first half of 2027
- Announcement reportedly coming this month
A 2027 release makes sense strategically too. Keeping a massive title like this away from GTA 6's November window is just smart business, even if God of War would absolutely hold its own.
Final Thoughts
Faye leading a God of War spin-off through East-Asian mythology sounds like a recipe for something truly special. If Santa Monica Studio can capture that same magic they brought to Norse mythology, this could be an absolute masterpiece.
