Santa Monica Studio officially revealed God of War Laufey in June 2026. This next mainline entry completely shifts the franchise focus and places Faye in the lead role. Specifically, the game follows her sudden awakening in a transcendent realm called the “Everywhen” shortly after her funeral in the 2018 reboot. Now, fresh evidence surfaced yesterday supporting a massive rumor. According to persistent leaks, Tyr might actually appear as a second playable character alongside Faye.
A Highly Credible God of War Laufey Leak
Claims regarding Tyr actually predate the game’s official reveal. Initially, an early leak stated that players would control both Faye and Tyr. Furthermore, this leak outlined a massive story spanning multiple different mythologies. It also detailed some highly unusual companions. Interestingly, the gaming community initially dismissed these stranger details. However, they became undeniable facts after the full PlayStation reveal.
For instance, developers officially confirmed that Faye travels with Phranque, described exactly as a “curious cosmic cube”. Moreover, she fights alongside Rue, an enchanted ribbon guardian directly connected to her new sword. Because the original leak accurately predicted these highly specific details before June, the claim about Tyr currently carries serious weight.
Voice Actor Drops Heavy Hints
The rumors surrounding Tyr recently caught fire once again. Diogo Morgado, the European Portuguese voice actor for Tyr, directly fueled this speculation. During a livestream reaction to the June State of Play, a fan asked Morgado about his potential involvement in God of War Laufey.
Instead of outright denying the claim, Morgado simply laughed. He immediately pointed out the restrictive nature of Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs). Shortly after, he told the livestream hosts that he would later rate how difficult it was to “bite his tongue” and avoid saying anything. Naturally, this conspicuously noncommittal response heavily implies his return to the franchise.
Bridging the Mythological Gap
Tyr makes perfect logical sense for this expanded setting. Historically, the Norse god loves traveling and exploring cultures far outside the Nine Realms. Therefore, he fits perfectly into a story where different pantheons collide. Santa Monica Studio already confirmed that the Everywhen brings diverse gods together, and they have already showcased figures like Sekhmet and Begtse.
However, a major timeline question still remains. ‘God of War Laufey’ begins after Faye’s death, while Tyr survives the events of ‘Ragnarok’. Fortunately, the Everywhen operates as a transcendent space entirely beyond familiar realms. Consequently, this unique cosmic convergence could easily explain how their paths cross. Ultimately, just as ‘God of War Ragnarok’ shifted between Kratos and Atreus, this new entry could seamlessly alternate perspectives between Faye and Tyr.
