Pre-orders for God of War Laufey will open on September 29 at 10am local time, ahead of the game's release on PlayStation 5 on February 16, 2027. Santa Monica Studio has detailed the pre-order bonuses and contents of the Digital Deluxe Edition, along with new information about the game's combat system and Faye's Serpent Bow.

Faye's Serpent Bow and Combat Features

Santa Monica Studio has also outlined how Faye's Serpent Bow will work. The weapon has two firing styles: Precision mode and hip-fire mode.

Precision mode uses a full press of the aim trigger, allowing players to target specific enemy body parts, interrupt attacks and charge up to five arrows for a stronger volley. Hip-fire mode uses a half press of the same trigger, letting Faye fire clusters of arrows while moving and maintaining combat combos.

Players will also be able to customise the bow with different arrow types, including rapid-fire, explosive and multi-target options. Its Scales can change its appearance and provide different perks, while unlockable skills will expand its combat capabilities.

Faye's equipment system will also include armour, blade customisation and magical Catalysts. These items can affect stats and perks, giving players different ways to approach combat.
