Gameplay
Faye's fighting style combines the direct force of the newer God of War games with much more mobility on the ground and in the air. Her arsenal includes a magic blade, abilities centered on manipulating souls and the Serpent Bow. The bow can be used on the move for quick shots or more precisely from a full draw; different arrow and bow effects expand the options for control, area damage and multiple targets.

Game series
Santa Monica Studio describes Laufey as the next main installment in the series. In the Norse saga, Faye was mainly present through her traces, memories and her significance for Kratos and Atreus; in Laufey she becomes the main character herself. Sony also describes the game as standalone playable, although God of War (2018) and God of War Ragnarök provide additional context.
