God of War Laufey comes to PS5 on February 16, 2027, with preorders set to begin September 29 at 10 a.m. local time. Alongside the edition details, Santa Monica Studio has explained how Faye’s Serpent Bow switches between measured volleys and faster shots on the move.
Snackgirls react
Red: I want to see how quickly those half-aim shots fit into a close-range combo. That’s the side of the bow I’d try first.
Nea: I’m curious whether a carefully placed volley can disrupt an enemy attack. Choosing when to take that extra aiming time sounds satisfying.
What comes with a preorder
Preordering before launch includes the Last Wish Armor Set, the cosmetic Phranque Golden Leaves Appearance, and an in-game resource pack. The bonus is available with a physical Standard Edition through a download code, which requires internet access and a PlayStation account. In-game items unlock as the story progresses.
What Digital Deluxe adds
The Digital Deluxe Edition lists the Dark Alchemy Armor Set, Dark Alchemy Blade, Dark Alchemy Bow Scales, Dark Alchemy Catalyst, an in-game resource pack, a digital mini artbook, and the official digital soundtrack. Those Deluxe extras are separate from the preorder bonus; the preorder bonus is not exclusive to Deluxe.
Five arrows when aiming, faster shots up close
With full aim, the Serpent Bow can stack up to five arrows for a precision volley. Hits on targeted areas may hinder an enemy’s movement or attacks. Half-aim trades that setup for quick, mobile close-range clusters that can juggle enemies and extend combos. Equippable Scales change both the bow’s appearance and its gameplay perk.
If you’re choosing an edition, compare the preorder bonus with the Deluxe contents and check your local PlayStation store for availability.
