Every Official God of War Laufey Trailer (Catalog)

The first official God of War Laufey trailer is the State of Play gameplay reveal, published on the PlayStation YouTube channel in June 2026. It was the announcement vehicle for the game, and it is the source most media outlets cited when covering the reveal. The trailer runs roughly in line with a first-look gameplay cut, combining in-engine combat footage with cinematic framing.

What this trailer shows:

  • Faye's introduction as the protagonist and her combat style with a magic-infused sword.
  • Glimpses of the Everywhen as a multi-mythology afterlife, including Egyptian and Mongolian / Tibetan deity imagery in the boss silhouettes.
  • Two confirmed opening bosses: Sekhmet (the Egyptian goddess of war) and Begtse (the Mongolian / Tibetan god of war).
  • Companions Phranque (a cosmic cube voiced by Jack Quaid) and Rue (an enchanted ribbon guardian voiced by Perlina Lau) appearing alongside Faye.
  • The first public confirmation that Kratos is not a playable character in this entry, with Christopher Judge returning to voice Kratos.

Combat First Look Trailer

The second official God of War Laufey trailer is the Combat First Look, published on the official PlayStation YouTube channel after the State of Play reveal. It is a tighter cut focused specifically on Faye's combat system rather than the cinematic story framing of the reveal trailer.

What this trailer shows:

  • The three combat pillars in action: speed, control, and relentlessness, per the PlayStation Blog first-look post.
  • Faye's legendary sword with magic-infused slashes, used as the primary weapon across the cut.
  • Air-to-ground fluidity, with combat shown moving between vertical platforming and grounded enemy engagements.
  • Brief enemy variety frames that point to the multi-mythology setting, including a visible Egyptian-aligned silhouette consistent with Sekhmet.
  • A heavier emphasis on dodge, parry, and chained abilities than on heavy retaliation, contrasting with Kratos's heavier combat palette in the 2018 Norse duology.

Meet The Cast Behind-The-Scenes Video

The third official God of War Laufey trailer is the Meet The Cast behind-the-scenes video, also on the PlayStation YouTube channel. It is a cast-and-crew short rather than a gameplay cut, and it is the primary on-record source for the voice cast reveal.

What this trailer shows:

  • Deborah Ann Woll reprising the role of Faye / Laufey after her turn in God of War Ragnarök (2022).
  • Christopher Judge confirmed as Kratos, continuing the role he took on in the 2018 God of War.
  • Jack Quaid voicing Phranque, the cosmic cube companion.
  • Perlina Lau voicing Rue, the enchanted ribbon guardian assigned to protect a devastatingly powerful sword.
  • Brief creator commentary from the Santa Monica Studio team on naming Faye as the protagonist of this entry.

SDCC 2026 Release-Date Trailer (July 24, 2026)

A fourth official God of War Laufey trailer — the release-date trailer — was published around the SDCC 2026 panel on July 24, 2026, alongside the announcement of the February 16, 2027 release date. The trailer is covered by Gematsu and IGN.

What this trailer shows:

  • The February 16, 2027 release date lock, the first worldwide PS5 launch date on the public record.
  • Re-cut gameplay and story beats from the State of Play reveal, reframed around the launch date.
  • Additional storytelling texture leading into Faye's role as the protagonist of the Everywhen journey.
  • Confirmation that a physical disc ships alongside the digital edition on launch day.

The exact runtime and a direct PlayStation YouTube link have not been consolidated into the same record as the other three videos on the official PlayStation YouTube channel at the time of writing. Gematsu and IGN both carry the trailer as embedded video on their SDCC coverage, and the canonical embed lives on the PlayStation YouTube channel alongside the other three.

Is there a launch trailer yet?

No. There is no God of War Laufey gameplay-launch trailer as of 2026-08-04. The four videos above are the full official catalog, and none of them are positioned as a final launch-day cut. Sony's prior PlayStation Studios launches typically pair the launch day with a launch trailer released on or near the release date, but no such trailer is on the record for Laufey.

There is also no demo, no early-access gameplay reveal, and no pre-launch hands-on preview available outside of the cutscenes and combat moments in the four videos above. If a launch-day trailer is produced, it is most likely to ship on the PlayStation YouTube channel on or near February 16, 2027.

Where can I watch the official trailers?

Every official God of War Laufey trailer is hosted on the PlayStation YouTube channel. The four videos above are the canonical source. Media outlets, including IGN, Polygon, Gematsu, and Comicbook.com, also embed the trailers inside their coverage, but the canonical video file is on the PlayStation YouTube channel in every case.

Pirated re-uploads, fan edits, and gameplay breakdowns appear on secondary YouTube channels and on community threads, but these are not the official record. For trailers, behind-the-scenes footage, and cast reveals, the PlayStation YouTube channel and the original trailers embedded inside IGN, Polygon, and Gematsu articles are the authoritative sources as of 2026-08-04.

Fact Boundaries

  • Current-game (confirmed): four official trailers are on the record — State of Play gameplay reveal (June 2026), Combat First Look, Meet The Cast, and the SDCC July 24, 2026 release-date trailer (Gematsu, IGN). All four are hosted on the PlayStation YouTube channel. The cast, the combat pillars, and the two confirmed opening bosses (Sekhmet, Begtse) are visible across the trailer set.
  • Legacy / attribution: no legacy material referenced beyond the cast lineage (Deborah Ann Woll reprising from Ragnarök 2022; Christopher Judge from the 2018 God of War onward), which is presented as a current-game fact via the PlayStation Blog and IGN, not as legacy lore.
  • Unannounced as of 2026-08-04: a gameplay-launch trailer, the next trailer's release date, demo gameplay footage, early-access footage, an opening cinematic film, and any B-roll sizzle or pre-order trailer. The exact SDCC release-date trailer runtime and a consolidated PlayStation YouTube embed have not been authoritatively collected into a single record.
  • Forward-pointer: a separate Kratos-led God of War game is announced to release after Laufey (per Polygon, IGN, GameSpot, and Sony Santa Monica Studio on X). Its trailers are not part of this game's record.
