Timeline Overview

Timeline is one of the first places God of War fans start arguing, and for good reason. Faye is already gone before God of War (2018), yet the reveal puts her center stage. The safest read right now is that Laufey will lean on Faye's past, aftermath, or a setting that bends the usual timeline rules rather than fitting into one clean box.

Before God of War (2018)

  • Faye lives in Jotunheim as "The Guardian"
  • Faye is linked to a legendary clash with Thor before the events of 2018
  • Faye meets Kratos in the Norse woods
  • Faye and Kratos marry, Atreus is born
  • Faye leaves behind markers and prophecies
  • Faye passes away (before the events of GoW 2018)

God of War (2018) Events

  • Kratos and Atreus spread Faye's ashes at the highest peak
  • Journey through Midgard, Alfheim, Helheim, and other realms
  • Atreus discovers he is Loki
  • The truth about Faye's Giant heritage is revealed
  • Fimbulwinter begins at the end

Ragnarök Events

  • Kratos and Atreus journey through the Nine Realms during Fimbulwinter
  • Atreus searches for Týr and his own path as Loki
  • Ragnarök — the prophesied end of the Norse world
  • Kratos survives, Atreus departs on his own journey
  • Asgard falls and Odin is defeated, leaving the Norse world changed rather than neatly finished

ℹ️ Timeline Placement

The exact placement of God of War Laufey is still unsettled. Right now the reveal supports two broad readings: a story pulling from Faye's life before 2018, or a new framework where the Everywhen lets her story exist alongside the aftermath of Ragnarök.
  • Faye is the playable lead in the reveal material
  • The Everywhen appears to pull multiple myth traditions into one space
  • Phranque travels with Faye throughout the shown footage
  • The game clearly draws on the aftermath and unresolved weight of the Norse saga
