The final reveal during the State of Play, and also the longest one was the new God of War game, God of War: Laufey. In the game, you play as Laufey (or "Faye"), the second wife of Kratos. It appears to be the first God of War game that focuses on a character other than Kratos (and no, I'm not counting that obscure mobile game from 2007, no one is).
Now in the modern day and age, if the playable character of a game is a woman, there's about a 50/50 chance that the trailer will be dislike-bombed out the wazoo. It happened for Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, and it's also happening to a smaller scale for this game. It still has over twice as many likes as dislikes, but the ratio is still quite a bit worse than a lot of other games so far.
By the way, you also have a talking cube as a companion. That's a new one.
Are you excited for God of War: Laufey? Let us know in the comments below.
