According toSony, the story begins following Laufey's funeral. She unexpectedly awakens in a mysterious realm known as the Everywhen.
Described as the afterlife of the gods, the Everywhen is a location where deities and creatures from different mythologies coexist. Sony says Laufey must fight through the realm to protect plans she previously put in place for Kratos and Atreus.
The game will explore what happens to gods after death and will expand beyond the Norse mythology that formed the backdrop of recent God of War titles.
