"Faye of War": Reliable leaker all but confirms God of War spinoff ahead of rumored State of Play
A leaker with a proven track record of getting PlayStation showcases right has all but confirmed a Faye-led God of War spinoff as a major upcoming announcement - and if the State of Play rumors are accurate, the reveal could be imminent.
Twitter/X account @elesnicho, who successfully leaked content from the last PlayStation showcase before it aired, posted just a few words earlier today: "Faye of War." The post has accumulated over 20,000 impressions in under seven hours, and a thread on r/GamingLeaksAndRumours has since framed it as elesnicho hinting the game as the "one more thing" of the next State of Play - a surprise closer announcement.
The timing itself matters because Sony's next State of Play is currently rumored, via insider Detective Seeds, to take place on May 15 - tomorrow. Sony has not officially confirmed the event.
Furthermore, the Faye spinoff itself is not a new rumor. Multiple credible sources have been circling it for months. Insider NateTheHate was among the first to publicly claim that Santa Monica Studio is developing a new God of War entry starring Kratos' late wife Faye as the lead protagonist. The gameplay was described as more action-heavy compared to the Norse-era titles. Bloomberg's Jason Schreier had also provided his two cents - he stated that it would feel like a new IP despite staying within the God of War universe.
God of War director Cory Barlog has reportedly been working on this project since the 2018 reboot wrapped - that is nearly seven years of development. Barlog had publicly shown his frustration earlier this year after NateTheHate's leak was spotted, though he did stop short of a direct denial.
Elesnicho's post adds even more weight to this particular wave of rumors. Regardless, everything is unconfirmed and should be taken with a grain of salt until Sony makes an official announcement. If the State of Play does air tomorrow, we won't have to wait long.
