Fans found hidden hints for a new God of War years after the games' release

God of War fans have started examining old entries in the series for clues about God of War Laufey. The findings suggest that developers might have been preparing the next game many years ago.

Santa Monica Studio planned to create God of War Laufey more than a decade ago. Therefore, hidden references to the future project, the meaning of which only became clear now, might have appeared in God of War and God of War Ragnarok.

The latest discovery is related to Phranque, Laufey's cube companion. Fan SouMorse showed an image from Tyr's Vault on X, where a blue cube is visible. Before the reveal of God of War Laufey, this detail did not attract attention – now it's hard not to connect it with the new character.

Next to the cube, there is also a spear with a blue stone, resembling a symbol that regularly appears in materials about Laufey. The combination of these two elements made players assume that this is not a coincidence.

Earlier, Cory Barlog said that Laufey's story had been planned since the first Norse installment of God of War.
