God of War Laufey Collector Box Revealed: $150, No Game Included – Plus Every Edition and Pre-Order Bonus

Sony's $149.99 God of War Laufey Collector Box has a light-up Faye statue, a tarot-style deck and an artbook – but no game. Here's what every edition costs ahead of February 16, 2027.

God of War Laufey finally has its big-ticket collectible – and it comes with a catch. Sony opened pre-orders for the God of War Laufey Collector Box on PlayStation Direct on October 13, priced at $149.99 / £129.99 / €149.99. It's packed with physical goodies built around Faye, Kratos's wife and the series' first non-Kratos lead in a mainline game. What it doesn't contain is the game itself.

If you're planning your pre-order for the February 16, 2027 launch, here's exactly what the box includes, what every edition costs and which bonuses you get for ordering early.

What's in the God of War Laufey Collector Box

Sony is careful to call this a "Collector Box" rather than a Collector's Edition, and the distinction matters. Inside you get:

• An 8-inch resin statue of Faye fighting alongside her two companions, Phranque (the cosmic cube) and Rue (the enchanted ribbon that guards her sword). The piece lights up when connected to USB power.
• A 51-card Oracle Deck featuring illustrations by artist Megan Lara.
• A physical mini artbook with concept art picked by Santa Monica Studio.

There's no disc, no download code and no steelbook. To actually play, you'll need to buy the Standard or Digital Deluxe Edition separately, which puts the full collector's setup at roughly $220 or more before tax.

Price, Release Date and Where to Buy

The Collector Box is sold through PlayStation Direct, and it ships on February 16, 2027, alongside the game. Quantities are limited, and beyond the US and UK the box is listed in a number of European PlayStation Direct stores.

If you've followed Rockstar's marketing for GTA 6, the "no game included" approach will sound familiar: its far pricier Collector's Box also leaves the game out. Expect the same debate here. Some fans will happily buy a statue and card deck for the shelf; others will feel that a premium-priced bundle without the game misses the point of a collector's release.

Every God of War Laufey Edition

Regular pre-orders opened back on September 29, 2026. There are two ways to buy the game itself:

Standard Edition – $69.99 The base game, available both digitally and on disc. That disc release is notable: Sony has said it will stop producing physical discs from 2028, and Santa Monica Studio confirmed back in July that Laufey would still get a boxed version.

Digital Deluxe Edition – $79.99 The base game plus a bundle of digital extras:

• Dark Alchemy Armor Set
• Dark Alchemy Blade
• Dark Alchemy Bow Scales
• Dark Alchemy Catalyst
• In-game resource pack
• Digital mini artbook
• Official digital soundtrack

As usual for Santa Monica Studio, the Deluxe bonuses are cosmetic and convenience items rather than story content, so the Standard Edition is the full game.

Pre-Order Bonuses

Pre-ordering either the Standard or Digital Deluxe Edition gets you:

• Last Wish Armor Set
• Phranque Golden Leaves Appearance – a cosmetic look for Faye's cube companion
• In-game resource pack

On the physical Standard Edition, these bonus items come as a digital download code.

What Is God of War Laufey?

Santa Monica Studio revealed Laufey at Sony's State of Play on June 2, 2026, with around 20 minutes of gameplay. It's a single-player action-adventure starring Faye – Laufey the Just – with Deborah Ann Woll returning to voice her after her role in God of War Ragnarök.

The story is set mostly in the Everywhen, a realm tied to the origin of magic where gods from many mythologies end up after death. That lets the series branch out from Norse myth into Egyptian and Mongolian lore, with the war goddess Sekhmet and the protector deity Begtse as Faye's main enemies. The story runs alongside the events of God of War (2018) and Ragnarök rather than after them.

Faye plays very differently from Kratos. She's faster and far more mobile, switching between ground and aerial attacks, juggling enemies with long combo strings and using the Serpent Bow to slow foes at range or launch them into follow-ups. Her sword is fast and combo-focused, and a golden palm ability can pull an enemy's soul out of its body so you can attack it or slam it into other enemies.

Santa Monica Studio has also confirmed that the next God of War game will put Kratos back in the lead. According to the studio, Laufey is meant to continue what came before and set up what comes next – so it's set up as an important piece of the saga, not a throwaway spin-off.

Why It Matters

God of War Laufey is one of PlayStation's biggest first-party releases of early 2027, and it lands in a packed window: Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, Persona 4 Revival, Fable and Metro 2039 are all due within about two weeks of it. A pricey shelf piece four months out is a clear sign Sony expects big demand from series fans.

For most players, the decision is simple: the $69.99 Standard Edition gets you the whole game and the pre-order bonuses. The Deluxe Edition adds cosmetics and a soundtrack for $10 more. The Collector Box is strictly for fans who want Faye on their shelf – and since stock is limited, those fans shouldn't wait too long.
