The PS5 exclusive is the 11th main entry in the series. It shifts the lead role from Kratos to his wife, Faye. Set before the 2018 God of War, the story follows the Frost Giantess as she fights Aesir gods and explores the events leading up to her meeting Kratos.

After dying, Faye finds herself in a realm called the Everywhen populated by multiple pantheons of gods. She is accompanied by a talking sword sash and a talking gelatinous cube. Combat focuses on her magical abilities, a bow, a sword, and the Leviathan Axe. Players can customize Faye's weapons and armor.
