God of War Laufey pre-orders open September 29 with armour and digital extras

The God of War Laufey pre-order bonus is the Last Wish Armor Set, a Phranque Golden Leaves cosmetic and an in-game resource pack. Pre-orders open on 29 September at 10am local time, Sony said in its PlayStation Blog announcement, with the same details reported by VGC. The game remains scheduled for 16 February 2027 on PS5.

God of War Laufey pre-order bonus and Digital Deluxe contents

The offer applies to purchases made before launch, according to Sony. A separate Digital Deluxe Edition adds a themed set of equipment and digital extras to the game. Sony has not listed prices in its announcement, so there is no confirmed AED figure to report here.

The Digital Deluxe breakdown from Push Square matches Sony’s list. The announcement does not list a physical collector’s edition or a price for either option. Its confirmed date remains 16 February 2027, as previously reported in tbreak’s release-date coverage.

The Last Wish armour and Phranque’s gold-leaf appearance are separate from the Dark Alchemy items in the premium digital bundle. Digital Deluxe also includes the resource pack, which appears in both lists. Sony labels Phranque’s appearance as cosmetic, but has not explained how the other equipment affects play.

Faye’s Serpent Bow adds two aiming styles

Sony paired the edition news with a closer look at Faye’s Serpent Bow. Holding the aim trigger fully enters a precision mode with a longer draw distance. Shots aimed at particular parts of an enemy can hinder its movement or ability to attack, setting up a melee follow-up. Faye can also charge the bow and hold up to five arrows before releasing a volley.

A half-press switches to a more mobile hip-fire stance. That mode releases clusters of arrows at close range and can keep airborne enemies in a combo while Faye switches between weapons and abilities. The official PlayStation gameplay breakdown also names rapid-fire, explosive and multi-target arrow types, with Serpent Scales changing the bow’s appearance and specialisation.

Those options give the bow distinct jobs at different ranges: precise shots can interrupt an enemy, while the quicker stance supports close combat. The five-arrow volley is designed to work with Phranque, who can launch enemies into the air. The Digital Deluxe Bow Scales are one named variant, although Sony has not detailed their specific perk in this announcement.

The new bow sits alongside a broader equipment system. Sony says Faye can customise her sword and bow and equip Catalysts, described as artefacts. The official post does not provide a full inventory or explain how those artefacts change builds, so the announcement establishes the system without answering how much freedom it offers.

What the announcement confirms — and what it leaves open

The game is a PS5 release dated 16 February 2027. Sony previously confirmed that God of War Laufey will also ship on disc, but this announcement focuses on the digital editions and their bonus content. It does not provide a UAE price, a pre-order link for local stores, or details of a collector’s edition.

The pre-order window begins on 29 September at 10am local time. That is a regional time, rather than one universal launch hour, and the PlayStation announcement does not specify an AED price. Players in the UAE will need to check the local PlayStation Store when pre-orders open for its listing and price.

The God of War Laufey pre-order bonus is separate from the Digital Deluxe contents, while the gameplay reveal adds the first detailed explanation of Faye’s bow controls. Buyers can compare the announced items now; prices and any additional editions remain unconfirmed in Sony’s post.
