One of the big reveals from the PlayStation State of Play this week was a new God of War game called God of War: Laufey. The PS5 game mixes things up by focusing on Laufey instead of Kratos, but some things are staying the same. It has been confirmed that Bear McCreary, who composed the music for 2018's God of War and 2022's God of War: Ragnarok, is coming back for Laufey. "I am honored to return to the God of War saga, as the composer of God of War Laufey," he said. McCreary went on to say he's been working on Laufey for "years" already, collaborating with a "stunningly talented team of developers, musicians, performers, and singers." The composer not only made the music for previous God of War games, but he had a role in one of them as well. In Ragnarok's 2023 expansion, Valhalla, McCreary played the dwarven musician character Ræb, which is Bear spelled backwards. The initial trailer for God of War: Laufey provided a tease for the music in the game, but McCreary said he's excited to share more of his work on the game soon. McCreary also composed the music for this February's God of War Sons of Sparta. Outside of games, McCreary is known for his work on film and TV shows, with his credits include The Walking Dead, Battlestar Galactica, Outlander, Black Mirror, Snowpiercer, The Witcher: Blood Origin, Halo, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, and Percy Jackson and the Olympians, just to name a few. God of War: Laufey is in the works now for PS5, but it doesn't have a release date. The game also features a gelatinous cube played by Jack Quaid.
