Short answer
Deborah Ann Woll plays Laufey in God of War Laufey, reprising the role after appearing in God of War Ragnarok.
Confirmed role
Official PlayStation Blog coverage confirms that Deborah Ann Woll leads the cast as Laufey in God of War Laufey.
Official cast material also adds a more useful player-facing distinction: this game is not only Kratos' memory of Faye anymore. It is the first time the audience gets a fuller version of her as her own person.
Why her casting matters
Laufey is no longer only a memory, legacy, or background presence. God of War Laufey puts her at the center of the story, which makes the performance more important to the emotional identity of the game.
Character focus
The official reveal frames this story as a way to explore Laufey's humanity, strength, flaws, and legacy. That means the role is likely to carry both action and personal drama. The cast video also puts emphasis on Faye's acrobatic, fast, airborne fighting style, which gives the performance a very different texture from Kratos.
