Pre-launch checklist
Do this first
01
Wishlist the game page
The official PlayStation game page already lists wishlist availability for God of War Laufey.
02
Track official source channels
Start with PlayStation Blog, the game page, PlayStation YouTube, State of Play, Santa Monica Studio posts, and the July 24 Comic-Con panel before press recaps.
03
Watch the official video set
Watch Gameplay Reveal, Meet the Cast, Finding Laufey, and Combat First Look in that order before reading fan analysis.
04
Read the story primer first
Story has the timeline, funeral aftermath, and previous game context; Guides stays focused on practical prep.
05
Check News for change tracking

06
Hold pre-order assumptions
Editions, price, bonuses, and preload timing are not announced and should stay outside current guide facts.
