Confidence label
Likely story thread, details unknown.
Official material confirms that Laufey's plans for Kratos and Atreus are at risk. It does not yet explain what those plans fully include.
Confirmed facts
- Laufey made plans to protect Kratos and Atreus.
- Those plans become threatened after her death.
- Laufey wakes in the Everywhen.
- The flow of magic in the Everywhen has been disrupted.
Possible interpretations
Laufey's plan could involve prophecy, Atreus' identity, Kratos' survival, hidden Jotnar knowledge, the Leviathan Axe, or events that only make sense from the afterlife of the gods.
The Everywhen may be the place where the hidden cost or missing piece of that plan becomes visible.
Counterpoints
The plan may be simpler than fans expect. It could refer mainly to protecting the emotional and physical journey of Kratos and Atreus rather than a large cosmic scheme.
