Faye’s Story
· Play as Laufey (Faye) – warrior, wife to Kratos, and mother to Atreus. A powerful and unyielding fighter, Faye once used her legendary battle prowess to face down even the mightiest Aesir. Now in the afterlife of the gods, she will test her skills against foes from mythologies far beyond the one she knew in the Nine Realms.
· Faye's story begins after the pivotal moment of her death, just as Kratos and Atreus begin their journey to scatter her ashes at the highest peak in all the realms. After awakening unexpectedly in a mysterious new place, Faye discovers she has arrived in the Everywhen - the afterlife of the gods. She learns the plans set in place to protect her family are at risk and will do whatever it takes to find her way home.
Fierce, Fluid Combat

· Move effortlessly between the ground and air without ever halting the action. Faye’s mobility creates a playstyle defined by a hyper-responsive, unrelenting onslaught of force.

Triumph Together
On her journey, Faye is joined by two powerful companions: Rue and Phranque.
· Rue is a set of enchanted ribbons which serve as the guardian of Faye's sword. Tasked with keeping its immense power from falling into the wrong hands, Rue's heavy responsibility makes her both fiercely protective and slow to trust.
· Phranque is a determined cosmic cube with deep ties to the Everywhen. As conflict seeps throughout the afterlife of the gods, Phranque is committed to protecting his home and the many creatures that reside there from further harm.
