God of War Laufey is coming to the PS5

《战神：劳菲》即将登陆 PS5

Sony ended its big State of Play showcase with a major reveal: the next God of War. The new title is called God of War Laufey, and is once again developed by Sony’s Santa Monica Studio. Currently, the game doesn’t have a date, but it’s coming to the PS5 whenever it does launch.

索尼在盛大的“State of Play”发布会结尾带来了一个重磅消息：《战神》系列的下一部作品。这款新作名为《战神：劳菲》（God of War Laufey），依然由索尼圣莫尼卡工作室开发。目前该游戏尚未公布具体发售日期，但确定将在发布时登陆 PS5 平台。

This time, instead of perpetually furious dad Kratos, players will take control of Faye / Laufey, as the title implies. That means that while the tone of the game seems somewhat similar to past God of War titles, the gameplay looks quite different, with much more aerobatic action punctuated by magic instead of Kratos’ heavy violence. Also, there’s a giant, six-legged cat that can fly. And a talking gelatinous cube named Phranque that fights alongside you.

这一次，正如标题所示，玩家将不再扮演那位永远愤怒的父亲奎托斯，而是操控菲（Faye）/ 劳菲（Laufey）。这意味着虽然游戏基调看起来与以往的《战神》作品相似，但玩法却大不相同——动作更加轻盈灵动，并以魔法作为点缀，而非奎托斯那种沉重的暴力风格。此外，游戏中还有一只会飞的六足巨猫，以及一个名为 Phranque、能与你并肩作战的会说话的果冻状立方体。

You can get a good look at the game in action with this lengthy 20-minute reveal video:

你可以通过这段长达 20 分钟的预告片，深入了解游戏的实际表现：

Deborah Ann Woll, who played Faye in God of War Ragnarök, is reprising the role for Laufey. The game’s cast also includes Jack Quaid as Phranque and Perlina Lau as Rue, the talking ribbons attached to Faye’s sword.

曾在《战神：诸神黄昏》中饰演菲的黛博拉·安·沃尔（Deborah Ann Woll）将回归，继续在《劳菲》中担任该角色。游戏配音阵容还包括饰演 Phranque 的杰克·奎德（Jack Quaid），以及为菲剑上附着的会说话的丝带 Rue 配音的珀琳娜·刘（Perlina Lau）。

Ever since a soft reboot in 2018, God of War has become one of Sony’s tentpole series, on par with the likes of The Last of Us and the Horizon games. A sequel, Ragnarök, launched on the PS5 in 2022, and the series is also being turned into a live-action streaming show on Prime Video. Earlier this year Sony surprise-launched a 2D prequel called Sons of Sparta.

自 2018 年软重启以来，《战神》已成为索尼的支柱系列之一，地位与《最后生还者》和《地平线》系列齐名。其续作《诸神黄昏》于 2022 年在 PS5 上推出，该系列目前也正在被改编为 Prime Video 的真人剧集。今年早些时候，索尼还惊喜发布了一款名为《斯巴达之子》（Sons of Sparta）的 2D 前传游戏。

The new game is a shift for blockbuster video games, which for years have focused on stories about dads. With Faye’s starring role, it seems like moms are finally getting their due.

这款新作标志着 3A 大作的一次转变，因为多年来这类游戏一直聚焦于“父亲”的故事。随着菲担任主角，看来“母亲”这一角色终于得到了应有的关注。
