A new God of War game tied to Faye is reportedly close to being shown, and the latest rumor points to Sony’s next State of Play as the place where it could happen. If the leak proves accurate, the project may be the final announcement in the presentation.
The claim comes from a brief post by leaker Elesnicho, who wrote “Faye of War” on X. That same account previously leaked the February Sony State of Play before Sony announced it, which is why some players see the message as a strong hint rather than a random tease.
What the rumor says about the reveal
The leak does not include a trailer, a logo, or any direct confirmation from Sony Santa Monica. It only suggests that the project may appear soon, and that is enough to fuel speculation because the studio has not officially denied the existence of the game.
The rumor also lines up with earlier reports that the next God of War title will not center on Kratos. Instead, the project is said to star Faye, with Tyr also listed as one of the main characters.
Why players think this project is real
Several journalists and outlets have already backed up the idea that the Faye-focused God of War game exists. That does not make the reveal guaranteed, but it does place the rumor in a more credible category than a typical online guess.
The reported scope of the game has also kept interest high. According to the leaks, the story could move beyond one mythological setting and explore Japanese and Chinese lore as part of its broader worldbuilding.
Another detail that has drawn attention is the claim that players will travel with two speaking companions. One of those companions is rumored to be a talking sword, which would mark a notable shift in tone and structure for the series.
When the next State of Play may happen
No exact date has been confirmed for the next Sony State of Play. However, leaker NateTheHate has suggested a general window at the end of May or early June, which is the main reason the reveal rumor is gaining momentum now.
In a May 10 post, NateTheHate said, “I have a general window but no exact date. So it’s too soon to share any specifics about State of Play.” Based on that range, some players believe the Faye spinoff could surface sometime between May 20 and June 2.
That timing remains speculative, and both the reveal date and the game itself should be treated carefully until Sony makes an official announcement. Still, the combination of repeated leaks, past accuracy from insider accounts, and the lack of a public denial has kept attention fixed on the next State of Play.
