As God of War Laufey gets ready to open pre-orders, developer Santa Monica Studios has revealed a brand-new weapon heading to the action-adventure game. Called the Serpent Bow, God of War Laufey's newly announced weapon will give players a ranged tool that can be used in a few distinct ways.
Today, Santa Monica officially announced that God of War Laufey pre-orders will go live on September 29 at 10am local time. Those who pre-order God of War Laufey before its February 16, 2027 launch date will receive a handful of in-game bonuses, including early access to Faye's Last Wish armor and Phranque's Golden Leaves appearance. A Digital Deluxe Edition of God of War Laufey will also be available for pre-order from September 29.
In the latest PlayStation blog post, Santa Monica Studios Communications Director Grace Orlady revealed a brand-new Serpent Bow weapon coming to God of War Laufey. An enchanted ranged weapon, the Serpent Bow will feature two distinct modes of fire. By pulling the DualSense's Adaptive Trigger all the way back, players will activate the Serpent Bow's Precision mode, giving Faye full-aim over the weapon and increased draw distance. Shooting at specific body parts in this mode will affect enemies in a unique way. For instance, shooting an enemy's leg will impair their movement, while shooting their weapon-wielding arm will hinder their attack capabilities. Shooting the Serpent Bow in Precision mode will also let players fire up to five arrows simultaneously.

Pulling the DualSense's Adaptive Trigger halfway will activate the Serpent Bow's Hip-Fire mode. Here, Faye can fire her snake-headed bow in the middle of an extended combo. In the brief snippet of gameplay shown on the PlayStation Blog, it seems the Serpent Bow in this fire mode can stagger enemies and push them away from Faye, opening them up to a quick follow-up melee attack.
Along with two distinct fire modes, God of War Laufey's Serpent Bow will come with an assortment of arrow types. Rapid fire, explosive, and multi-target arrows are all specified in the recent PS Blog post. Through the use of a resource known as 'Scales', the Serpent Bow will also be able to take on a new appearance and receive a special gameplay perk. A portion of Faye's skill tree will also reportedly be dedicated to the ranged weapon.
Towards the end of the blog post, Santa Monica revealed some more details about God of War Laufey's customization options. On top of the Serpent Bow's Scales, Faye's sword will have different Blades that can be swapped out, which will presumably change that weapon's appearance and perks as well. Faye will also find an assortment of Catalysts during her journey through the Everywhen. These collectible artifacts will "channel the magic" of the afterlife of the gods, granting Faye special abilities. Faye will also be able to equip different armor sets, all of which will offer unique looks, gameplay perks, and stats.
