00:08Welcome to Mojo Plays and today we're trading the Norse realm for the afterlife and the Leviathan
00:14Axe for a weird otherworldly sword and new companions as we navigate the everywind to
00:19explore the latest entry in the God of War saga. Faye, you need to accept it. All of it.
00:27You're dead. How? How do I accept that? Before we continue, be sure to subscribe to our channel
00:34and ring the bell to get notified about our latest videos. Kratos Remains.
00:43Find your way home. You are free. Make no mistake, even though it appears Sony has gender-swapped yet
00:52another established franchise. Since Faye commands the controller in this installment,
00:57Kratos stays the unbreakable core of the entire series. His presence echoes powerfully through
01:02her memories, visions, and the long shadow of their shared history. The developers stress that
01:07her journey complements and deepens his redemption arc rather than overshadowing it. This likely means
01:13we'll witness meaningful snippets of his continued growth from her perspective, highlighting how
01:18tightly their fates remain linked across life and death. It keeps the emotional center firmly on
01:23family while giving Kratos the respect he's earned. Have no fear, the Ghost of Sparta is still the main
01:29character. He's just letting his wife handle this particular divine mess.
01:37Find your way home.
01:49In God of War Laofey, players will follow, well, Laofey, Kratos' late wife and Atreus' mother. Her tail ignites
01:57right after that somber funeral pyre from the 2018 game, dropping her straight into the everyone,
02:03a gloriously messy afterlife where gods from rival pantheons bicker and battle for supremacy.
02:09Even after her death, her foresight drives her to defend the intricate safeguards she built for
02:14Kratos and Atreus, only to discover those plans are already crumbling under new threats.
02:20As the Jotunar giantess famous for shielding the weak from Aesir bullies, this entry will showcase her
02:26many abilities and devastating combat prowess with a very personal mission as she fights like hell to
02:32return to Kratos and Atreus. This entry will finally reveal her hidden history as the golden
02:37hand of the Jotunar while showing her motherhood doesn't end at the grave because apparently dying
02:43doesn't get you out of family responsibilities.
02:47Be...here.
02:52What if I need to be somewhere else?
02:54The Everywen.
02:56Where are we anyway?
02:57Afterlife of the gods?
02:59I call it the Everywen.
03:01Huh.
03:03Afterlife of the gods.
03:05Despite the ridiculous name, the Everywen is a vibrant and treacherous divine limbo packed
03:11with clashing immortals.
03:13Faye wakes up here understandably confused, realizing her carefully laid plans are under
03:17sudden threat.
03:19We already witnessed savage run-ins with the likes of Sekhmet and Begsi, because nothing says
03:24afterlife like gods from different pantheons throwing down.
03:27With Laufei, Santa Monica Studio cleverly widens the universe, blending the series' signature
03:33brutal action with fresh mythology mayhem, shifting realms, and soul-bending powers, and ancient
03:38grudges just to keep things unpredictable.
03:40It smartly builds on Ragnarok's afterlife teases without feeling like a detour.
03:45The result is a lively cosmic playground where Faye must outmaneuver divine egos, since even
03:50Eternity has office politics.
03:56I already fooled you!
03:58I will kill you!
04:00Casting Call.
04:08Debra Ann Wool returns with even richer nuance, perfectly capturing Faye's blend of maternal
04:13steel, quiet warmth, and unshakable resolve.
04:16Her delivery shines brightest when reflecting on Kratos, affectionately nicknamed Grumbles,
04:21and their son Atreus.
04:23Paired with Jack Quaid's lively Frank and a strong supporting cast, the voice work makes
04:27the everyone feel alive with soulful dialogue and raw battle intensity.
04:32Santa Monica Studio continues its tradition of excellent performances, paired with incredible
04:36cinematics that make you genuinely care.
04:39Wool's portrayal positions Faye as a protagonist worthy of standing beside the coast of Sparta.
04:44These voices turn quiet moments between beatdowns into something unexpectedly touching, which
04:49fans have come to expect from the recent Norse entries.
04:54Kratos.
05:02Companions.
05:03Okay.
05:04I think they're gone.
05:06Just be careful.
05:10Meet Frank with a PH, the gelatinous cosmic cube voiced by Jack Quaid, who will be tagging
05:17along as Faye's quirky sidekick through the everyone, alongside Rue, the enchanted ribbon
05:22guardian tied to her newly claimed sword.
05:24This odd trio delivers witty banter, handy combat support, and just enough sarcasm to
05:29slice through the heavy atmosphere.
05:31Rue's watchful, cautionary commentary on the blade's devastating power contrasts nicely
05:36with Frank's cosmic goofiness, creating some genuinely fun exchanges against Faye's intense
05:41focus.
05:41As she races to protect secrets vital for Kratos and Atreus, these eccentric companions can
05:47help untangle the realm's mysteries while keeping the sword out of the wrong hands.
05:51It echoes past companions, but feels delightfully weird and new.
05:55Who knew an afterlife adventure needed a floating gelatinous therapist and a chatty ribbon with
06:00trust issues?
06:01Let's hope we get some upgrade trees that make this crew even more ridiculous and useful.
06:06I think you should give her the sword.
06:09How do I know I can trust her?
06:12I'll give it back.
06:13I promise.
06:15Combat evolved.
06:25Time to swap Kratos' heavy acts for Faye's lightning-fast swordwork, elemental bursts, and graceful
06:32dodges that leaves enemies wondering what hit them.
06:35Her giant heritage fuels soul-powered abilities and split-second foresight that turns fights into
06:40tactical ballets of controlled fury.
06:42The recent gameplay reveal showed crisp, satisfying, and brutal combos that favor precision over
06:47pure muscle.
06:48It keeps the weighty, crunchy feel fans love while adding acrobatic flair and magical versatility.
06:54Throw in the chatty, gelatinous cube Frank for backup and sarcastic color commentary, and
06:59battles will remain interesting throughout.
07:02Faye fights like a mother who's done with everyone's nonsense.
07:05Relentless, purposeful, and it's oddly refreshing.
07:08Early signs point to a progression system that actually respects your time and is reminiscent
07:12of Kratos' fighting style back in Greece.
07:15Plus, jumping finally returns to God of War.
07:18You don't know what you're missing until it's gone.
07:30A Parallel Journey
07:42The developers have been very clear.
07:44God of War Laofei moves the saga forward, not backward.
07:48It runs alongside the 2018 events, letting us experience Faye's side of the funeral and
07:53its chaotic ripple effects.
07:55This clever setup shows how her pre-death preparations quietly shape Kratos and Atreus'
08:00journey without stealing their thunder.
08:02It fills the mysterious gaps about her sacrifices while keeping the main family story intact.
08:08The game stands as the next proper mainline entry, confidently mixing familiar stakes with
08:13an intriguing new territory.
08:14Long-time fans get deeper emotional payoffs while newcomers aren't lost.
08:19It's the rare sequel that respects your intelligence and connection to the two previous titles while
08:24still sneaking in some surprises.
08:26Maybe we'll finally find out who blew the horn, too.
08:29A question for another day.
08:31Let us go home.
08:34Faye's Powers
08:42Known as Laofei the Just, she built her reputation protecting the vulnerable and openly defying
08:48Odin's cruelty well before Kratos entered the picture.
08:51Her frost giantess gifts and prophetic sight shaped everything from the Leviathan Axe to her
08:57family's tangled destiny.
08:58In this game, those roots bloom into powerful soul magic, environmental mastery, and vision-driven
09:04gameplay.
09:05Her role as the Golden Hand Protector adds real weight to every tough choice in the Everywind.
09:10We'll likely uncover more about her leadership among the Jotunar and the personal price of
09:15all that secrecy.
09:16Her past actions have quietly steered the entire Norse saga from the shadows, proving she was
09:22the unseen force guiding key events long before the Ghost of Sparta picked up the Leviathan
09:26Axe, a potent reminder that some influences outlast even across themselves.
09:31We're so close to the end now.
09:37Yes.
09:40Yes, we are.
09:44Mythological Melting Pot
09:45This is important to you.
09:58Facing off against deities like Sekhmet and Beksi hints at a wonderfully tangled afterlife
10:03where belief systems crash together spectacularly.
10:06Faye's Jotunar viewpoint navigating these encounters creates sharp contrasts and uneasy alliances.
10:12It expands the God of War universe thoughtfully, opening doors for future entries while delivering
10:18immediate fireworks.
10:19Fans have come to expect rich environmental storytelling and collectibles that reward
10:23curious players, and Lao Faye looks to continue this tradition.
10:27This approach avoids cheap cameos, instead weaving these gods meaningfully into her mission.
10:32It's unexpected and just self-aware enough to acknowledge that immortals arguing across
10:37cultures is peak divine comedy.
10:39I will handle that problem.
10:42You.
10:44Deal with our new pets.
10:47More questions than answers.
10:49Of course I'm not here.
10:51I'm dead.
10:52You have to be dead to come through the gateway.
10:55It's like you're holding something back.
10:58So, we know Faye awakens in the everyone right after her funeral pyre, but how exactly did
11:04a prepared giantess like her end up disoriented in this multi-pantheon afterlife?
11:09Trailers hint at threats to her long-term contingencies, yet we're still in the dark on whether she'll
11:14eventually cross paths with familiar faces like Baldr or even Greek remnants.
11:19Since the game is confirmed to be a parallel tale, we expect deeper dives into her pre-Kratos
11:24rebellion against Odin and the full extent of her prophetic gifts.
11:27Another question we have is, what's the deal with that mysterious ribbon artifact and Frank
11:32the Cube?
11:33Santa Monica is playing their cards close, leaving us wondering how her success, or failure, might
11:38quietly reshape Kratos and Atreus' path without stepping on their narrative toes.
11:43Just like the rest of God of War's Norse saga, we'll have to wait and see how the pieces fall
11:48in place.
11:49My magic is wrong here.
11:53I feel wrong here.
11:55What are you most looking forward to in God of War Lao Faye?
11:58Are you excited about the new entry?
