Deborah Ann Woll: Faye's acrobatic combat matches Kratos's brute force

Sony Santa Monica opened State of Play with 20 minutes of gameplay from God of War Laufey, introducing a new protagonist in Kratos's second wife and Atreus's mother, Faye. Her distinctly agile move set contrasts with Kratos's brawny, lumbering movement. In a "meet the cast" video, Faye actor Deborah Ann Woll compared the two playstyles, calling Kratos "a heavy hitter" and Laufey "acrobatic." "I love how acrobatic Faye is.

I think the Kratos gameplay is so fantastic because he's such a heavy hitter and he has that brute force," she says. "And Faye is just as strong and just as good a warrior, but her gameplay is spinning and whipping and flipping, and it's in the air, and we can show that there are so many ways to be a warrior." Talking to IGN, God of War Laufey director Ariel Lawrence said the team looked to Santa Monica's past games for influence: "The Greek era had an influence on Faye.
