Don’t Assume God Of War’s Horn Mystery Will Be Solved In The Upcoming Spin-Off

God of War Laufey is the next big installment in the God of War series, but rather than Kratos it stars Faye, his late wife, as she tries to help him and their son Atreus from the afterlife. Because of when the game is set in the timeline and Faye’s goal, many fans believe that Laufey will finally answer the franchise’s biggest mystery.

The upcoming spin-off’s director is being cagey about whether fans will get an answer. In God of War (2018), there’s a moment later in the game when Kratos is carrying a sick Atreus to Freya’s hut and he and the other characters hear someone offscreen blow the horn that summons Jörmungandr, the giant World Serpent who lives in Midgard’s Lake of Nine.

The game makes a point to acknowledge that the horn was blown, but then moves on and never reveals who blew it or why. No answer is provided in the sequel, God of War Ragnarok, either, and many fans hope that Faye was the one who blew the horn.
