The reveal of God of War Laufey last month was met with near unanimous excitement, though it was marred by negative reactions from some players, to the relative bafflement of the game's star.

God of War Laufey is set to replace Kratos as the protagonist for the first time in series history, with his wife Faye taking up the role – a change that seemed fairly obvious to anyone who actually played God of War Ragnarök.
Naturally, as is to be expected of the proverbial dumpster fire that is online video game discourse, replacing macho man Kratos with a woman sparked a tide of righteous fury among the most annoying people in the world.
While those of us in the industry have grown accustomed to these kinds of 'controversies', that doesn't apply to everyone, and certainly not to Faye actor Deborah Ann Woll, otherwise known for playing Karen Page in Daredevil: Born Again, who appears to be totally unfazed.
At the recent Florida Supercon, Woll was asked by a fan about the misogynistic response to Laufey, with the interaction later being posted to TikTok.
"I mean, genuinely, I thought I was going to be much more affected by it," she began.
"One, I'm not on social media, so that helps. And two, I don't know, I feel totally unbothered because I just know it's great.
"Like, it's OK if it's not your cup of tea, but in no universe is it bad."

God of War Laufey will follow Faye's journey through the Everywhen – the afterlife of the gods – after being laid to rest by her husband in 2018's God of War.
The world is populated by gods from global mythology, including Egyptian god of war Sekhmet and Buddhist war deity Begtse.
Woll is joined in her role as Faye by cube companion Phranque, voiced by Jack Quaid, and enchanted ribbon Rue, voiced by Perlina Lau.
While hype for the game remains high, fans are going to have to wait a while, with the game currently expected to release in 2027.
Thankfully, though, that does at least mean it comes before Sony brings an end to physical discs, so you can add that one to your collection.
