According to reliable source Paul Tassi for Forbes, God of War: Laufey go drop for PS5 on February 16, 2027. Fable go follow on February 23, 2027 for Xbox and PS5. So na just seven days difference. Dis one no good for Fable at all, because many PlayStation players wey go dey play Laufey fit no rush to buy Fable immediately.
Fable na game wey Playground Games don dey work on for long time. E don shift from 2025 to now 2027. Di game go also launch for Xbox Game Pass on day one. So Xbox dey hope say e go sell well on PS5. But with God of War: Laufey wey release just before, competition dey tough.
God of War: Laufey na new story wey leave Kratos behind and focus on im wife Laufey as she dey fight new mash up of gods from different pantheons. And plus, a weird cube dey help am. Santa Monica Studio don announce say after Laufey, Kratos go return for next God of War game wey go connect directly to Laufey events. That one fit come around 2031 if we follow pattern from 2018 to 2022 to 2027.
PlayStation no dey too vex about dis situation. Dem dey happy say dem get big exclusive like Laufey, even as Fable wey komot from Xbox side go dey on dem platform. But for Xbox, dis na big moment because Fable na one of dia storied IP. Di game need to sell plenty copies on PS5 to make up for di Game Pass dey give am free for Xbox.
