Well, would you look at that. The rumors were true.
God of War: Laufey officially opened pre-orders today, and the Hong Kong pricing is finally out. According to PlayStation's official info, the digital standard edition will run you 388 HKD, while the digital deluxe edition comes in at 438 HKD. The game launches on PS5 on February 16, 2027.
For the past few days, forums and player communities had been buzzing with talk that Sony's Hong Kong store might be entering "low-price territory." Plenty of folks predicted Laufey's standard edition would land somewhere between 378 and 398 HKD. Now that the final number is locked in at 388 HKD, it's basically smack in the middle of what players guessed, and the "HK price drop" conversation is once again the hottest topic among PS fans. Earlier titles like Control Resonant and Silent Hill: Townfall used a 348 HKD price point in Hong Kong, which only fueled expectations that something was shifting with regional pricing.
Over on the forums, reactions were pretty much what you'd expect. Lots of players were straight-up hyped, with comments like "amazing" and "Sony finally did something right for once." Others pointed out that for a Sony first-party new release, 388 HKD is way easier to swallow than the 400 to 500 HKD price tags we've been seeing. That said, some cautious voices noted that one game's pricing doesn't prove Hong Kong is officially a "low-price region" now. They want to see how more first-party titles get priced down the line before calling it a trend.
Pre-ordering either version gets you the "Last Wish" armor set, the Frank Goldleaf appearance, and an in-game resource pack. Spring for the 438 HKD digital deluxe edition and you'll also snag the "Dark Alchemy" gear series, a catalyst, a digital artbook, and the soundtrack.
It's worth noting that with the price finally revealed, the multi-day guessing game has officially come to an end. For Hong Kong players, the bigger question now is whether 388 HKD will become the new starting point for Sony's future releases. Honestly? That might be more exciting than Laufey itself.
So what do you think, is 388 HKD the new normal or just a one-off? Drop your thoughts below.
