An eagle-eyed God of War fan has seemingly found a reference to Laufey’s controversial cube companion Phranque hiding in Ragnarok, giving us even more proof of how long Faye’s story has been planned.
Getting a new God of War that stars one of the most interesting characters in the series is already interesting enough, but it’s become even more of a big deal now that we know how long Faye’s story has been planned. As the reveal trailer made clear, Laufey isn’t just telling its own story, and is massively tying into the rest of the Norse saga.
This has already got fans speculating about what might be revealed about Kratos and Atreus’ journey during Faye’s time in the Everywhen. God of War lead Cory Barlog has made it clear that he’s been planning Laufey ever since the first Norse game, and that’s becoming clearer and clearer now that references are being found in Ragnarok.

I Mean, How Would We Ever Guess A Blue Cube Meant Something?
Over on Twitter, SouMorse shared a very interesting discovery that they found in God of War Ragnarok while exploring Tyr’s Vault, which is already a location filled with easter eggs and secrets. This includes one item that would have meant nothing before but suddenly looks very suspect now that we know about Laufey.
SouMorse pointed out that there’s a painting in Tyr’s Vault that very clearly shows a blue cube that’s very reminiscent of Phranque and even has his colouring. To add even more fire to the theory, there’s a spear sitting alongside the painting that has a blue gem embedded in it that’s very similar to the one that appears throughout Laufey’s iconography.
Since we know that Faye actor Deborah Ann Woll was told about the game all the way back in 2018 and showed the key art that apparently hasn’t changed in all that time, it’s very likely that the blue cube and gem found in Ragnarok are a purposeful easter egg for the upcoming game. I mean, what else can a random blue cube really mean?
