God of War Laufey: Cory Barlog Has Been Planning Faye Since 2018
Eight years before the official announcement of God of War Laufey, Cory Barlog had already cast the lead actress in the role she would play.

Is this the first genuine case of "unfridging" in triple-A gaming? The question deserves serious consideration.
