God of War Laufey: Finally Reversing the Fridged Woman Trope?
Fey dies before the first title screen of God of War (2018)—a textbook case of the female character sacrificed to motivate the male hero. Eight years later, God of War: Laufey seems intent on fixing that mistake by giving this character her own existence, her own voice, her own agency. Is this the first genuine case of "unfridging" in triple-A gaming? The question deserves serious consideration.
