Here, we unveil that by tuning hydrostatic pressure P, a cascade of electronic phase transitions can be induced in the few-layer transition metal dichalcogenide 1T'-WS₂. As P increases, we observe the suppression of superconductivity with the concomitant emergence of an anomalous Hall effect (AHE) at P≈1.15 GPa. Above 1.6GPa, we uncover a reentrant superconducting state emerging from a state still exhibiting AHE. This superconducting state competes with the AHE state and shows a marked increase in superconducting anisotropy with respect to the ambient pressure phase, suggesting a distinct pairing symmetry.
