Written atop the God of War 2018 Collector's Edition are a series of Norse runic symbols which translate as such:
"For everyone of us who wrapped a blanket around our neck and believed we could fly, for every dreamer whom waking fantasies pit them against great beasts and monsters, for every human who desires a sense of wonder and discovery in their life, for the child in us all who if we are lucky is never lost, this adventure has been crafted by hand for you. Thank you for making it possible for us to dream create and to be kids again."

Written on the back of the steel case for the game are Norse runes which read.
"This is the story of a bear and a wolf, who wandered the realms nine, to fulfill a promise of one before they walk the twilight path destined to discover the truth that is to come."
