God of War Laufey Collector Box Launches Without the Game
If you’re looking to pick up the upcoming God of War Laufey Collector Box, you’ll need to make sure you have your digital or physical copy of the game ready to go separately.
If you’re looking to pick up the upcoming God of War Laufey Collector Box, you’ll need to make sure you have your digital or physical copy of the game ready to go separately. As reported by Eurogamer and detailed by Sony, this high-end merchandise set arrives on 16 February 2027, the same day the new God of War title hits the PlayStation 5, but the game itself is not included in the box.
What’s in the box
Retailing at £129.99 ($149.99/€149.99), the set is aimed strictly at fans looking for physical collectibles rather than a game bundle. The box includes three primary items: an eight-inch illuminated statue featuring Faye, Phranque, and Rue facing Begtse’s soldiers, a 51-card Oracle Deck with custom illustrations by Megan Lara, and a mini artbook curated by the Santa Monica Studio art team. A key feature of the display statue is Phranque, the cube-like companion, which lights up when connected to a USB power source.
Availability and launch
According to the official announcement, the Collector Box will be available in highly limited quantities exclusively through PlayStation Direct. Pre-orders are currently open, but Sony notes these will only remain available while supplies last. Because the game is a separate purchase, players who want both the full software experience and the physical extras will need to account for two distinct transactions.
Why it matters
For players, this distinction is crucial for budgeting. If you are eyeing this set, remember that the price point covers only the physical collectibles, not the software itself. This move mirrors recent industry trends where premium merchandise sets—such as the Rockstar Games Collector’s Box for GTA 6—are sold as standalone items independent of the game license.
As of now, there is no indication of regional pricing variances beyond the established US, UK, and European costs. If you are planning to grab the set, ensure you have your game copy secured independently to avoid any disappointment on the 16 February launch date.
