There are mild spoilers ahead for God of War: Ragnarök and The Last Of Us Part II. An easter egg that serves as a tribute to The Last Of Us Part II can be found in the sequel to God of War.
A collectible poem, titled We Who Remain, Part the Second, refers to a “bearded, cruel father,” which likely refers to Joel, and a “surrogate daughter,” which refers to Ellie.

In The Last Of Us Part II, following Joel’s death, Ellie embarks on a ruthless campaign of revenge against the WLF and those within the group responsible. The last four lines of the poem further capture the essence of what The Last Of Us Part II encapsulates, thematically speaking.
