Let's translate symbols on sword
Good. Starting from GOW2018, runes and symbols began to play an important role. There are symbols on the sword in an unknown language. Maybe it's something in ancient Mongolian. I suggest we translate together.

Update 1 About Sword:
I remember that some leaks mentioned Excalibur being in the game, so I decided to dig into it a bit. Here's what I found.
- Worthiness and the Sword in the Stone
The sword is embedded in a cube, which could be a reference to the Sword in the Stone legend—or perhaps something similar. Faye tries to convince Rue that she needs the sword, which reminds me of the Arthurian motif where only a worthy person can claim Excalibur.
- The Dragon on the Hilt
There's a dragon depicted on the sword's hilt. In the legends of King Arthur, Merlin is closely associated with dragons. It's possible that the sword was forged by dragons, belonged to them, or was created to slay them. Interestingly, Betce also resembles a dragon in appearance, which might explain why he's afraid of the weapon.
- The Sword's Rainbow Trail
If you watch the trailer in slow motion, you can see that the sword leaves behind a rainbow-colored trail. This reminded me of Caladbolg from Irish mythology, a sword that was said to unleash a massive arc of light. Some scholars and authors have linked Caladbolg to Excalibur or considered it one of the possible inspirations for King Arthur's legendary sword.
I also noticed that there are symbols on the other side of the blade as well, but unfortunately I haven't been able to find a clear enough frame to examine them properly.
It might be worth looking for something in Old English.
