Celebrate the 20th anniversary of the God of War franchise with the latest God of War Ragnarök update version 06.02, which introduces the exciting Dark Odyssey Collection. Santa Monica Studio has released comprehensive patch notes detailing all the new content available for players to enjoy at no extra cost.

The update brings a host of Norse-themed cosmetics, including the Dark Odyssey outfits for Kratos, Atreus, and Freya, alongside refreshed appearances for all of God of War's iconic weaponry. Dive into the game and experience the thrill of the Dark Odyssey Collection, which draws inspiration from the original God of War (2005) and its challenging God Mode skin from God of War II.

One of the standout features of this update is the new "Edit Appearance" option. This customization tool allows players to mix and match their favorite looks without compromising the unique abilities and skills of each armor set. Whether you're embarking on your first journey through the realms or revisiting the epic battles against Thor and Odin, now is the perfect time to jump back into God of War Ragnarök on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, or PC.

While the Dark Odyssey Collection offers a wealth of cosmetic options that will delight long-time fans, some were hoping for more from Santa Monica Studio's 20th-anniversary celebration. There were calls for modern remasters of classics like God of War, God of War 2, and God of War 3, but no such plans have been announced yet. However, with additional bonuses like new merchandise and vinyl releases, Sony continues to show its commitment to keeping the God of War community engaged and entertained.

As you download the God of War Ragnarök 20th Anniversary Update, take a moment to explore why we believe the series needs to reinvent itself for its next outing.

As a gift to everyone who owns God of War Ragnarök, the Dark Odyssey collection is now available in-game at no additional cost!

Inspired by the working name of God of War (2005) and the skin that originally appeared in God of War II as a reward for beating the game on God Mode difficulty, we have brought back the black and gold theme for the anniversary.
