God of War Ragnarok 20th Anniversary Update: Dark Odyssey Collection Patch Notes Revealed

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

The update features a range of Norse-themed cosmetics, including the Dark Odyssey outfits for Kratos, Atreus, and Freya, along with a refreshed appearance for all of Kratos' godly weaponry. This bundle of content is designed to delight fans and enhance their gaming experience.

One of the standout features of this update is the new "Edit Appearance" option, allowing players to customize the looks of their armor without compromising the specific abilities and skills associated with each piece. Whether you're diving into the game for the first time or revisiting the epic battles against Thor and Odin, this feature offers a fresh way to enjoy the game on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, or PC.

While the Dark Odyssey Collection brings a wealth of cosmetic options to the table, some fans were hoping for more substantial celebrations, such as modern remasters of the original God of War trilogy. Although no such plans have been announced, Sony continues to show dedication to the franchise with additional offerings like new merchandise and vinyl releases.

As you download the God of War Ragnarök 20th Anniversary Update, take a moment to explore why we think the series needs to reinvent itself for its next outing. The future looks bright for God of War fans, with plenty of content to keep them engaged for years to come.

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.
