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

Santa Monica Studio has rolled out the much-anticipated God of War Ragnarök update version 06.02, bringing with it the exciting Dark Odyssey Collection to celebrate the franchise's 20th anniversary. This latest update is packed with Norse-themed goodies, including exclusive Dark Odyssey cosmetics for Kratos, Atreus, and Freya, along with a stunning update to the appearances of all of God of War's iconic weaponry. Best of all, this content is available to all players at no extra cost, ensuring everyone can enjoy the celebration.

One of the standout features of this update is the new "Edit Appearance" option. This feature allows players to customize their favorite looks without compromising the abilities and skills of each armor set. Whether you're diving into the epic battles against Thor and Odin for the first time or returning for another playthrough, now is the perfect time to jump back into God of War Ragnarök. This update supports PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC, making it accessible to a wide audience.

While the Dark Odyssey Collection offers a rich assortment of cosmetic options that will delight long-time fans, some were hoping for more from Santa Monica Studio to mark the franchise's milestone. Last week's announcement sparked discussions among the community, with many calling for modern remasters of classics like God of War, God of War 2, and God of War 3. However, no such plans have been confirmed yet, leaving fans to enjoy the current update and other anniversary bonuses, including new merchandise and vinyl releases, as they await future announcements.

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.

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.
