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 additions and enhancements in this celebratory update.

The Dark Odyssey Collection brings a host of Norse-themed cosmetics for Kratos, Atreus, and Freya, along with revamped appearances for all of God of War's iconic weapons. This bundle of content is available to all players at no extra cost, making it the perfect time to dive back into the world of God of War Ragnarök, whether you're playing on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, or PC.

One of the standout features of this update is the new "Edit Appearance" option. This allows players to customize their characters' looks without affecting the abilities and skills of their armor. Whether you're experiencing Kratos' battle against Thor and Odin for the first time or returning for another playthrough, this feature adds a fresh layer of personalization to your journey.

While the Dark Odyssey Collection offers a wealth of cosmetic options that will delight series veterans, some fans had hoped for more extensive celebrations, such as modern remasters of earlier titles like God of War, God of War 2, and God of War 3. Although no such plans have been announced, Sony continues to keep the franchise alive with new merchandise and vinyl releases, ensuring that God of War fans remain engaged and entertained.

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

[Game Version 06.02]

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.
