God of War Ragnarok 20th Anniversary Update: Patch 06.02 Reveals Dark Odyssey Collection Details

The latest update for God of War Ragnarök, version 06.02, is here to celebrate the franchise's 20th anniversary with the introduction of the Dark Odyssey Collection. Santa Monica Studio has released the full patch notes, detailing everything included in this celebratory update, which is now available at no extra cost.

The update brings a range of Norse-themed cosmetics, including the Dark Odyssey skins for Kratos, Atreus, and Freya, along with updated appearances for all of Kratos' godly weaponry. This update also introduces a new customization feature called "Edit Appearance," which allows players to select their preferred looks without affecting the armor's abilities and skills. Whether you're embarking on your first journey or revisiting the saga, this is the perfect time to dive into God of War Ragnarök on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, or PC.

While the Dark Odyssey Collection provides a rich array of cosmetic options, some fans had hoped for remasters of classic titles like God of War, God of War 2, and God of War 3. However, no such plans have been announced. Despite this, the update, coupled with new merchandise and vinyl releases, shows Sony's commitment to keeping the God of War community engaged. As you download the 20th Anniversary Update, consider reading about why the series might need to reinvent itself for its next installment.

[Game Version 06.02]

As a gift to all God of War Ragnarök owners, 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.
