To commemorate the franchise's 20th anniversary, God of War Ragnarök's 06.02 update introduces the Dark Odyssey Collection package with exclusive cosmetic enhancements.
Santa Monica Studio has released comprehensive patch notes detailing this celebratory update. Players can now equip Kratos, Atreus, and Freya with striking Dark Odyssey armor sets, alongside refreshed visual upgrades for all divine weapons—all available immediately as a free download.
Beyond Norse-inspired cosmetic additions, this update introduces an "Edit Appearance" feature, letting players customize their favorite armor aesthetics without compromising stat bonuses. Whether you're experiencing Kratos' battle against Norse gods for the first time or revisiting the adventure, the enhanced experience is now available across PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC platforms.
While the Dark Odyssey Collection satisfies fans with extensive cosmetic options, some players anticipated more substantial anniversary content—potentially including remastered versions of classic God of War titles—though no such announcements have surfaced yet.
The update coincides with other franchise celebrations including merchandise releases and vinyl soundtracks, demonstrating Sony's ongoing commitment to the series. As players download this anniversary update, they might consider how future installments could evolve the franchise formula.
