Santa Monica Studio has released the patch notes for the God of War Ragnarök Update 06.02, marking the franchise's 20th anniversary with the introduction of the Dark Odyssey Collection. This update is packed with exciting content that celebrates the legacy of the series, offering a variety of cosmetic enhancements for Kratos, Atreus, and Freya, as well as updated appearances for all of the game's iconic weaponry. The best part? This bundle of Norse-themed goodies is available to all players at no extra cost.
One of the standout features of this update is the new "Edit Appearance" option, which allows players to customize their characters' looks without compromising the unique abilities and skills of each armor set. Whether you're embarking on your first journey to battle Thor and Odin or revisiting the epic saga, now is the perfect time to dive into God of War Ragnarök. The update supports PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the festivities.
While the Dark Odyssey Collection adds a delightful array of cosmetic options that will surely please long-time fans, some were hoping for more substantial 20th-anniversary celebrations from Santa Monica Studio. There were calls for modern remasters of classics like God of War, God of War 2, and God of War 3 following the announcement of the update. However, no such plans have been confirmed yet.
Despite the absence of remasters, Sony remains committed to keeping the God of War community engaged with additional content like new merchandise and vinyl releases.

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.
