God of War Ragnarök’s latest update, version 06.02, arrives just in time for the franchise’s 20th anniversary, bringing the highly anticipated Dark Odyssey Collection. Santa Monica Studio has gone into detail about all the goodies included in this free update, which adds new cosmetics for Kratos, Atreus, and Freya, and new looks for the game’s legendary weapons.
God of War Ragnarök 20th Anniversary Update Brings Dark Odyssey Collection and New Customization Feature
Also, this update introduces a huge customization feature — “Edit Appearance” which lets players change the look of their character without affecting armor stats. Whether you’re witnessing Kratos’ war against Thor and Odin for the first time, or are diving back in once again, now is the time to return to God of War Ragnarök for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC. Though the Dark Odyssey Collection offers cool cosmetic options for long-time fans, some were hoping for something larger to commemorate the series’ milestone.
Speculation had run rampant about modern remasters of older releases such as God of War, God of War 2, and God of War 3, but none have been announced. For all that, though, Sony still finds other ways to celebrate the franchise, with new merchandise and vinyl soundtrack releases. The update reintroduces the black-and-gold aesthetic from the development phase of the original God of War, as well as Dark Odyssey armor for Kratos, Atreus, and Freya.
Players will also gear up new appearances and attachments not just for weapons of the Leviathan Axe, Blades of Chaos, and Draupnir Spear, but also for shield variations like the Guardian Shield and Spartan Aspis. Additionally, the new weapon attachments and shield options now support the “Edit Appearance” feature, letting players mix and match visuals while maintaining optimal stats. As you download the 20th Anniversary Update, you can explore all the new content and read more about why the series may need to reinvent itself in the future.
