God of War Ragnarok 20th Anniversary Update 06.02 Patch Notes Detail Dark Odyssey Collection Contents

The latest update for God of War Ragnarök, version 06.02, has arrived just in time to celebrate the franchise's monumental 20th anniversary. Santa Monica Studio has rolled out the patch notes, giving us a deep dive into the exciting Dark Odyssey Collection that comes packed with a variety of Norse-themed cosmetics for Kratos, Atreus, and Freya, as well as a refreshed look for all of Kratos' legendary weaponry. This bundle of content is now available at no extra cost, making it a must-have for all fans.

One of the standout features of this update is the new "Edit Appearance" option, allowing players to customize their gear's look without affecting the armor's abilities and skills. This means you can tailor Kratos' appearance to your liking, whether you're embarking on your first journey through the realms of Norse mythology or revisiting the epic battles against Thor and Odin. This feature is available across all platforms, including PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC.

While the Dark Odyssey Collection offers an array of cosmetic options that are sure to delight long-time fans, some were hoping for more from Santa Monica Studio's 20th-anniversary celebration. There were calls for modern remasters of classics like God of War, God of War 2, and God of War 3 following last week's announcement, but no such plans have been confirmed yet.

Nevertheless, alongside the update, Sony continues to engage the community with new merchandise and vinyl releases, ensuring that the celebration of God of War extends far beyond the game itself. As you dive into the 20th Anniversary Update for God of War Ragnarök, don't miss out on our thoughts on why the series might need to reinvent itself for its next chapter.

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.
