The much-anticipated God of War Ragnarök update version 06.02 has arrived, bringing with it a celebration of the franchise's 20th anniversary through the introduction of the Dark Odyssey Collection. This update, detailed in the patch notes released by Santa Monica Studio, offers a wealth of new content and features for players to enjoy at no extra cost.
The Dark Odyssey Collection is a highlight of the update, featuring new cosmetic options for Kratos, Atreus, and Freya. Players can now adorn Kratos with the Dark Odyssey Armor Set, including the Dark Odyssey Breastplate, Bracers, and Belt. Additionally, Atreus and Freya receive their own unique outfits—the Dark Odyssey Vestment and Witch Frock, respectively. The collection also extends to Kratos' weaponry, with updated appearances and attachments for the Leviathan Axe, Blades of Chaos, and Draupnir Spear, as well as a range of Dark Odyssey Shields.
A significant addition to the update is the "Edit Appearance" feature, allowing players to customize their favorite looks without compromising the abilities and skills of specific armor sets. This feature extends to weapon and shield attachments, giving players the freedom to tailor their visual style to their preferred gameplay build.
Whether you're playing on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, or PC, now is an excellent time to dive back into God of War Ragnarök. The update not only celebrates the franchise's rich history but also enhances the player experience with its new customization options.
While the Dark Odyssey Collection has been met with enthusiasm, some fans had hoped for more extensive celebrations, such as modern remasters of the original God of War trilogy. Although no such plans have been announced, the update, along with other anniversary initiatives like new merchandise and vinyl releases, demonstrates Sony's commitment to keeping the God of War community engaged and entertained.
As you download the God of War Ragnarök 20th Anniversary Update, take a moment to reflect on the series' legacy and consider what the future might hold. For more insights, you can read about why we believe the series needs to reinvent itself for its next outing.
