The latest update for God of War Ragnarök, version 06.02, has arrived to commemorate the franchise's 20th anniversary with a wealth of new content, including the highly anticipated Dark Odyssey Collection. Santa Monica Studio has released the full patch notes, detailing everything included in this celebratory update, available to all players at no extra cost.
The update brings a variety of Norse-themed cosmetics and an updated appearance for Kratos, Atreus, and Freya, as well as a fresh look for all of the God of War's iconic weaponry. A highlight of the update is the introduction of the "Edit Appearance" feature, allowing players to customize their characters' looks without compromising the abilities and skills of their chosen armor. Whether you're embarking on your first journey through the realms or returning for another epic adventure, this update enhances the experience on 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 had hoped for more substantial celebrations from Santa Monica Studio. Calls for modern remasters of classics such as God of War, God of War 2, and God of War 3 were made following the announcement of the update, but no such plans have been confirmed yet. However, alongside the update, Sony is keeping the spirit of the franchise alive with new merchandise and vinyl releases, ensuring that the God of War community remains engaged and excited for the future. As you dive into the 20th Anniversary Update, explore why we believe the series needs to reinvent itself for its next outing.
