The God of War Ragnarök update version 06.02 patch notes are now available, marking the celebration of the franchise's 20th anniversary with the introduction of the Dark Odyssey Collection. Santa Monica Studio has released comprehensive patch notes detailing the new content, which includes Dark Odyssey cosmetics for Kratos, Atreus, and Freya, along with refreshed looks for all of the God of War's iconic weaponry. This bundle of content is now accessible to all players at no additional cost.

This latest update enriches the game with Norse-themed cosmetics and introduces a new "Edit Appearance" feature. This customization option allows players to select their preferred aesthetics without compromising the unique abilities and skills of each armor set. Whether you're embarking on your first journey through the realms or returning for another adventure, now is an excellent time to dive into God of War Ragnarök on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, or PC.

While the Dark Odyssey Collection offers a plethora of cosmetic options that will delight long-time fans of the series, some had hoped for more from Santa Monica Studio's 20th-anniversary celebration. When the update was announced, there were calls for modern remasters of classics like God of War, God of War 2, and God of War 3. However, no such plans have been confirmed, leaving fans to speculate on future announcements.

Despite the absence of remasters, Sony continues to engage the God of War community with additional content such as new merchandise and vinyl releases. As you download the God of War Ragnarök 20th Anniversary Update, consider reading about why we think the series needs to reinvent itself for its next outing.
