Sony and game developer Santa Monica Studio have unveiled the Dark Odyssey collection, a thrilling update for God of War Ragnarök set to launch next week. This update introduces a variety of in-game equipment inspired by one of the franchise's most iconic outfits, available to all players on PlayStation 5 and PC.
In a recent PlayStation.Blog post, Sony outlined the exciting additions coming with the God of War 20th anniversary celebration. The highlight is undoubtedly the Dark Odyssey collection, a free update scheduled for March 20. This update brings a sleek black-and-gold aesthetic to the game, enhancing the visual appeal of Kratos, Atreus, and Freya as they navigate the rich tapestry of Norse mythology.
The Dark Odyssey update includes a stunning armor set and appearance for Kratos, reminiscent of a legendary skin from God of War 2 that was exclusive to players who conquered the game on God Mode difficulty. This much-coveted set can be claimed from any Lost Items chest in the base game or directly in the roguelike Valhalla mode upon the update's release. Additionally, players will now have the option to customize the appearance of Kratos' weapons without impacting their abilities, adding a new layer of personalization to the gameplay experience.

God of War Ragnarök, which launched in late 2022, marks a significant chapter in the series' storied 20-year history. Sony's comprehensive celebration of the franchise goes beyond this update, offering a plethora of activities and promotions for long-time fans. These include downloadable social media assets available here, an art showcase in collaboration with Los Angeles' Gallery Nucleus, new merchandise, sales, and a series of vinyl releases that span the franchise's history.
Santa Monica Studio expressed their gratitude to the fans, stating, "On behalf of everyone at Santa Monica Studio, we are immeasurably grateful to have had the chance to build the legacy of this series with and for you, the fans of God of War."
