Summary

  • God of War Ragnarok will receive a special update with new content inspired by the Greek games as a celebration of the franchise’s 20th anniversary.
  • This update will add the Dark Odyssey collection to God of War Ragnarok, which includes new armor sets, weapons, and shields, as well as a skin that directly references God of War 2.

Santa Monica Studio has announced that there will be a significant update for God of War Ragnarok arriving soon. This upcoming update is particularly exciting for long-term fans of the series, as it includes new content reminiscent of the Greek games to honor the franchise’s 20th anniversary.

The initial God of War game was released way back in 2005, earning a wealth of critical praise and financial success that laid the groundwork for one of PlayStation’s most cherished series. For six consecutive games, this franchise drew upon Greek mythology as its foundational storyline. However, in 2018, the God of War series underwent a subtle reboot, shifting the narrative to a new Norse mythology context. The latest installment, God of War Ragnarok, debuted in 2022 and marked the conclusion of the Norse saga, leaving open numerous prospects for future developments.

To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the initial release of the “God of War” game in March 2025, Santa Monica Studio is treating players of “God of War Ragnarok” with some nostalgic content as a gift. On Thursday, March 20, an update for “God of War Ragnarok” will be released on PS4/PS5 and PC, which will introduce the Dark Odyssey collection. This assortment of in-game items is inspired by earlier “God of War” titles and carries a name that pays homage to the development code name for the original game: Dark Odyssey. Notably, the Dark Odyssey Appearance for Kratos will be included in this collection. This black-and-gold skin is reminiscent of the reward given for successfully completing “God of War 2” on its most challenging God Mode difficulty.

As a player diving into the epic world of God of War Ragnarok, I can personally attest that Kratos is now sporting the Dark Odyssey Armor Set – a themed ensemble complete with a breastplate, belt, and bracers. Not to be outshone, my companions Atreus and Freya are also donning garments inspired by the same Dark Odyssey theme. The armor set features an eye-catching black-and-gold color scheme that extends not only to Kratos’ weapons but also their attachments, as well as his shields. It’s essential to mention that this dark and mysterious aesthetic can only be unlocked once the weapons are fully upgraded. Furthermore, an exciting new feature called Edit Appearance is being added, allowing me to customize not just the weapons, but also the attachments and shield ronds to truly make them my own.

Even though some enthusiasts of the game “God of War” are thrilled about the upcoming free content, others are still in suspense regarding a significant rumor. For quite a while now, there have been whispers of a remastered collection for the “God of War” Greek saga. Additionally, it was said that these re-releases would allegedly be unveiled during the 20th anniversary celebration event of the franchise on March 22nd. Regrettably, Santa Monica Studio has stated that they have no new announcements for “God of War” planned for this specific event.
