God of War Ragnarok Celebrates Franchise's 20-Year Anniversary With Dark Odyssey Cosmetic Update Next Week

Author : Grace Mar 21,2025

Sony and Santa Monica Studio have unveiled the Dark Odyssey collection, a free update for God of War Ragnarök arriving next week. This update features in-game equipment themed after one of the franchise's most iconic outfits.

Detailed in a PlayStation Blog post, the Dark Odyssey collection is a highlight of Sony's God of War 20th-anniversary celebrations. Available for free on PlayStation 5 and PC starting March 20th, it offers a suite of cosmetic items for all God of War Ragnarök owners.

The Dark Odyssey collection boasts a sleek black-and-gold aesthetic, giving Kratos, Atreus, and Freya stylish new looks. The update includes cosmetic sets for all three characters, along with various weapon and shield appearances.

The centerpiece is a Dark Odyssey appearance and armor set for Kratos, reminiscent of a skin previously only obtainable by completing God of War II on God Mode. Players can acquire this content from any Lost Items chest in the main game or directly in Ragnarök's Valhalla mode after the update. The patch also introduces the ability to customize Kratos' weapon appearances without affecting their abilities.
