Celebrate God of War’s 20th Anniversary with Sony’s Iconic Skins in Ragnarok for PC and PS5

The Legacy of God of War: Celebrating 30 Years

Since its debut in 2005, God of War has established itself as a cornerstone of the gaming world, captivating players across generations of PlayStation consoles. To mark its remarkable 30th anniversary, Sony has unveiled exciting plans including a significant update for God of War Ragnarök.

Introducing the Dark Odyssey Collection

Initially referred to during the early development as the Dark Odyssey Collection, this revitalizing patch will be available for both PC and PlayStation 5 users starting March 20. Players can expect a host of changes affecting character appearances as well as Kratos’ array of weapons.

According to the developers, “Inspired by the working name of God of War (2005) and the skin that originally appeared in God of War II as a reward for beating the game on God Mode difficulty, we are bringing the classic black and gold theme for the 20th anniversary.” Once the update goes live, players will have the opportunity to access this collection through any Lost Items chest within the base game or automatically in Valhalla.

What’s Included in the Update?

The new “Edit Appearance”feature will allow players to customize Kratos’ items with these fresh skins, creating a unique experience within the game.

Real-World Celebrations and Merchandise Launch

In addition to the digital update, Sony and Santa Monica Studio are organizing various promotional events to celebrate this significant milestone. A standout event is the Gallery Nucleus Exhibition, taking place in Los Angeles, California, from March 15 through 23. This exhibition will showcase a collection of artwork, concept sketches, and memorabilia documenting the franchise’s evolution over the years.

Furthermore, a special line of 20th anniversary merchandise will debut, featuring a two-volume retrospective book on the game’s development, an exclusive art print collection, plush toys, a comprehensive 13-disc soundtrack on vinyl, a T-shirt collection, and more.
