■ Dark Odyssey Collection – In-Game Update for God of War Ragnarok

As a gift to everyone who owns God of War Ragnarok, on March 20 we will be releasing an update for all players on PlayStation and PC that includes the “Dark Odyssey” collection at no additional cost.

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 is live, you’ll be able access the collection below from any Lost Items chest in the base game or automatically while in Valhalla.
