God of War's 20th Anniversary: Free Ragnarök Update & Skins

Mar 14, 2025 8:09 PM

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the God of War series, Sony is releasing a free update for God of War Ragnarök on March 20, 2025. This update introduces classic skins, including the Dark Odyssey armor for Kratos, inspired by the original 2007 God of War 2. Players on PC and PlayStation will have access to this nostalgic content, featuring new appearances for weapons like the Leviathan Axe and Blades of Chaos. The update also includes new armor for Kratos' companions, Freya and Atreus. In addition to in-game content, the anniversary festivities will encompass real-world items such as a two-volume retrospective book, art prints, clothing, and an impressive 67-inch plushie of the World Serpent, Jörmungandr, which doubles as a puppet.

What new features can players expect from the God of War Ragnarök update?

Players can look forward to the introduction of the Dark Odyssey armor and appearance for Kratos, as well as updated looks for weapons and companion characters Freya and Atreus. These features will be available to download for free starting March 20, 2025, adding a nostalgic element to the game while celebrating two decades of the franchise.

The God of War series, created by Santa Monica Studio, has significantly impacted action-adventure gaming since its launch in 2005. Each installment typically follows the journey of Kratos, a former Greek god seeking redemption through an epic narrative filled with mythological themes and intense combat. God of War Ragnarök, released in late 2022, continued this legacy, further expanding on Kratos' adventures and his relationship with his son, Atreus, while weaving in elements from Norse mythology.
