Santa Monica Studio has shared a new set of classic skins, weapons, and items will be added to God of War Ragnarok next week to celebrate the iconic series' 20th anniversary.

For PS5 and PS4, a free patch will introduce a Dark Odyssey Collection that contains a skin inspired by one from God of War 2 that you got for beating it on God Mode.

Named the Dark Odyssey Collection after the working title for the original game, this bundle of items comes with its own armour set for Kratos, additional items for Atreus and Freya, and a series of weapon attachments, appearance modifiers, and shield skins. See them all below:

God of War Ragnarok 20th Anniversary Update PS5 PS4 2

In addition to the God of War Ragnarok update, the developer has shared some wider plans to celebrate the franchise's 20th anniversary. These plans include a fan kit, a new PSN avatar releasing on 20th March, new merch, art prints, and a cute plushie based on Jörmungandr. There's also going to be vinyls, clothing, and PS Store sales. You can learn more on the PlayStation Blog.

In the post, lead community manager Grace Orlady thanked all of the fans for helping to build a 20-year legacy for God of War. "Thank you for joining us on this adventure, we hope you’ll stay with us for many years to come."

There have been rumours circulating of a remastered God of War collection for PS5 being announced around the time of the 20th anniversary, so if those suggestions do come to fruition, look out for something next week.

However, in terms of the planned voice actor panel at least, Santa Monica Studio has already stated it doesn't have any announcements to make or news to share.
