The “Dark Odyssey” collection is set to go live on March 20. In it, players have the chance to grab a few special attires to celebrate God of War‘s 20th anniversary! There’s a tiny wrinkle we have to discuss, but we’ll get there when we get there.

there’s one small catch, though

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

“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 to access the collection below from any Lost Items chest in the base game or automatically while in Valhalla.”

Only a small bit of “fine print,” though. “Please note, the weapon appearances are made for the fully upgraded version of each weapon and will only be available for use upon reaching that upgrade.”
