The God of War: Ragnarok update was released on January 30th, bringing new features to the Edit Appearance Feature and the Black Bear Set.
Here is everything included in the update:
Update to the Edit Appearance Feature (AKA Transmog System)
For all PlayStation and PC players, the Edit Appearance feature (AKA the Transmog system), will no longer require gear to be fully upgraded to level 9 and will instead be available from the beginning of the game.
Armor of the Black Bear Set
Updated PS4 & PS5 Access to the Armor of the Black Bear Set
After this update, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 players will also get access to the Armor of the Black Bear set (no NG+ save required) via the first available Lost Items chest in new and in-progress saves.
PlayStation Network Sign-in Bonus on PC
When signed into an account for the PlayStation Network when playing God of War Ragnarök on PC, you will gain access to the Armor of the Black Bear set for Kratos at the first Lost Items chest in the Realm Between Realms (previously only accessible in a New Game+ run) and a resource bundle.
This set includes:
- Cloak of the Black Bear (Chest)
- Wraps of the Black Bear (Wrist)
- Belt of the Black Bear (Waist)
The resource bundle includes:
- 500 Hacksilver
- 250 XP
Those who have already begun a game can access the Lost Items Chest to claim these rewards. Additionally, Santa Monica Studios confirmed players can still access the Armor of the Black Bear set without a PSN Account by playing on New Game+. Signing into the PlayStation Network when playing on PC will now be optional for God of War: Ragnarok. Requiring a PSN Account for Sony’s game on PC was highly controversial, and many are glad it’s gone.
Anyone who hasn’t played God of War: Ragnarok, on PC or PlayStation, won’t find a better time time to jump into the game. It was recently added to the PlayStation Plus lineup, meaning anyone with the subscription service can download and play it for free. Both God of War and God of War: Ragnarok are highly acclaimed games, and are perfect for those looking for their next series. Both titles are available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5, and PC.
