Santa Monica Studio has revealed a new God of War Ragnarok patch will go live for PS5, PS4 consoles tomorrow (30th January 2025) that brings forward the ability to transmog your gear and access to an armour set previously exclusive to New Game+.
Having downloaded the update, the Armor of the Black Bear set will be available to claim in a normal playthrough from the first Lost Items chest you encounter. This set was previously only found in a New Game+ run, but that requirement has now been dropped. Additionally, the transmogrification system, which allows you to change a piece of armour's appearance into something else while retaining the original's stats, will be available straight away from the beginning of the game. Previously, you'd need to fully upgrade the armour to level 9 to unlock the ability.
