To celebrate the God of War series’ 20th anniversary on March 22, Sony has announced a slew of new merch for the series, including art prints, vinyl collections, collectibles, and more. One of the coolest is the God of War: 20th Anniversary Retrospective Set, which collects artwork from God of War’s 20-year history along with commentary from the developers. Preorders for the two-book collection are set to launch on March 17.
Preorders available March 17
The God of War: 20th Anniversary Retrospective Set is a two-volume hardcover book collection that features artwork, behind-the-scenes materials, and exclusive interviews with key members of each game’s development team. Volume One: Greek Saga covers the original God of War Trilogy and its numerous spinoffs, while Volume Two: Norse Saga details the development of God of War 2016 and God of War: Ragnarok. Both volumes come in an ornate collector’s box.
Pricing information has not been revealed, and we don’t know when the book set will launch. However, preorders will open on March 17, and we expect it will be available at all major book retailers. We’ll be sure to update with preorder links on Monday when the book is available to order.
Several other pieces of God of War 20th Anniversary merch were also announced, including a new collection of art prints from Cook & Becker that will be available to preorder starting March 18. That will be followed by a 67-inch plush of the serpent Jormungandr you’ll be able to preorder at Fangamer from March 19.
Then on March 20th, preorders will open for a massive 13-disc Limited Edition Vinyl set that includes each God of War game’s soundtrack. A separate collection will also be available based on just the original trilogy. The last piece of major merch is a God of War 20th Anniversary T-Shirt Collection. Each game in the series is getting its own shirt featuring its logo in metallic gold print on black fabric. Preorders for the t-shirt collection go live March 21.
The new merch is part of Sony’s big God of War 20th Anniversary celebration. Sony is offering a free 20th Anniversary Fan Kit that includes desktop backgrounds and PSN avatars. Fans can also look forward to other upcoming events like free cosmetic DLC packs for God of War Ragnarok based on the original God of War and God of War II, discounts for the God of War games on PlayStation Store and Steam, an official art exhibit at Gallery Nucleus in Los Angeles, California, and more.
