The rumors, which suggested that remasters of classic God of War titles would be unveiled during the event, were fueled by comments from industry insider and journalist Jeff Grubb. This sparked a wave of excitement among fans, eager for news on their beloved series. In response, Santa Monica Studio issued a clear statement:
"Pantheons collide! We’re thrilled to present a lineup of Greek and Norse characters for this panel celebrating the 20th anniversary of God of War where we’ll reflect on the past two decades of the series. Given the star-studded lineup and the anticipation surrounding this milestone, we want to make it clear that no announcements are planned for this event." - Santa Monica Studio
Instead of game announcements, fans were delighted with new thematic artwork showcasing Kratos alongside Jörmungandr. The event will also feature appearances by actors from the God of War series, including Terrence Carson, the voice behind Kratos, and Carole Ruggier, who lent her voice to Athena. This special panel is set to take place on March 22, promising a nostalgic and celebratory look back at the series' rich history.
