The rumors, which hinted at the announcement of classic God of War remasters, gained traction, especially after being supported by industry insider and journalist Jeff Grubb. This led to a wave of excitement among the fanbase. In response, Santa Monica Studio released a statement to set the record straight:
"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 unveiling new games, fans were delighted with the release of new thematic artwork showcasing Kratos and Jörmungandr. The event will also feature appearances by beloved actors from the God of War series, including Terrence Carson, the voice behind Kratos, and Carole Ruggier, who brought Athena to life. This special panel is set to take place on March 22, promising a nostalgic journey through the saga's history.
