The rumors, which gained traction after being echoed by insider and journalist Jeff Grubb, hinted at the announcement of remastered versions of classic God of War titles. This news sparked considerable excitement among fans, eager for new content from the beloved series. However, Santa Monica Studio has now 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 game announcements, the studio delighted fans with new thematic artwork that features Kratos alongside Jörmungandr. Additionally, the event will include appearances by notable actors from the God of War series, such as Terrence Carson, who lent his voice to Kratos, and Carole Ruggier, the voice behind Athena. This panel, set to take place on March 22, promises to be a memorable celebration of the franchise's rich history without the addition of new game announcements.
