The rumors, which suggested that classic God of War remasters would be announced during the event, were even supported by industry insider and journalist Jeff Grubb. This sparked considerable excitement among fans, leading Santa Monica Studio to issue a direct clarification:
"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 treated to new thematic artwork featuring Kratos and Jörmungandr, adding to the excitement of the celebration. The event will also feature appearances by beloved actors from the God of War series, including Terrence Carson, the voice of Kratos, and Carole Ruggier, who voiced Athena. This special panel is scheduled for March 22, promising a nostalgic journey through the epic saga of God of War.
