The rumors, which were amplified by the insights of industry insider and journalist Jeff Grubb, suggested that the studio would unveil remasters of the classic God of War titles during the event. This sparked a wave of excitement and anticipation among the franchise's dedicated fanbase, leading Santa Monica Studio to provide clarity on the matter:
"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
Rather than game announcements, fans were treated to new thematic artwork featuring Kratos and Jörmungandr. The event will also include appearances by beloved actors from the God of War series, such as Terrence Carson, who lent his voice to Kratos, and Carole Ruggier, the voice behind Athena. The panel is scheduled to take place on March 22, offering fans a chance to celebrate the series' rich history without the anticipation of new game reveals.
