The rumors hinted at the possibility of classic God of War remasters being unveiled during the event, a notion that was further fueled by comments from insider and journalist Jeff Grubb. This sparked a wave of excitement among the fanbase, leading Santa Monica Studio to step in and clarify the situation:
"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 beloved 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 engaging celebration of the franchise's rich history.
