The rumors, which gained traction after being mentioned by industry insider Jeff Grubb, suggested that fans could expect announcements of remasters for the classic God of War titles at the upcoming event. This sparked a wave of excitement and anticipation among the fanbase, eager for new content from the beloved franchise.

However, Santa Monica Studio was quick to clarify the situation, stating:

"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 new game announcements, attendees and fans were treated to new thematic artwork showcasing Kratos alongside Jörmungandr, adding a visual treat to the celebration. Additionally, the event will feature appearances by notable actors from the God of War series, including Terrence Carson, the voice behind Kratos, and Carole Ruggier, who brought Athena to life. The panel is set to take place on March 22, promising a nostalgic and engaging experience for fans of the franchise.
