To manage expectations and clarify the situation, Santa Monica Studio issued an official statement:
"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, fans were delighted with the release of new thematic artwork featuring Kratos alongside Jörmungandr. The event, set for March 22, will also include appearances by beloved actors from the God of War series. Attendees can look forward to seeing Terrence Carson, the iconic voice of Kratos, and Carole Ruggier, who brought Athena to life, among other notable figures from the franchise.
This panel promises to be a nostalgic journey through the rich history of God of War, celebrating its impact on gaming without the addition of new game announcements.
