The studio issued a clear statement to clarify the nature of the event:
"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 unveiling new 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 scheduled to take place on March 22, promising a nostalgic and celebratory look back at the series' storied history.
