In a statement, the studio announced:
"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 reveals, attendees can look forward to fresh thematic artwork featuring Kratos alongside Jörmungandr. The event will also feature appearances by key actors from the God of War series, including Terrence Carson, the original voice of Kratos, and Carole Ruggier, who lent her voice to Athena. This special panel is set to take place on March 22.
This clarification from Santa Monica Studio ensures fans are well-informed, setting the stage for a memorable celebration of the God of War legacy without the anticipation of new game announcements.
