Santa Monica Studio issued a clear statement to temper the excitement and clarify their intentions for the event. They emphasized that the focus would be on celebrating the past two decades of the God of War series, featuring a star-studded lineup of Greek and Norse characters. The studio's message was straightforward:
"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
Rather than game announcements, attendees were treated to new thematic artwork showcasing Kratos alongside Jörmungandr. Additionally, the event will feature special appearances by actors from the God of War series, including Terrence Carson, who lends his voice to Kratos, and Carole Ruggier, known for her role as Athena. This panel is scheduled to take place on March 22, promising a nostalgic journey through the series' history without any new game reveals.
