The studio issued a statement to temper the anticipation, 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 the anticipated game announcements, attendees were treated to new thematic artwork featuring Kratos and Jörmungandr, adding to the celebration's allure. The event will also feature special appearances by actors from the God of War series, including Terrence Carson, who lent his voice to Kratos, and Carole Ruggier, the voice behind Athena. This panel, set to take place on March 22, promises to be a memorable reflection on the legacy of the God of War franchise, without any new game announcements.
