Santa Monica Studio has ruled out making any God of War announcements at a 20th anniversary panel for the series on 22nd March 2025, throwing into question recent speculation surrounding potential remasters of the original games. The potential re-releases gained traction when Giant Bomb journalist Jeff Grubb suggested Sony would share confirmation “closer to” the 20th anniversary, and you cannot get any closer than a celebratory panel exactly 20 years after the North American release of God of War.
Pouring cold water on the God of War fanbase’s excitement, the developer said: “With such a stellar lineup and all the anticipation we’ve seen around the anniversary, we do want to be clear that there are no planned announcements for this event.”
The event in question is a panel bringing together the voice actors of various God of War titles alongside a Los Angeles-based art exhibition. “Explore an exclusive showcase of tribute art, concept art, and memorabilia that highlights the rich legacy of this incredible series,” the promo page reads. “Don’t miss out on photos ops and other exciting activities that will immerse you in the world of God of War!” You can learn more through the link.
The wording Santa Monica Studio uses is directly in relation to the event and doesn’t completely rule out the developer making such an announcement on its own terms online. There’s still just enough wiggle room for someone to convince themselves the reveal is imminent, but the voice actor panel isn’t where the news will be shared — if it even exists at all.
