Santa Monica Studio has doused fan expectations regarding potential new announcements at the God of War 20th anniversary event. The community buzzed with anticipation, eager for news about suggested remasters of the Greek saga. However, the studio has clarified that such plans are not currently in the works.
Clarification on Anniversary Event Announcements
The God of War franchise, launched in 2005 on the PlayStation 2, has cemented its place as one of the most beloved and enduring series in gaming history. Rooted in Greek mythology, its last title set in that era was God of War: Ascension, released in 2013. Since the series shifted gears to Norse mythology with the 2018 reboot, fans have expressed a desire for accessible remasters of the classic titles, especially since only God of War 3 is available on newer console generations.
Last year’s speculation regarding a remastered collection of the Greek saga for PS5 gained substantial traction, encouraged by credible sources in the gaming industry. Insider Jeff Grubb hinted that the long-awaited announcements might coincide with the anniversary this month. Unfortunately, Santa Monica Studio has responded to this excitement by announcing that no formal announcements are planned for the event, likely extinguishing the hopes of getting news on the remasters.

In an update via social media, Santa Monica Studio announced plans for a panel that will include multiple voice actors who have portrayed characters in the God of War series. However, they reiterated that there are no anticipated announcements regarding the remastered collection during these events.
Although many fans are understandably disappointed by the current lack of new remaster news, some speculated that Santa Monica Studio’s phrasing might leave room for an announcement via a different platform, such as the PlayStation blog. Regardless, the anniversary panel will feature significant contributors to the franchise, including TC Carson, who first brought Kratos to life, alongside Christopher Judge, the voice of Kratos in recent titles.
While the anticipation for remasters remains, the 20th anniversary panel is set to be a memorable occasion for fans, showcasing the evolution of the series and its impact over the last two decades.
