Summary
Santa Monica Studio has poured cold water on the prospect of any new announcements surrounding theGod of Warfranchise during its upcoming 20th anniversary celebration. ManyGod of Warfans were hoping that this anniversary event could finally reveal the rumored Greek saga remasters, but it seems Santa Monica Studio has no such plans.
God of Waris not only one of the most popular PlayStation franchises, but also one of the longest-running. Kicked off in 2005 on the PS2, theclassicGod of Wargames used Greek mythologyas their narrative backdrop. The final GreekGod of Wargame launched in 2013 in the form ofGod of War: Ascensionon the PS3, with the series then rebooted in 2018 with a Norse mythology angle. However, none of the GreekGod of Wargames (barringGod of War 3) are playable on PS4 and PS5, and many fans wish for the classics to be brought forward.
It doesn’t come as much of a surprise, then, that last year’s rumors of aGod of WarGreek saga remastered collection for PS5 spread like wildfire in the community. Credible industry insider Jeff Grubb even claimed a few weeks ago that theGod of Warremasters would break coveraround the same time as the series' 20th anniversary this month, generating significant hype among fans. Unfortunately, Santa Monica Studio seems to have caught wind of the speculation and has promptlydashed hopes of an imminent announcement for the alleged GreekGod of Warremasters.
Santa Monica Studio Won’t Make Any God of War-Related Announcements at 20th Anniversary Event
Over on Twitter, Santa Monica Studio recently announced a panel featuring various voice actors who lent their talents to theGod of Warseries, which will be held alongside a Los Angeles-based art exhibition celebrating the franchise’s 20th anniversary. Wedged right in between the tweet was a statement confirming thatthere are “no planned announcements for this event,“effectively ruling out the possibility of the rumoredGod of WarGreek saga remastered collectionshowing up during the panel or art exhibition.
God of Warfans are understandably disheartened by the news, with some even wondering if Santa Monica Studio is being very deliberate with its wording and could announce the Greek saga remastered collection via a PlayStation blog post instead of at the 20th anniversary event. It remains to be seen how things shake out vis-à-vis theGod of Warremasters, but the 20th anniversary panel should still be notable for fans as it’ll featureoriginal Kratos voice actor TC Carsonalongside Christopher Judge, the current voice actor for the beloved character.
