God of Warfans received disappointing news recently, as developer Santa Monica Studio confirmed that the franchise’s upcoming 20th anniversary celebration won’t hold any major announcements. For months now, rumors and speculation surrounding such an important milestone for theGod of Warseries have created high hopes, but any major announcements may be a longer wait than anticipated.
Santa Monica Studio revealed in a tweet that an anniversary panel featuringa variety ofGod of Warvoice actorswould be part of the celebration. However, in that same tweet was the confirmation that there were not any planned announcements regarding future projects. This unfortunate update puts to rest months of rumors suggesting that aGod of WarGreek trilogy remaster is on the way; at least for now.
A God of War Trilogy Remaster Can Still Happen, it May Just Not Be This Year
Santa Monica Studio Side-Stepping the Perfect Moment
Considering thatGod of War’s 20th anniversary would be the ultimate time to announce a planned trilogy, sequel, or spin-off, it now feels highly unlikely that Santa Monica Studio will bring forth any significant update this year. Ever sinceRagnaroklaunched, many have wondered where the story could be headed next after such an open ending, with a lot of fans expectingan EgyptianGod of Wartale. Of course, this may still be part of Santa Monica Studio’s plans forGod of Warin the future, but as of now, any sequel ideas are being kept under wraps. No sequel in sight is disappointing, but one of the biggest questions now is regarding when the rumored trilogy will be announced, if at all.
The firstGod of Wargame launched on June 14, 2025, setting into motion the beginning of one of Sony’s biggest franchises.
A God of War Trilogy Remaster Has Been Highly-Anticipated
Word of aGod of Wartrilogy remaster has been circulating on the internetas far back as 2023. With these being the three games that kickstartedGod of War’s impressive legacy in gaming, a remaster feels like a no-brainer, but whether it will arrive this year or not now remains to be seen. There are still a few places where Santa Monica Studio could announce a trilogy, though. Summer Game Fest, The Game Awards, or an unannounced PlayStation showcase may also bring forth long-awaited news, but that would also seem like a strange move on the developer’s part. If Santa Monica Studio wants to get the most out of such an important celebration, it only makes sense to make a trilogy or sequel announcement at the event fans would be eyeing the most.
This unfortunate update puts to rest months of rumors suggesting that aGod of WarGreek trilogy remaster is on the way; at least for now.
God of War’s Future Now Remains a Mystery
With no plans being revealed atGod of War’s 20th anniversary event,the future of Kratos' storynow sits in the shadow of mystery. After the finale ofRagnarok, Kratos and his son Atreus parted ways, leaving many eager to learn about what will become of the father and son duo.
Kratos' original voice actor, TC Carson, and the character’s current voice actor, Christopher Judge, will both be present at the 20th anniversary panel.
It seems as though 2025 may not be destined to bring players the trilogy remaster they have been hoping for. On the bright side, there is still the possibility of such an announcement happening next year, but missing the 20th anniversary is a letdown. Until Santa Monica Studio shares official word of the franchise’s plans,God of War’s next movewill remain unknown.
