It has been some time since we have written about Smite, so in case you’ve forgotten: it is a third-person MOBA about duelling gods by which gamers management the likes of Anubis and Zeus. That makes it a barely odd match for brand new characters like Invader Zim or Rocko from Rocko’s Fashionable Life, however nicely, that is what is coming later this month, alongside a handful of different Nickelodeon characters.
This is the trailer:
Look, I believe all this cross-brand promotional metaverse stuff is nonsense, however… This one works for me. I do have nostalgia for a few of these characters – or for being a younger boy within the ’90s and watching these characters, at any price – and their presence right here is odd sufficient that I believe it really works given how odd the unique supply materials of those reveals was.
To be clear, these are merely cosmetics that apply to specific present characters, fairly than wholly new characters with their very own transfer units. How would a wallaby even struggle, anyway? There are 5 cosmetics in complete, together with Invader Zim for Cupid, Rocko for Danzaburou, Danny Phantom for Janus, Powdered Toastman from Ren & Stimpy for Gilgamesh, and XJ9 from My Life As A Teenage Robotic for Freya.
The crossover will start subsequent week on July twelfth.
It has been a very long time since we took a correct have a look at Smite, although it was all the time one of many higher and extra fascinating MOBAs in these gold rush days. I’ve most likely considered Nickelodeon extra just lately, given they launched Smash-style platform fighter Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl late final yr.
