Who else stopped playing Smite but keeps watching these videos?

I love the new Tyr skin

Put me in the game

No they did not run out of gods. They just want to add in legends, Kings, monsters, Demigods, etc. just play the damn game man Edit: Thank you everyone for commenting your opinions I respect you for not being completely toxic :)

King Arthur vs King Ar-Tyr

This is the closest thing to a Christian pantheon.

"But, I'm already Saber" - Said Literally Every Saber in the Fate Series. Trust me, I'm expecting a Saber skin now, Smite.

I would have loled so hard if the narrator was Excalibur. "Excalibuuuur!!! ExcalibuurRrRr!!!"

When are they doing Gilgamesh?

anime version of Arthur in Fate/stay unlimited blade works be like *EXALIBUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUR*

Smite has to be in my top 10 games of all time. You guys actually love what you are doing and this can be seen in game. Love this game.

Fate/Stay Night skin when?

Heroes always get remembered, but you know Legends never die. THAT'S why Arthurian figures.

That feeling when King Arthur isn’t a hot anime waifu.

Everytime I play him I’m gonna sing the Excalibur’s song from soul eater

I'd like to see HP lovecraft gods in smite.

this is probably the best hero u have created... from looks to animations, kit, gameplay, fun... damn straight 10/10

Might as well partener with Type-Moon and bring Gilgamesh to the game. Would literally be the most overpowered god.

King Arthur is my number 1 favorite waifu!

Big sword, big armour, spin to win, I garentee you I find this familiar.

How about fix party invite?

Wait, is that a League of Legends logo at 0:32?

So when's the Arthuria skin coming out?

Arhur!? In smite?! Good lord it's been a while since I last played... Might have to play again

Where the hell is 100% Excalibur charge!!!! Where is my gigantic laser beam shooting from EXCALIBURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

When are we gonna have the God Emperor of Mankind and the Primarchs?

I see Arthur’s kit and it just reminds me of cloud from ff7. His abilities and play style match perfectly. Excalibur’s Wrath is just omnislash in Smite.

Guan Yu, Hercules, Medusa and Arachne arent Gods either, so all you people complaining about "Running Out of Gods" need to either admit you've unintentionally been ok with non-gods this whole time or shut up.

Ah yes Arthur, wielder of excalibur -mERLIN'S TWINK-

Finally another warrior

Never played the game but seeing that name "Arthur , wielder of excalibur" peaked my interest. Great artwork for the intro video.

Cool! now can you fix all the bugs please?

Can we talk about the way the horse in the lore walks? 0:43

GREAT ÆTHER!!! As an Ike and Cloud main i love his ult

So during the final follow-up the narrator refers to arthurs alt as excaliburs wrath, but the first display showed that it was called excaliburs fury?

Man whipped out the moonlight greatsword

I love these kinds of mechanically unique characters in games. Also, I’d advise ability based items for his majesty. Soul eater, crusher, and gladiator shield together seem good. His ability spam is great for soul eaters life steal, crusher gets activated very often, and the king here is rather manna hungry, especially with full cooldown, so use gladiator shield to see your mana paid back mid fight, plus the health gained helps too.

I think his passive should be called Knights of the round table when athur is in the present of teammates he should receive physical protection (can stack) when he is alone he receives magical protection

taking some inspiration for that final smash, hmm I see, it's pretty cool

Look how smooth his animations are in this 😍

Awesome!!!!! Cant wait to play. Also very excited to play with Merlin but more with JORMUGANDR!!!!

Garen and Yasuo called. THEY WANT THEIR ABILITIES BACK.

For a second there, I heard Arthur saying "Sorye Ge Ton" when doing the Excalibur Fury.

This legend makes me wanna come back to smite!

I was surprised with how good that build synergizes with him. Usually in these videos I find myself using almost none of the items recommended. This build actually looks really good.

King Midas when?

I saw Mordred in that opening, does that mean the half fae traitor knight is on their radar?

I only have 2 questions...why are his abilities on instantcast and why can't I change it?

Full list of SMITE characters who were never considered gods or even god-like beings: Arachne Medusa Scylla Achilles The Zhong Schlong Da Ji Cerberus Ne Zha Jing Wei Cu Chulian (IDFK) Cabraken Kuzenbo Bakasura Fenrir, Ratatoskr, Ravana (arguable) Did I miss anyone? Regardless, a considerable number of the roster are not gods or god-like beings. Get over it. On an unrelated note, now that Merlin and Arthur are being added to the game, I’m kinda wanting to maybe someday see Beowulf and Grendel here... Edit: Most of the comments are telling me that Fenrir is most definitely a god. Nah, he doesn’t really qualify, but I put him in “arguable” for a reason. As for the replies saying something along the lines of “At least the ones you listed come from actual mythological pantheons”, Arthur, Merlin, and the stories of Camelot most definitely qualify as myths. They were believed by many to be truth, even if the figures in them were never widely worshipped. (To be honest, I feel as though they could have been slid into the Celtic pantheon, as the story of Arthur has its roots in Celticism (is that a word?)). Regardless, are you really going to complain about more diversity being added to the game? Complain about things that actually need to be complained about, like imbalance, bugs, and the fact that Loki and Neith have 5k skins. But do it on the forums and in tickets. I get pissed off when all I see on every Smite video is a wall of comments complaining about bugs that are most likely something wrong with your own set-up. It’s annoying and chases off any potential new players who read them because they (incorrectly) assume that the game is a bug-plagued unplayable mess. I also edited the list a bit based on some replies, thanks

>is warrior >has bladestorm :,)

This is where my time in Smite comes to an end. Long time coming but this truly was the final nail.

Wow just got the update and I was surprised about the new god

Now we must see how long it takes for everyone to comment that Arthur isn't a god.

Guess we can expect Mordred and maybe even Morgause down the line, if not soon.

The music is epic during the telling of the story

awesome cant wait till he come out

So Arthur is basically Yasuo from League of Legends.

Astolfo when?

Whoever did the lore script, that sounds focking epic!

Is it me, or did they get the voice of Olmek from Legends of the hidden temple?

In love.

Arthurs origin is believed to be from Celtic Mythology. Writer after writer doing their own interpretation has eventually christianized Arthur and added parts to his story. Technically the original Arthur would be a totally different person than the one we know. Though even the "modern" Arthur has elements that are not of Christian origin and would even be seen as sinful or heretical. For an example, The Morrigan or as it is known now, Morgan le Fay. The lady of the lake, you know the entity who keepsakes Excalibur. This means that Arthur could not be part of the Celtic pantheon as this Arthur is based on the one we've grown up with. It could not be of a Christian pantheon as it has elements that are not Christian. Therefore the Arthurian Pantheon. What this means is that we could be seeing some really cool additions to the game. I mean, imagine playing MERLIN! Gooood damn. That would be awesome.

Finally we are getting more athurian gods we’ve had Morgan for ages

I play this game on ps4 but I recently say that it’s releasing on the switch as soon as it releases this game is my addiction again

"Ekusu-karibaaaaaa!!"

HASHIRE SORI YO KAZE NO YOU NI TSUKIMIHARA WO PADORU PADORU

the Excalibur Fury is straight out from an anime

Excuse me, but in what version of the King Arthur legend was Excalibur a giant two hander?

3:05 ....... GETSUGA!!! TENSHO!!!!

Ok but can we get more asian gods like lakshmi and guanyin 💙

on a side note in case they don't mention it in the reveal all of king arthurs abilities are on quick cast at all times

I can’t wait until the real god reveal for this guy

more broke than my heart

And here I was hoping his ultimate would be firing a huge laser from his sword DISSAPOINTED!

Bladestorm? Isnt that the same ability of the blademaster from warcraft 3?

They left in the clip where his animation for his 1 doesn't show XD

so is Jesus next

People complaining about him not being a God. Who cares? Don't like him then don't play him. There's 98 other characters you can play.

am i the only one who saw that they said first point in his 3 ability and then in a clip in this video it was in his 1 ability

I think aurther works I mean the sword was supposedly created by the Christan good in some versions and he did go after the Holly grail so you could argue he is a holy warrior fighting on behalf of a good much like some of the other champions so I think it works.

I would just like a simple fun character man...

EXCALIBUR!!!!!

I like how king arthus ultimate is Cloud's Omnislash

I smell Cloud Strife skin closing in!

Please add more Japanese mythology

Omnislash ver 7 xD

So, is the Zhin ulti?

Sounds like the voice actor for Yugi from Yu Gi Oh Abridged from back in the day XD

Give us saber skin

GAREN!!!!

I actually thought of this for over a month

Please tell me there will be a Saber skin for this.

SABER

List on non Gods. Achilles (hero) Arachne (mortal) Bakasura (demon) Baron Samedi (spirit) Cerberus (gate keeper) Chiron (centaur) Chronos (Titan) Cu Chulainn (hero) Da Ji (mortal) Fafnir (dwarf) Fenrir (monster) Guan Yu (mortal) Hercules (hero) Kukulkan (serpent) Kumbhakarna (rakshasa) Kuzenbo (kappa) Medusa (gorgon) Ne Zha (mortal) Rama (avatar) Ratatoskr (animal) Ravana (king) Scylla (monster) Sun Wukong (king) Thanatos (death) Vamana (avatar) Xbalanque (hero) Ymir (giant) Zhong Kui (mortal) King Arthur (king)

His ult should be: Great, ARTHUR!!

Damn I might have to re download smite just to try this guy

I can't wait to see Little Red Riding Hood in the "Fairy Tale" Pantheon.

Anybody want to bet there's gonna be a taunt where he calls enemies "FOOLS!!!" Drop a like if you get the joke.

4:55 is that a Beserk reference?

Interesting enough for me to play Smite once again
