Certainly the gods of my childhood
It’s been a while since we’ve written aboutSmite, so if you’ve forgotten: it’s a third-person MOBA about duelling gods in which players control the likes of Anubis and Zeus. That makes it a slightly odd fit for new characters like Invader Zim or Rocko from Rocko’s Modern Life, but well, that’s what is coming later this month, alongside a handful of other Nickelodeon characters.
Here’s the trailer:

Look, I think all this cross-brand promotional metaverse stuff is nonsense, but… This one works for me. I do have nostalgia for some of these characters - or for being a young boy in the ’90s and watching these characters, at any rate - and their presence here is odd enough that I think it works given how odd the original source material of these shows was.
The crossover will begin next week on July 12th.
It’s been a long time since we tooka proper look at Smite, though it was always one of the better and more interesting MOBAs in those gold rush days. I’ve probably thought of Nickelodeon more recently, given they launched Smash-style platform fighterNickelodeon All-Star Brawllate last year.
