SMITE lead designer reveals some other Arthurian characters that didn't make the cut

King Arthur and Merlin are going to be a part of SMITE in the near future. In an interview with DualShockers, SMITE lead designer Lead Designer discussed some other Arthurian characters that didn't make the cute.

“We definitely discussed those options when we were talking about Arthurian. I had god pitches for all of those characters. I had a Lancelot pitch, I had a Lady of The Lake pitch, I had a Gwynevere pitch, I had a Morgan le Faye/ Morgana. She’s either a dark sorceress or Merlin’s understudy depending on the lore you read. I had pitched for all of that and they were all contenders but we didn’t want to overdo it on this new thing.”

We didn’t want too many of those gods at first–or those ‘heroes.’ It’s on the table but I think you can see in the god video for this year that nothing else in the rest of the video looks very Arthurian. We’ll probably be taking a break from it for a little bit, but that doesn’t mean we couldn’t come back to it in the future. “
