Ah okay, so they pull from Gods and legends. I don't know if I'd put Aladdin in either of those categories? He's not a legend in the Arthurian sense and definitely not a God like the Greek or the Egyptian ones. Maybe a myth? (I think he and Mulan are closer to 'folktales' but whatever).

Although, I'm assuming that opens up the entire Arabian Nights book to the game, which includes all kinds of cool middle eastern mythology to pull from. I think they just want to use the genies tbh Laughing



Yeah, seems more like a Mulan situation, but least for her we had the Chinese pantheon to fit in.

Yeah, this definitely opens up for more folklore stuff from around the world, which would be cool.

Yet in all those years they only did like 2 genie skins and there's only 1 Aladdin reference in the whole game. Think it was for a cosmic skin and it goes like "Infinite cosmic powers, itty-bitty texture space"

I just hope the genie(s) won't just be a Genie copy. Wouldn't feel right in my opinion.

Meanwhile the Dreamlight Valley community is also like "nah, it can't be Oswald or Figment, the lucky villager will definitely be either Genie or Aladdin" and while I heavily doubt this, it does make my fan side hope it would be this way. Laughing Still need to wait 1 more week for that update but man, it's killing me now XD

Here's a trailer for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1PHxmPq5o4&ab_channel=SMITEbyTitanForgeGames Just to see what's really is in short

Now the first game has 130 playable characters, with Nut (Egypitan god of the sky) being the last addition, with everything else being put in Smite 2 over the years (including all the old gods from the first game) and so far both from official and dataming it got confirmed that the upcoming 3 characters for Smite 2 will be Hecate, Mordred and now Aladdin.

Now the reason I was shocked about Aladdin is that... the closest we had such release was... probably Chtulhu and the Arthurian pantheon in a sense, that they aren't exactly mythologies (Lovecraftian being very new) but also quite old tales too. People also compared this to Mulan's release too, since she also has similar origin.

And well... I didn't really expect to play Smite 2 in alpha yet, given the only gods I reguarly play from the current roaster of Smite 2 is Anubis and Kukulkan (sue me, I'm a filthy mage main Laughing ) so when my friends pinged about this, my interest spiked to say the least.

Not much known atm as the alpha only starts in May, but will see where they lean with him into. Most thinks he will be closer to the Disney version because that1s what most people are similar with, but I hope they will add their own spin on it instead. I also don't know if he's going to be add an already existing pantheon, or they will create a new one, since he doesn't exactly belong to any of the current ones (my best bet was Babylonian actually, just because how in the Smite lore they are).

Anyway, here's the current list of gods just to see how they do these in terms of design. I think they do an overall good job with them so I do expect them to not disappoint with this one either. Rip my dream of Gilgamesh getting an Aladdin skin though haha.

So uhm... my friends just told me that we are getting Aladdin in Smite 2 (sequel to the original moba Smite) and I was like wtf.

Will be interesting where they will lean to him with him. I kinda hope both the genie of the ring and the genie of the lamp will be utilised for him.

I wish we could do a Q&A with the series writers to ask. I think we only have Tad Stones as far as series creators left since Alan Zaslove died in 2019.

They're so annoying I love them Laughing

*heart reaccs to all the above*

I love that one page sample haha. I looked it up on ebay and one line just says "Iago rants." Are they just writing into the script that Gibert has to improvise? Very Happy

Also saw "Aladdin immediately puts his arms around Jasmine and thought of your every-opportunity-to-touch Laughing

This page from "The Hunted" that someone is selling made me realize somewhere out there, scattered over 86 scripts, are a list of all of Genies transformations/references in the series that we'll never fully have Laughing

I also wish an official script for a Mechanicles episode would pop up so we can see what spelling Disney picked. I've seen "Mekanicles" on merchandise but who knows?
