Mesopotamian: I don't see it. Possible, but it's so unheard of, I doubt it. Aztec: Way too similar to Mayan, you could make the argument that we have Greek and Roman already, so why not? But I still don't think so. Slavic: Definitely more possible than the other ones you presented, but I don't think that Slavic mythology fits the atmosphere of Smite. Polynesian: Is relatively popular, not very, but much more than Mesopotamian (Especially with the recent releases of Moana and Pokémon S&M). It's unique and eccentric. And, in my opinion, fits the atmosphere of Smite. Looking at it, it seems like Polynesian mythology checks all the boxes.



1.) I do agree that there are a ton of pantheons out there that are more deserving to be in place than Polynesian Pantheon (especially from a business perspective). However, this is merely my interests in it and a compilation of Polynesian God Concepts. I am not proclaiming that the Polynesian Pantheon SHOULD be the next pantheon. Rather, I am merely saying that the Polynesian Pantheon COULD be an awesome pantheon to implement. In no way am I belittling the other pantheons, such as Slavic, Aztec, etc.



2.) For the Mesopotamian Pantheon, I actually see it happening, especially considering it is one of the first, if not, the oldest pantheon in the world. It is entirely in the realm of possibility and it is also not unheard of.



3.) Aztec pantheon is not "TOO" similar to the Mayans. The god's names may change but ultimately they have different beliefs and different stories. Some gods are uniquely Aztec, while others uniquely Mayan. In SMITE, the Greek and Roman Pantheons even acknowledge the other as being part of the same family, despite coming from two different pantheons. Whose to say Mayans and Aztecs won't do the same thing.



4.) Slavic pantheon is in the realm of entirely possible. As to the argument that it doesn't fit the realm of SMITE, I disagree with that. The Slavic Pantheon is full of colorful characters that possess a certain charm to them. The gods reflect the cultures they come from. Roman gods are either warlike or festive like. Egyptian gods revolve around the cycle of life and death. Mayans are clothed with jungle outfits, fitting the location of where they came from. Likewise, the Slavic pantheon, coming from the woodlands and the steppes of Eastern Europe, would certainly add its own appeal in game. As to how likely they'll be picked, i'd put them in the low end since they just released a pantheon from the European continent. Releasing another would be overrepresenting the people of Europe.



5.) Another popular request apparently is the Native American Pantheons, though I find that unlikely because imagine all the issues SMITE will have with "cultural appropriation".
