I have mentioned this before on twitter and Reddit but i’ll reinforce it again. Here is what HiRezChris said about the Hindu pantheon in his Season 4 interviews:

“We’ve been holding off doing Hindu gods for a while, so we’re also going to revisit them in a big way this year.”

This was referring to Ganesha, nothing else.

I’m sorry if this is an overhype situation for some players, we honestly did not mean to create that situation. We were extremely excited and even nervous about releasing Ganesha, as he is a widely recognized and still worshipped god in the pantheon.

Regardless of what we meant, many players immediately took this quote and ran with it, assuming it meant many Hindu gods would be arriving or that we would implement some other sort of unknown feature. This was echoed so many times on reddit and twitter that people started to think it was true. It is not. We started responding to these comments as soon as Ganesha shipped that we did not intend this statement to mean “lots of Hindu gods.”

We will continue to design new gods by prioritizing the best possible gods from any pantheon, and only making special exceptions to fill out the newest pantheons. More Hindu gods are certainly possible and will arrive eventually.
