History Trivia / Smite

** When Sol was first datamined, fans were confused over if this referred to either the Roman god or the Norse goddess. Oddly enough, the latter (who the datamining was referring to) has a more unique name: Sunna.[[note]]Granted, Wiki/TheOtherWiki states that this is Germanic in origin, but it's still said to have been a synonym in Norse.[[/note]]

** Owing to Creator/{{Hasbro}}'s shift to non-union ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' voice casts for non-''Film/TransformersFilmSeries'' productions starting with the ''WebAnimation/TransformersPrimeWarsTrilogy'' in 2016, Jake Foushee (AKA Jake Tillman) reprises Optimus Prime from ''WesternAnimation/TransformersCyberverse'', and Creator/JasonMarnocha and Creator/FrankTodaro return as Megatron and Starscream from the ''Prime Wars Trilogy''.

** The four voice actresses for [[WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} Team RWBY]] (Lindsay Jones as Ruby, Kara Eberle as Weiss, Arryn Zech as Blake, and Barbara Dunkelman as Yang) all returned to lend their voices to the girls.

** Creator/ChristinaValenzuela voices Amaterasu and Discordia.

** Creator/Bruce [=DuBose=] voices Thor and Cerberus.

** Creator/ColleenClickenbeard voices Arachne and Ne Zha.
** Creator/BruceDuBose voices Thor and Cerberus.

*** Aang and Zuko aren't voiced by their original voice actors from ''Franchise/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', Creator/ZachTylerEisen and Creator/DanteBasco, the former having long since abandoned voice acting (and hit puberty). They were replaced by Jaxson [=McBride=] and Stephen Fu, respectively. In a broader sense, [=McBride=] also replaces Benjamin Helms, who voiced the character in ''VideoGame/NicktoonsMLB'' (and would himself be succeeded by Dustin Sardella later in ''VideoGame/NickelodeonAllStarBrawl''[='=]s voice acting patch). Azula was similarly recast, going from Creator/GreyDeLisle to Creator/MeganShipman. Iroh is voiced by Corey Yee instead of Greg Baldwin, who played him in Book Three of the original series and in ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' following the passing of his original actor, Creator/{{Mako}}.

*** The five Nickelodeon characters that joined ''Smite'' in 2022 are all voiced by different actors instead of their original/current ones--also making this the first time that Rocko, Zim, and Jenny aren't voiced by their original actors. Matt Cowlrick takes over the role of Rocko from Creator/CarlosAlazraqui, Powdered Toast Man is played by Michael Berger rather than Creator/DavidKaye (who voiced the character earlier in ''VideoGame/NickelodeonAllStarBrawl''), and Creator/SeanChiplock plays Danny Phantom rather than either his original voice actor Creator/DavidKaufman (who also returned for ''All-Star Brawl'') or Creator/KeithFerguson (who played him in ''Nicktoons MLB''). Andrew Russell takes over Creator/RichardStevenHorvitz's role as Zim, and Creator/JennyYokobori succeeds Creator/JaniceKawaye in the role of Jenny.

*** Franchise/{{Rambo}} is voiced by Jim Foronda instead of Creator/SylvesterStallone.

** Since ''Smite'' is a non-[[UsefulNotes/UnionsInHollywood union]] production, most of the crossover chaacters are not voiced by their regular actors; a fact that hit the unionized Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} the hardest:

** Since ''Smite'' is non-union, most of the crossover chaacters are not voiced by their regular actors.

Andrew Russell takes over Creator/RichardStevenHorvitz's role as Zim, and Creator/JennyYokobori succeeds Creator/JaniceKawaye in the role of Jenny.
** Hopper and Eleven from ''Series/StrangerThings'' are voiced by Brent Mukai and Charlie Ann Duncan instead of their original screen actors, Creator/DavidHarbour and Creator/MillieBobbyBrown respectively.
** In a case similar to their crossover appearance in ''VideoGame/Injustice2'', one of the ways that the ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'' cast in this game is established as incarnations unique to ''Smite''[='=]s world within TheMultiverse of Turtles is by all being voiced by actors who have never performed in any prior ''TMNT'' media. That said, the Turtles also have alternate skins explicitly based on their [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 1987 cartoon]] selves, and Matthew Curtis (Leo), Nick Landis (Mikey), Creator/MarkWhitten (Raph) and Creator/LandonMcDonald (Don) obviously aren't Creator/CamClarke, Creator/TownsendColeman, Creator/RobPaulsen and Creator/BarryGordon respectively. Raph also has a third skin of [[ComicBook/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesMirage his Mirage incarnation]], still voiced by Whitten rather than his ''WesternAnimation/TurtlesForever'' voice actor Creator/SeanSchemmel.

* MilestoneCelebration: To celebrate reaching the 10 million player mark, Hi-Rez ushered the return of Hercules' pre-remodel skin with a new voice by none other than [[Series/HerculesTheLegendaryJourneys Kevin Sorbo]], and made him unlockable by only winning ten matches during the month of August 2015.

** Aang and Zuko aren't voiced by their original voice actors from ''Franchise/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', Creator/ZachTylerEisen and Creator/DanteBasco, the former having long since abandoned voice acting (and hit puberty). They were replaced by Jaxson [=McBride=] and an unknown voice actor, respectively. Azula was similarly recast, going from Creator/GreyDeLisle to Creator/MeganShipman.
** [[Series/StrangerThings Hopper and Eleven]] are not voiced by their original actors, Creator/DavidHarbour and Creator/MillieBobbyBrown, respectively.
** The ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' characters aren't voiced by their regular actors, either (Creator/PeterCullen for Optimus Prime, Creator/FrankWelker for Megatron, and Creator/CharlieAdler for Starscream).

** A majority of [[Anime/LoveLive µ's]] made it to Smite, being [[Creator/CristinaVee Kotori Minami]][[note]]Amaterasu and Discordia[[/note]], [[Creator/XantheHuynh Hanayo Koizumi]][[note]]Mystic Enchantress Nu Wa[[/note]], [[Creator/KiraBuckland Umi Sonoda]] (mentioned above), [[Creator/LauraPost Nozomi Tojo]][[note]]Bellona and Nox[[/note]], [[Creator/EricaLindbeck Eli Ayase]][[note]]Terra[[/note]], [[Creator/CaitlinGlass Maki Nishikino]][[note]]Isis and Oktoberfest Nu Wa[[/note]] and [[Creator/EricaMendez Nico Yazawa]][[note]]Primal Huntress Artemis[[/note]].

* ScrewedByTheLawyers: Bastet's Night Prowler skin was taken down after Warner Bros. threatened legal action due to its similarity to ComicBook/{{Catwoman}}. Similarly, Creator/NetherRealmStudios filed a C&D over Ravana's Eliminator skin due to its resemblance to [[Franchise/MortalKombat Scorpion]], causing it to be removed from the game with the patch that introduced Artio.

* CastingGag: The Brazilian dub had a few, such as Athena and Hades being the same from ''Anime/SaintSeiya'', and Sun Wukong getting [[Creator/WendelBezerra the voice]] of his famous {{Expy}} [[Series/DragonBallZ Son Goku]].

** Averted in Brazil... and then played straight, as the dubbing was removed at a certain point. For two more years, those who already had downloaded the local VA kept it, new players at most need to install patches to get what was available up to the cancellation. Now it's downright impossible to play the game with the old files.
