The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Are Joining Smite As Skins

Smite is getting new skins, and they're based on four of our favorite turtles. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are coming to the game in November as part of a new battle pass.

Each turtle is a skin of an existing god, so the turtles themselves aren't being inducted into the godly pantheon, per se. Here's which god each character is being skinned onto.

• Leonardo (Osiris)
• Donatello (Sun Wukong)
• Raphael (Loki)
• Michelangelo (Mercury)

The trailer, below, shows off both skins for each turtle, and is a real hit of nostalgia with its upbeat rendition of the old cartoon theme.

The Osiris/Leonardo skin will be unlocked immediately, while the others can be unlocked by playing the game after purchasing the Battle Pass. These characters have new models, rigging, and animation, so they're more than simple reskins.

A Mouser ward skin and a global "Cowabunga" emote will also be added. Better yet, Hi-Rez Studios promises that Splunter and Shredder will also be unlockable during an event after the release of the Battle Pass, so you'll be able to expand out the game's TMNT roster further.

More details will be revealed on October 14 on the Smite Twitch channel.

This is not the first Nickelodeon collaboration with Smite. Earlier this year, the game got an Avatar: The Last Airbender battle pass, which added Aang, Zuko, and Korra skins.
