SMITE continues its Season of Monsters today with the unveiling of a cinematic trailer for Martichoras, The Manticore King being added to the MOBA game. This new trailer follows the previous release of Surtr, The Fire Giant.

Martichoras will fill the role of a hunter, shooting venomous projectiles from his scorpion tail, and his ultimate will be a massive stinger that bursts with poison.

The longtime SMITE meme has finally come to life. The Manticore was teased all the way back in 2016 as an April Fools joke, and players had a hard time letting go of their want for the Manticore to make its way into SMITE.



The full details of Martichoras's kit, as well as the second half of the Magic: The Gathering crossover, will be revealed on February 15th over on the official SMITE Twitch channel. More Magic: The Gathering skins are coming along with The Manticore King on February 21st.

Check out the full cinematic trailer below, and we'll see you in the game.
