I clocked it immediately, mainly cause I rembered the order of realeases very well around that time cause I stopped playing seriously and only hopped on on realeases.
Mannnn I love how they actually put some of if not all the stuff that got censored (Kali's old skin and Nox's taunt for eaxmples) instead of just sweeping them under the rug like they didn't exist.
@@dyslexicwolf1448 Cause this was during their first year or so and the outfit was considered to revealing since they still thought of themselves as a game for a younger audience
@@reidmoore8754 thanks for taking your time and answering, but giving the female gods big breasts with good jigle or thic cheeks doesn't make it better :D
these are the look of allot of gods with old grapich allot of gods gotten grapich updates on their textures but yes there few that need a complete remodel
If I remember correctly, in the book The Once and Future King, Merlin explains that he moves through time backwards, being born old and progressively becoming younger. I think the joke here is that the older he looks, the younger he actually is.
@@GeomancerFelix I dont believe it was that he aged backwards, but rather he himself went through time backwards, which is why he could see the future. Whenever arthur grew a year older, merlin did too, but arthurs future was the past for merlin
My favorite part was seeing The Jade Rabbit scurry along towards the beginning before returning with a gift for Chang'e... Long sigh* I love all of you, our Titans. Have a very happy birthday this year, and many more to come!
ive only heard of legends of release guan glad ive never seen it lol, worst thing ive ever experienced was release bellona and remember specific game she buff invaded 1v4 my team on siege with only a frostbound hammer right at the start of the game and killed all of us.
I started in 2016 and it feels like no time at all has passed. So many memories of the gods released all the way up to now. Reminds of what was in the game and what's been going on in my life. Thank you Hi-Rez for making us a game we can all play throughout our lives, even when we have other games, we always come back
I'm crying happily knowing and remembering all the fun I had with this game for years and seeing the progression and there's still more to come. Keep her going SMITE team because I'm still having loads of enjoyment with the game.
I "stopped playing" after Achilles since I was a solo laner and he was absolutely busted. Then I recognised every release after Hera and realised I "stopped playing" for practically no time at all.
I discovered this game when Sylvanus was the "new god" and started since them. I might not been playing constantly all these years but I do everytime I can and this game has become one of my favorite online games ever. Thanks Hirez and Happy Birthday to SMITE!
congratulations Hi-rez, and thank you so much for SMITE the only game i can play no matter how much time and even tho I am such a noob i still like to play it 24/7
I've been playing this game since beta with huge breaks here and there. To this day I'm still playing, especially during the events 2x-3x everything. Smite will always have special place in my heart. Thank you for this beautiful game, may it last another 9 years.

What a spectacular video...I started playing with my brother in 2015 when Khepri came out and seeing the evolution of the game and its characters is a completely beautiful stroke of nostalgia Thanks for everything Smite!!!
Once the video got to the release of izunami everthing became nostalgic. Honestly thank you to the smite team. You gave me my family and my friends a great time and a great team work experience since I was in highschool and till this day.
Wow, I hadn't realized how much time flew. It seemed like only yesterday in beta, I'm glad to see how much this game has grown. I still enjoy playing to this day 😌
Played smite nearly every day for the past 5 years now.. ofc there are issues like a couple of unbalanced gods and bugs but overall no game managed to keep me for so long
AWWW I love the scene with Danzaburou, the little thumbs up hand is so cute!! "Woah, BAKEMONO!!" Lol thank you it's always great to hear some Japanese- happy birthday Smite!
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO SUPPORTED ME AND GOT ME THIS FAR.
So proud to be on the Smite channel!
Hope you enjoy the video
Hi you are here to celebrate 9 years of smite ?
Yay!!
i am fan
Such a great job!!
YEAHHHHHH ILOVEYOUUUU
That morrigan entrance was pure genius
Right when I started playing
It got me; I thought they had made a mistake by showing Nike twice.
@@kitgautier1658 me too, I literally Backed the video to double Check😂
thelivingend127 Same. Started right when she was released.
I clocked it immediately, mainly cause I rembered the order of realeases very well around that time cause I stopped playing seriously and only hopped on on realeases.
The nox emote followed by "you're welcome" 😂😂😂
I hate that
I mean 🤫😌😏

Smite - Battleground of the Gods
Tiamat: "A beautiful creation indeed"
Tiamat speaking facts out here
Found you again
even here? wow
You and your brother are everywhere
o wow you play smite?
This guy is on every successful moba
Congrats hi-Rez for making such a good game and releasing 113 gods and goddesses I hope the game keeps getting better and better
@Mohammed Yusuf I feel you, I got 120 ping and smite is the only game where it is that high
They could start with huge nemesis nerfs or perse
Yoo that Nox taunt animation is a throw back
113 gods аnd 0 jesuses
@@olegfavorskii1403 depending on who you ask he ain't real
Smite has been the longest game I’ve played and STILL play till this day, thank you hi rez for making it.
same. i feel so old. 8 years playing,lol.
Add me; Whorpe
If it wasn't for the horrid matchmaking and quality of games, it'd be the best game I've ever played.
nine years of smite and never remodeled Artemis ...
Sobek only just got his remodel
Her model was slithgly updated
She keeps the old waaays...
we get there when we get there
@@cream-gravy its better this way
tsukuyomi: casually cuts the moon in half
everyone else: hey wtf
Awilix and Artemis: Wait-
And everyone drowned because of the tides
Mannnn I love how they actually put some of if not all the stuff that got censored (Kali's old skin and Nox's taunt for eaxmples) instead of just sweeping them under the rug like they didn't exist.
Why did they censored kali?
@@dyslexicwolf1448 Cause this was during their first year or so and the outfit was considered to revealing since they still thought of themselves as a game for a younger audience
@@reidmoore8754 thanks for taking your time and answering, but giving the female gods big breasts with good jigle or thic cheeks doesn't make it better :D
@@dyslexicwolf1448 no it was because the Hindu community got offended by how revealing kali was.
@@kathir6022 snowflakes everywhere
It's hard to beleive how good artemis looks after all these years.
Also Thanatos and janus
I thought you guys were serious 😂
What are you talking about, her default looks like vomitty diarrhea
This kinda made me realize how many gods need remodels
these are the look of allot of gods with old grapich allot of gods gotten grapich updates on their textures but yes there few that need a complete remodel
they have updated many of old ones pre 2015/2014 or made texture updates for many of them to keep them up do date visually.
Cupid lol
Classic Ares and Hercules look soo much better.
Expected Thoth to say; "I wrote the book of victory", "NOW THROW THE BOOK AT THEM" *and throws his book at Nike*
It's amazing how the art improved noticeably in 2016 and 2019. I hope Smite lives for years and keeps getting better and better!
I just hope they remake it with a new engine. Something with more realistic graphics rather than the cartoonish model
Poor Manticore! 🥲
Merlin: "I feel younger now", then transform into an old man. 😭😭😂
If I remember correctly, in the book The Once and Future King, Merlin explains that he moves through time backwards, being born old and progressively becoming younger.
I think the joke here is that the older he looks, the younger he actually is.

5:15 rip that emote, will be missed.
Yes old Kali too shall be missed.
You're welcome
why was it removed?
@@essschesss6471 basically it was just fan service and didn't do Nox character no favor.
Still funny tho
@@GoticoArrombado But isn't everything fan service technically?
9 years later and still playing the game, damn i need to go outside.
nah man there is a plague out there
@@Talbacca Oh yeah... im going back on smite.
The constant Loki-bashing was on point lmao
My favorite part was seeing The Jade Rabbit scurry along towards the beginning before returning with a gift for Chang'e... Long sigh* I love all of you, our Titans. Have a very happy birthday this year, and many more to come!
Congratulations Hi Rez and thank you for smite only game that’s lasted me since I got an xbox
Facts
Same
Same
I love how it's implied that some of the gods DO hang out with each other when they're not battling! Makes my day and makes me smile.
Whiskywyrm told me this is where the cool people are.
So that must be true, since you are here too. ^_^
The man the myth the legend himself
Cool people dont waste time playing games...only a sad "no life" nerds
because of you
Wasnt wrong
1:19 probably the scariest thing in SMITE-- release guan
Biggest nerf he's ever gotten was the removal of the bongos, hoping we get the bongos back with a retro skin in the future.
ive only heard of legends of release guan glad ive never seen it lol, worst thing ive ever experienced was release bellona and remember specific game she buff invaded 1v4 my team on siege with only a frostbound hammer right at the start of the game and killed all of us.
See now you gotta team up with the homies as Baron, Danzo and Bacc.
Best thing is that they don´t clash with each other as classes.
Maybe add Ratatoskr and Sun Wukong for the team for maximum party vibe and mischief
They just need a warrior and an assassin to have a full… *party* …
I will see myself out, but I am not sorry.
If only the community was this beautiful
It is. Smite's community is a haven in comparison to the cesspool that is LoL or other mobas
I started in 2016 and it feels like no time at all has passed. So many memories of the gods released all the way up to now. Reminds of what was in the game and what's been going on in my life. Thank you Hi-Rez for making us a game we can all play throughout our lives, even when we have other games, we always come back
I'm all emotional right now. Love how they show nox's original taunt
This genuinely made me smile. Despite how toxic all yall can be at times, i'm happy to be a part of the ride. Love this game.
Baron, Bacchus and Danza confirmed ultimate trio party team
I'm crying happily knowing and remembering all the fun I had with this game for years and seeing the progression and there's still more to come. Keep her going SMITE team because I'm still having loads of enjoyment with the game.
I CAN'T BELIEVE I'VE BEEN PLAYING THIS GAME FOR THAT LONG, IT FEELS LIKE NEMESIS WAS THE NEWEST GOD LIKE A YEAR AGO OR SOMETHING
and hades with vulcan were guardians
When you say discordia came out like 2 years ago and it's actually way longer
I "stopped playing" after Achilles since I was a solo laner and he was absolutely busted. Then I recognised every release after Hera and realised I "stopped playing" for practically no time at all.
To me, it's always will be Arthur and Merlins. So cool that they made it
Jormungandr will forever be my favorite release of all time.
As your pic so subtly indicates lol
@@d4peters86 👀
Jorm is second favorite but im still proud of those 4 stars on my snek boi
@@Terminate1783 I wish I had the time to get stars on him ;-;
@@Jormyyy
Stars just come by themselfs just play that one character and eventually you have them
Is Tiamat says "A beautiful creation indeed" about her world she just protected or smite?
Both
She just appreciate the video!
This hits hard for us beta players
It was so wild being able to remember every release so clearly
@@Sevarate. for sure I’m remembering old Zeus
Best comment...
yup, good old times.
Omg so true !!
I discovered this game when Sylvanus was the "new god" and started since them. I might not been playing constantly all these years but I do everytime I can and this game has become one of my favorite online games ever. Thanks Hirez and Happy Birthday to SMITE!

Dude that tsukuyomi part. He's ended up being one of my favorites. It was not done wrong either. The cthulhu as well. All amazing.
11:10 The PvE mode I've been waiting for ...
I've been playing this game since beta with huge breaks here and there. To this day I'm still playing, especially during the events 2x-3x everything. Smite will always have special place in my heart. Thank you for this beautiful game, may it last another 9 years.
That Morrigan entrance is perfect, the joke is, who ever transform into Nike? Even she knew it was a good one
12:11
An entire MOTD of alcohol and revelry themed gods sounds like a _wonderfull_ idea.
Seems like my bi-monthly "i want old Nu Wa back" depression has hit early...
Her Old Wa skin came out as one of the daily deal bundles a little while ago.
I want old arachne
@@hakatapawa7115 arachne was so much fun man
Been playing since Ao Kuang's rework came out, and don't plan on stopping now. Happy Birthday Smite!
5:38 is when I started. Haven't played too much the last couple years but getting back in now has been fun
5:20 OLD NOX TAUNT OLD NOX TAUNT
Please Hi-Rez, bring back retro/old Bacchus, Hel and Sun Wukong as purchasable skins 🙏 .
Please og bacchus
Retro Ra and He Bo too
Old sun wu kong for hun batz?

Thanks for everything Smite!!!
thank you smite for making me actually using my brain
Congratulations Smite, and congratulations Whisky! 9 years and going strong, I have nothing but high hopes for the rest of Season 8!
1:20 *everyone who played the Beta*
PTSD Vietnam Flashbacks
The bongos, I still hear them...
This helped me remember how long I’ve been playing this now. I started when Medusa was released
Haha, I finally know that I started back in 2013. So many years, so here's to so many more.
This video brings back so many memories over all these years. Glad to be sharing the same birthday with my favorite game :) Happy Birthday Smite!
Damn. I'm still playing this game. Congratulations hi rez on 9 years.
Once the video got to the release of izunami everthing became nostalgic. Honestly thank you to the smite team. You gave me my family and my friends a great time and a great team work experience since I was in highschool and till this day.
After Paragon went down. I started looking for other MOBAs to play. Achilles was the new god when I started playing Smite.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SMITE only played 6 out of the 9 years but it's been a fun time throughout!!
I can’t believe I just watched the whole video. Nicely done
Wow, I hadn't realized how much time flew. It seemed like only yesterday in beta, I'm glad to see how much this game has grown. I still enjoy playing to this day 😌
Damn, love those retro chicks from 2012/13
Edit: That Nox taunt XD
9:52 thanks for the good time man !!!
7:20 where it all began for me 😭
feels so great to be a part of this community for years and years!
A quote from The Great Illustrious Sage, "Good will always be triumphant over evil"
Happy Birthday Smite,
Sincerely an Erlang Main
Sun Wukong better
@@yusufgazi7 And you Wonder why your bronze...
Smite has come so far and i hope they'll grow even more in the future.
Wait, these "new" gods that I remember are already 6 years old ?! It's going too fast..
0:47 I’m gonna miss that Retro Sun Wukong
I dreamed that he would return soon
2:49, 3:42
Thank you Smite, for everything
been playing this game for 9 years on and off with my friends , holds a special place in my heart
3:20 respect for the mains out there
Smite making me happy since 2014... I just love this game
Wow, can’t believe I started back when Poseidon was released. So long ago to see how far the game has came.
I started with pos too. Then janus came out and now I have 17 stars on him lol. Got rank 10 in exactly a week from him coming out 🤣🤣
It is incredible to see the game evolving over the years. Your dedication is simply divine, Titan Forge guys!
most underrated game of the decade, the only one I play now
Beautiful edit, love this video! Started playing Smite when Discordia released on the PS, haven't stopped playing since.
2:26 Aaaaah yes Apollo the god with the best back side lol.
I started in 2017 so seeing it all unfold is very heartwarming
I fear no man, but that thing...(OG Guan)1:20
*It scares me*
OG Guan could eat EFG for breakfast
"Woahh Bakemono" line of Danza made this so much better
10:52 - that moment
The guan yu noise still strikes fear into all who remember.
You did such a good job Whisky :)
5:55
This was about the time I started playing smite, maybe a little earlier.
Tbh, wish they'd finally release fenrir...
Honestly they have been holding it back for too long
Fenrir is out ho?
@@75rounds It is a joke bc fenrir is one of the first gods in the game
Thank you for all the content and the support for this great game I been playing for the past 4 years strong
Played smite nearly every day for the past 5 years now.. ofc there are issues like a couple of unbalanced gods and bugs but overall no game managed to keep me for so long
Great work, keep up the progress. Always a pleasure to watch something like this.
I joined the Battleground when Hera was released. Still, I've missed a lot...
the amount of time and effort in this. LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!
Me when I saw Aphro: YASSSS PERIOD QUEEN SLAYYY
Me when I saw Apollo: oh you hey I guess
Literally exactly what I did too! Aphrodite is a true queen!
Disgusting
Can't believe I've been playing this game for 6 years now, from the day it released on Xbox and still plan on playing it for longer
im legit waiting until yellowshell comments.
Now I feel old.
Smite is so underated
I love all the new gods and goddesses intro.
Can't wait for the 10th years.
Great job on SMITE yall! Many gods, beings and deities (such as Hunahpu, Kagutsuchi, Anansi and more) await!
Can we get some of these old models as classic skins? I really like the original Aphrodite model.
AWWW I love the scene with Danzaburou, the little thumbs up hand is so cute!! "Woah, BAKEMONO!!" Lol thank you it's always great to hear some Japanese- happy birthday Smite!
