A typical match can see characters like Athena, Cthulhu, Jormungandr, and Morgan le Fay get into a scrap. Now, three of those Gods (Poseidon, Chaac, and Raijin) will be able to roll up to the match in lovingly detailed skins of Slipknot\u2019s band members. Poseidon gets some sweet cosplay of Sid Wilson, Corey Taylor, and Craig Jones; Chaac has skins of Mick Thomson, Jim Root, and Alessandro Venturella, and Raijin gets to dress up as Michael Pfaff, Shawn \u201cClown\u201d Crahan, and Jay Weinberg.<\/p>\n<div >\n<blockquote >\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Let me hear you scream! <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/slipknot?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@slipknot<\/a> is here to put on a show in SMITE!  <\/p>\n<p>Slipknot legends Corey Taylor, Sid Wilson, Craig Jones, Michael Pfaff, clown, Jay Weinberg, Mick Thomson, Jim Root, &amp; Alessandro Venturella are joining the Battleground of the Gods! <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/IIzN1ns1dh\">pic.twitter.com\/IIzN1ns1dh<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 SMITE (@SMITEGame) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SMITEGame\/status\/1524056676445265921?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 10, 2022<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p >While pop culture crossovers are pretty popular in everything from <em>Fall Guys<\/em> to Call of Duty, this specific blend feels particularly intriguing and unexpected.
