SMITE Gameplay
Currently Smite have -
7 Hindu Gods
8 Mayan Gods
11 Egyptian Gods
9 Roman Gods

Why did HiRez decide to release Japanese gods? because Japanese theme very popular. I think developers been wait until game become less popular and with Japanese Pantheon coming in Q1 they get tons new players that ready to buy heroes, skins and other things for them.
