Twitch star Matthew "Mizkif" took the gaming community by surprise after announcing his skin for the widely popular MOBA game, Smite.
The One True King (OTK) co-founder will be featured as a special skin for the Greek god, Thanatos. The skin will feature his iconic egg-head with OTK branding on the torso of the in-game model.
Mizkif got on stage during the recent OTK Games Expo and commenced the special announcement by saying:
"I only play Thanatos and I am so honored to say that I will be Thanatos. I have my own skin."

Mizkif reveals his Thanatos skin for Smite
The One True King cast hosted their first-ever Games Expo earlier today, and it went on to become an instant hit. The special stream went on for five hours, and the co-founding members of the streamer organization announced several exciting new games and projects.
One unexpected announcement was Miz's inclusion in Smite as a skin for the Greek god of death, Thanatos. The streamer began talking about it as an in-game model of the Thanatos skin played on the big screen:
"Let's make some good memories. That's so bad! That was some good Smite! No way that's it, hey quit panning on my boxes!"

The short reveal video ended, leaving Asmongold puzzled. The World of Warcraft gamer wanted to know who and what Thanatos was. Mizkif, too, was taken aback after noticing how short the video was and exclaimed:
"Is it done? Wait, it's really done? I went and took a week off for that. I literally took a week off!"
Rich Campbell took to the stage and asked the OTK member to leave as Hi-Rez Studios told the former to continue with more announcements.
