I'm surprised they didn't get his old VA back, I assume they were just too busy or something?

There are tons of added elements that come into play when working on a cross-over of this size, especially when you're talking about a series that’s over a decade old. Unfortunately due to several extenuating circumstances, we were unable to work with the original voice actors for Aang and Zuko on this project (we were able to work with Janet Varney, to voice actor for Korra!). Both the Titan Forge crew and Nickelodeon understood this at the beginning of the project and were excited (but yeah, we were a little bummed, too) to move forward on the collaboration.

We have great partners at Nickelodeon that worked alongside us throughout the entire process. They reviewed auditions, helped us cast the actors featured in the Avatar Battle Pass, and were even involved with directing and overseeing the voice recording sessions. Both Titan Forge and our friends over at Nickelodeon are really happy with the results, and we can’t wait for you all to get your hands on this exciting battle pass! Of course we wish we could have brought the original actors to SMITE, as we are HUGE fans of their work!
