Following on fromSmite, players take the form of various deities from a number of mythologies, including Anubis, Odin, and Zeus. Gamers then take their Gods into a 5v5 arena where they can take on Titans looking to destroy all of the Pantheons.Smite 2is being built in Unreal Engine 5and since launching into its alpha test in Spring 2024, Hi-Rez Studios has been constantly improving and updating the game based on player feedback.
The latest update forSmite 2began rolling out on November 13 and includes several fixes across all platforms. Key fixes center around the various Gods including Izanami’s Shadow and Radiant stealth materials not showing up properly and Khepri Abduct only playing one voice line. The outer line FX for Gingersnap Baron Samedi Ult has also been fixed, with home screen music now added to the PS5 version.
These hotfixes come a few days after Hi-Rez Studios released a large patch forSmite 2on November 11. These changes include balances to each of the Gods, a new Auto Build for the UI, and changes to the God page. The page will now show whichdeities will be added toSmite 2and when they will be available.
Those waiting to experience the full experience will be disappointed to notethat progress fromSmitewill not move over toSmite 2due to the hours of manpower required to rebuild over 1600 skins, items, and gear in Unreal Engine 5. Even with the news that progress won’t carry over, players will undoubtedly be happy with the constant updates toSmite 2as Hi-Rez Studios continues developing the game during the Alpha phase.
It is not clear whenSmite 2will exit its Alpha phase, but it is expected that the MOBA will be a free-to-play title when it is fully released on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. It was confirmed thatSmite 2would be skipping the Nintendo Switchdue to concerns about the aging hardware affecting gamer’s experience. While that might be disappointing to some, Hi-Rez Studios isn’t ruling out bringing the MOBA to the Switch’s successor should it be suitable.
