Smite 2 revealed: gods clash in epic sequel

Excitement builds in the gaming community as the announcement of Smite 2 takes place during the Smite World Championships. The upcoming sequel to the popular MOBA, Smite, aims to bring an enriched gaming experience with 25 gods available at launch, with the promise of adding all gods from the original title eventually. Built on the advanced Unreal Engine 5, Smite 2 is anticipated to overhaul and enhance many aspects of the game to replace its predecessor, which is now considered outdated in several areas by the developer, Titan Forge Games.

Another significant feature includes cross-play and cross-progression across all platform versions, ensuring a more cohesive experience for players on Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S. While a release date has yet to be announced, fans can look forward to participating in an alpha test, with registration expected to open in the coming spring season.

Smite 2 will be available on Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S. There are plans for cross-play and cross-progression amongst all these platforms.

Smite, the original game, has made a significant impact on the MOBA genre with its unique third-person perspective and mythology-themed characters, which sets it apart from competitors like League of Legends and Dota 2. Its ongoing success through regular updates, new god releases, and a strong competitive scene has fostered a loyal player base. With Smite 2, the developers are poised to keep modern gaming technology at the forefront while simultaneously respecting the fan-favorite elements that have defined the series thus far.
