Titan Forge Games has confirmed the dates for SMITE 2’s third Alpha weekend event.
The ICO team is back with news about the third SMITE 2 Alpha Weekend event, starting June 27th!
The third Alpha Weekend event will add Morrigan, Thanatos, and Hecate to the playable gods. Additionally, the team at Titan Forge Games continues to work on the Alpha experience, so there are plenty of game updates available as well.
Hecate was announced during the SMITE 2 reveal at the SMITE World Championship earlier this year and has undergone some changes based on playtester feedback.
Titan Forge Games then focused more on the themes of transitions and gates to other dimensions and completely reworked Hekate’s ultimate ability to teleport enemies and allies at key moments in the game.
A detailed overview of Hecate’s new abilities and the design decisions the team made based on community feedback was released last week.
Thanatos and Morrigan are now among the SMITE gods in the sequel who can be brought back to life. Thanatos is the hand of death from Greek mythology and can use his ultimate ability to fly above the battlefield and instantly eliminate wounded enemies.
However, Thanatos’ power comes at a price: his abilities cost him a percentage of his health instead of mana. Morrigan, on the other hand, must rely on deception to determine the fate of her opponents.
The Phantom Queen of the Celts can create copies of herself and take on the identity and therefore the abilities of other gods in order to deceive her opponents.
The sequel will also be expanded with three cross-gen skins. The skins Fenrir the Strong Mutt, Hades the Cosmic Grand Admiral, and Sol the Firefly will soon be available in SMITE 2 for anyone who already owns these skins in SMITE and has linked their SMITE 2 account.
For guaranteed access to the closed test phase, the Founder’s Edition packages can be purchased on Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox and can be purchased from the Epic Games Store.
