New details about SMITE 2 were revealed at the SMITE World Championships.
Titan Forge Games, the makers of SMITE, have announced SMITE 2, the next generation of their third-person action MOBA.
The sequel was built from the ground up in Unreal Engine 5 and is intended to deliver a next-generation experience. Available to wishlist now on Steam and Steam Deck, the Epic Games Store, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, SMITE 2 combines 10 years of experience in a new experience.
SMITE 2 takes everything players love about SMITE and wraps it in cutting-edge graphics, animations and gameplay. Everything in the game has been improved with a refined interface, updated audio, clearer spell effects, and new physics-based skills for gods like Ymir.
The move to new backend technology also brings cutting-edge cross-play, a leaderboard overhaul that includes new ranks and structures, and improved matchmaking.
Newcomers and veterans alike will discover new pantheons of gods, equipment upgrades, gameplay changes, and overhauled relic and item systems for deeper strategy and more impactful combat.
In addition to a vision control station and new dynamic map objectives, SMITE 2 introduces two power sources – Strength and Intelligence – to diversify each god’s skills and provide more nuanced and varied play styles.
The redesigned item store simplifies item creation and improves the learning curve for new players.
To honor 40 million SMITE players, a divine legacy program was introduced. It rewards players for their time and achievements over the 10 years of SMITE 1 and honors player spending. Any Gems that players have previously spent will be converted into Legacy Gems in SMITE 2, which can be spent on new purchases.
The Divine Legacy program will feature 11 unique skins, badges, Gold Mastery tiers, and cross-generation skins that work in both games. Starting in 2024, all new gem-purchasable skins in SMITE will be cross-generational.
Titan Forge Games is committed to supporting SMITE 1 and SMITE 2 concurrently, with SMITE 1 servers remaining active after the sequel’s launch.
Players can continue their journey in the original game while exploring the new horizons of SMITE 2.
