Smite 2's F2P Launch and New Hero Unveiled

Smite 2's Open Beta Launch: January 14th, 2025

Get ready! Smite 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the popular MOBA, launches its free-to-play open beta on January 14th, 2025. This marks a significant milestone for the Unreal Engine 5-powered game, which entered Alpha in 2024.

This open beta brings a wealth of new content, including:

• Aladdin: The first God from the Tales of Arabia pantheon, debuting alongside the beta launch. Expect a Magical Assassin/Jungler with unique wall-running and trapping abilities.

• Returning Favorites: Popular Gods from the original Smite, such as Mulan, Geb, Ullr, and Agni, are making a comeback with updated skill sets.

• Expanded Roster: The God roster will expand to nearly 50 by the end of January 2025, with 20 featuring the innovative "Aspects" system during the open beta. Aspects allow players to trade a God's ability for a powerful bonus. For example, Athena loses her ally-shielding teleport but gains a foe-weakening one.

• New Game Modes: Experience the thrill of 3v3 Joust, set in an Arthurian-themed arena with teleporters and stealth grass, and the 1v1 Duel mode, both using the same map.

• Quality-of-Life Improvements: Smite 2 is also introducing numerous quality-of-life features, including Role Guides for new players, PC text chat, enhanced item store navigation, death recaps, and more.

Beyond the Beta:

The first Smite 2 esports tournament finale will take place at the HyperX Arena in Las Vegas from January 17th-19th.

Smite 2 is available for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. Mark your calendars for January 14th and prepare for battle!
