At the Smite World Championships, Titan Forge made a historic announcement announcing the official release of Smite 2, the much-anticipated follow-up to the well-liked multiplayer battle arena game. Expected for release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Steam, and the Epic Games Store, the game is expected to take the Smite experience to new heights.
Despite the lack of a confirmed release date consumers can expect closed alpha testing to start in the spring of 2024. Titan Forge has stated that it would eventually include every god from the first game, so Smite 2 will open with an amazing lineup of 25 gods.
The keynote address featured new members of the pantheon, however some prominent figures will also be returning. The Greek sorceress Hecate was given additional thought because of the huge interest from fans.
Describing Smite 2 as a MOBA with "more impact, more strategy, and more creativity," Smite general manager Travis Brown highlighted the game's commitment to creating an unparalleled gaming experience.
The complete cross-play and cross-progression support which enables smooth unlock transfers between the PC and console versions of Smite 2, is one of the game's most captivating parts. The objective of this integration is to improve player accessibility and establish a united gaming community.
Smite 2, which is based on the potent Unreal Engine 5 has all of its primary systems and graphic components completely been redesigned. A funny reference to some of the visual cues in the original game running in Flash, an animation programme that is no longer in use, was made during the keynote.
The main objective of Titan Forge for Smite 2 is to "enhance the game in all areas" while maintaining the comfortable atmosphere that players have been accustomed to. During the alpha testing period, the game will retain its third-person viewpoint and accept keyboard and controller inputs.
Titan Forge told gamers that support for the original Smite will continue for the foreseeable future, despite the intriguing possibilities of Smite 2. Titan Forge's commitment to the continued success of the beloved franchise can be seen by the fact that the game is expected to acquire its 130th hero later this year.
