Smite 2 Free-to-Play Launch Date Announced Alongside New Character

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 will feature a wealth of new content, including:

• Aladdin: The first God from the Tales of Arabia pantheon, debuting alongside the beta. This Magical Assassin and Jungler boasts unique wall-running and lamp-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, offering a diverse range of mythological figures.

• New Game Modes: Experience the thrill of Joust (3v3) and Duel (1v1), both featuring a new Arthurian-themed map with teleporters and stealth grass.

• Aspects System: This innovative feature allows players to alter a God's abilities, trading one aspect of their build for a powerful bonus. 20 Gods will initially feature Aspects, with more to come.

• Quality-of-Life Improvements: Smite 2 will also introduce numerous quality-of-life enhancements, including Role Guides, improved in-game messaging, PC text chat, item store upgrades, and detailed death recaps.

The open beta will feature 20 of the game's eventual 45 dynamic Gods, with Aspects available for a select number. The first Smite 2 esports tournament will conclude at the HyperX Arena in Las Vegas from January 17th-19th.

Smite 2 is available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. Prepare for battle on January 14th!
