After a successful closed alpha phase, Smite 2's free-to-play open beta is now accessible on a variety of platforms, including PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Steam Deck. This launch marks an exciting milestone for fans eager to dive into the sequel of the beloved third-person MOBA. Alongside the open beta, Titan Forge Games has rolled out a comprehensive patch that enhances the game with new gods, an engaging game mode, and much more.
Announced a year ago, Smite 2 promises to elevate the gaming experience from its predecessor with stunning visuals and refined combat mechanics, all powered by Unreal Engine 5. A key feature of Smite 2 is its revamped item shop, which allows players more flexibility in choosing items regardless of their chosen god's classification. As in the original Smite, players assume the roles of gods from diverse mythologies, engaging in epic 5v5 battles on sprawling maps.
Starting January 14, players can download Smite 2's open beta for free across PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC (via Epic Games Store and Steam), and Steam Deck. The latest patch introduces Aladdin, a new god designed specifically for Smite 2. Aladdin's unique abilities include running along walls and a revival mechanism thanks to his companion's three wishes. His ultimate ability enables him to trap enemies in his lamp for a thrilling 1v1 showdown.
Joining Aladdin in the Smite 2 roster are Geb, the Egyptian God of Earth; Mulan, the Chinese Ascendant Warrior; Agni, from the Hindu Pantheon; and Ullr, from the Norse Pantheon. The open beta also reintroduces the fan-favorite Joust mode, where players clash on a more compact 3v3 map. Additionally, the Conquest map and the Assault game mode are available for players to explore during the open beta phase.
Titan Forge Games' creative director has stated that Smite 2 surpasses its predecessor in numerous aspects. The developer expressed gratitude for the feedback received during the closed alpha and teased "ambitious content" slated for release in 2025.
While Smite 2 is available on nearly every major platform, Nintendo Switch users will miss out on the open beta due to performance concerns. However, Titan Forge Games has shown interest in potentially bringing the game to the next-generation Switch 2. For now, Smite enthusiasts on other platforms can freely download and immerse themselves in the exciting world of Smite 2.
