Brighton, UK - 6 December 2022: Red Beard Games® and publisher Hi-Rez® have

Watch small-but-mighty gods fight it out in the DKO launch trailer.
Also today, all PlayStation Plus subscribers can enjoy the Founders Edition of DKO (including the full game, 8 gods, cosmetics and a special bonus Skin for SMITE) included as part of December’s monthly games.
