Alpharetta, USA - December 10, 2024 - Titan Forge Games has today released the eighth and 2024’s final patch for SMITE 2’s Closed Alpha before the free-to-play launch early next year. The update introduces three new Gods to the game and adds a special “The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim” Event to SMITE and SMITE 2.
The Greek Goddess of Beauty, Aphrodite is a powerful support God in SMITE 2. Her abilities allow to heal and protect teammates, strengthen their attacks, and charm enemies to move away from the goddess. Aphrodite is a great choice for team-oriented players who like to keep their allies safe during fights.
Pele is the Hawaiian goddess of Fire, of Dance and Wind, of Volcanoes and Violence. With her explosive abilities and fast-paced melee attacks, the goddess charges into fights, dealing burst damage to foes with her powerful combos.
Medusa is a fearful snake-haired Gorgon in Greek mythology. In SMITE 2, she deals rapid damage to enemies with her venomous ranged attacks. Medusa’s ultimate ability - the petrifying gaze - turns foes looking at her into stone, offering strong crowd control during team fights.
The upcoming anime film “The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim” returns fans to the epic Middle-earth universe this December. To celebrate the upcoming release, Titan Forge Games launches the dedicated event in SMITE and SMITE 2. Players are now able to earn a variety of unique cosmetics from the movie for the respective title through simply playing 10 games.
Rounding off all of this new content, players will find a wealth of tweaks, balance adjustments and bug fixes based on their SMITE 2 feedback.
For guaranteed access to the closed testing, the Founder’s Edition can be purchased on Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox, and Epic Games Store. Players can also wishlist SMITE 2 on Steam and register to participate in alpha testing on the official website. More information about SMITE 2 can be found in the official FAQ and via X, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram.
