Revealed a year ago, Smite 2 promises to elevate the experience of the beloved third-person MOBA by utilizing Unreal Engine 5. This sequel brings enhanced visuals and refined combat mechanics, along with a revamped item shop that allows for more flexibility in item selection across different god classifications. Players continue to embody gods from various cultures, engaging in epic 5v5 battles to siege the enemy team. Now, following the closed alpha, Smite 2 is open to everyone.

Starting January 14, players can download Smite 2's open beta for free on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC (via Epic Games Store and Steam), and Steam Deck. The latest update introduces Aladdin, a god crafted specifically for Smite 2, who can run along walls and even revive after death thanks to his companion's ability to grant three wishes. True to his legendary tale, Aladdin's ultimate ability allows him to use his lamp to capture enemies and engage in a 1v1 showdown.
