Smite 2 trailer and alpha ushers in a new era of Gods and MOBA

One of the most popular MOBAs of all time is finally getting a sequel in Smite 2. I've always been obsessed with mythology, and while my MOBA skills are lacking, I'll unleash my inner god when Smite 2 drops.

Smite 2 Reveal Trailer

Smite 2 received an official reveal trailer via the Smite YouTube, and it's clear the new Unreal Engine does wonders for the MOBA. Alongside this was the announcement of a Smite 2 alpha, allowing players to give the sequel a chance before the official release. Returning Gods, such as Zeus, Loki, Ymir, Anubis, and more can be seen throughout the trailer, meaning veterans will feel right at home.

While the gameplay is the big draw to Smite, I've always enjoyed the attention given to the Gods of various mythologies, and I cannot wait to see the glow-ups in Smite 2. The upgrade to the Unreal Engine has improved the game's visuals while retaining the familiar play of Smite. But I'm curious about what new Gods will join the war in the long-awaited sequel.

Another aspect shaking up the game is the change to Relics and items. Relics are being replaced by a six-slot inventory system, allowing you to bring six items with an activated effect. The change will be tough for those with thousands of hours, but I look forward to how it affects gameplay and strategy! But, honestly, I just want to see cool Gods throwing down with one another.
