It’s been a long time coming, but the SMITE 2 open beta has been officially announced by the Hi-Rez development team. Now, all players who want to try out the game before it officially releases can have a chance to see every new change from the first SMITE.
SMITE 2 has been out in a closed alpha since May, and open closed alpha since Aug. 27, giving players who purchased to play the game in its unfinished state several months to get used to everything. There have been multiple changes to how items work, gods and goddesses, physicals, and gameplay mechanics, alongside monthly updates to reapply player feedback. It’s been a long road, but now everyone has the chance to give it a try for free. Here’s what you need to know about when the open beta for SMITE 2 begins, and how you can join.
