Smite 2: What’s Changing and What’s Staying the Same
Recently, the official announcement of Smite 2 was made at the Smite World Championships in Arlington. Many fans of the original Smite game were curious to see what changes and improvements would be made in the highly anticipated sequel.
At the event, attendees noted that from a gameplay perspective, Smite and Smite 2 looked very similar. It was challenging to spot major differences between the two games. However, developers Travis Brown, Alex Cantatore, and Daniel Cooper of Titan Forge Games assured fans that there are significant improvements and modifications in store for Smite 2.
One of the most notable changes is the transition to Unreal Engine 5, which is expected to bring significant graphical and technical improvements to the game. According to executive producer Alex Cantatore, the new engine will allow for enhanced graphics, lighting, animation capabilities, and creative flexibility. In addition, changes are being made to core gameplay mechanics, such as character stats and item customization.
Players will also notice the addition of new gameplay mechanics, such as an action button for interacting with elements in the game environment. This opens up new tactical possibilities and adds depth to the gameplay experience. Moreover, the matchmaking system is receiving significant upgrades, aiming to create a fairer and more balanced playing field for all participants.
Another exciting feature of Smite 2 is the introduction of over 100 new gods, adding diversity and depth to the game’s character roster. Developers drew on both internal ideas and community inspiration to create unique and compelling new gods. The new engine will also allow for the addition of gods in ways that were previously impossible, offering players fresh and innovative gameplay experiences.
While Smite 2 aims to introduce many new elements, developers are also committed to preserving the familiarity and essence of the original game. According to Titan Forge Games, Smite 2 is designed to be “Smite, but better.” The team is dedicated to capturing the success of the original game while infusing it with important improvements and updates.
Overall, the development team at Titan Forge Games is working diligently to ensure that Smite 2 lives up to the expectations of fans. An early alpha version of the game will be available for early access this spring, giving players an opportunity to experience the new features and improvements firsthand. With its commitment to both innovation and tradition, Smite 2 is poised to redefine the multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) gaming experience.
