Smite 2 Preview: A New Era For Godly Powers
Smite, the classic third-person MOBA, is receiving a surprise sequel on a brand-new engine with a ton of changes and enhancements.
While some are excited to see a new God weekly, others are a little peeved about having to start from zero after earning themselves a massive collection of Gods over the years, not to mention skins. Hopefully, this move will help bring players back toSMITE 2and get that player count back up over time.
