Smite 2 Open Beta Launches January 14 with New Gods and Modes

The free-to-play update introduces Aladdin, four returning gods, and three additional game modes to the MOBA sequel.

Hi-Rez Studios has announced that Smite 2 will transition to a free-to-play open beta starting January 14, 2025.
The update adds five new playable gods, including Aladdin with unique abilities like trapping opponents in a genie lamp.
Three new game modes—Joust, Duel, and Assault—will expand gameplay options beyond the existing Conquest and Arena modes.
The game currently features 45 gods, with plans for further updates, including new mechanics like God Aspects to alter gameplay.
Smite 2 has faced mixed reception during its alpha phase, and its free-to-play launch aims to attract a broader audience despite strong competition from other MOBAs.
