The mythological battleground of Smite 2 is about to become more crowded. Hi-Rez and Titan Forge Games have announced their highly anticipated MOBA will transition to a free-to-play model on January 14, dropping its previous paid entry requirement.

Breaking Down the Divine Barriers

This strategic move marks a significant shift from the game’s earlier beta access model, which required players to either purchase a founder’s pack or secure an invitation. The change aligns Smite 2 with other successful MOBAs like League of Legends and Dota 2, making the divine warfare accessible to everyone.

What Makes Smite 2 Stand Out

Unlike traditional MOBAs, Smite 2 offers a unique third-person perspective that puts players right in the action. The game features:

• Diverse roster of deities from various world mythologies
• Distinctive third-person combat system
• Deep strategic gameplay
• Cross-platform availability on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S

Platform Availability

The free-to-play release spans across multiple platforms:

• PC (via Steam)
• PlayStation 5
• Xbox Series X|S

The game builds upon the success of its predecessor while introducing enhanced graphics, improved mechanics, and refined gameplay elements. According to the official Smite Game Twitter account, this move aims to grow the community and make the divine battlefield more accessible than ever.

For veteran MOBA players and newcomers alike, January 14 marks an excellent opportunity to join the pantheon of gods and experience this unique take on the genre without any financial commitment.
