Main Patch scheduled to go live: February 24


Welcome to our Open Beta 4 update! This patch features the highly anticipated return of Artemis from SMITE 1—reimagined and ready to conquer the battleground in SMITE 2.





We also have a fresh lineup of Cross-Gen and Classic skins making their way into the store, including Foxy Amaterasu, Baron Frostchild Ymir, La Roca Hercules, Summer Fun Medusa, Hellforged Thor, Lil Bites Sobek, and Nano-Mancer Baron Samedi. The Boss Man Danzaburou skin also arrives as a Divine Legacy unlock for those who earned it in SMITE 1.

Thor is also receiving a brand-new Aspect, allowing players to alter the God of Thunder’s gameplay for a truly unique experience. If you haven’t played him awhile, it might be time to put him back in the rotation.

Looking ahead, Awilix is set to arrive on March 3, bringing her dynamic combat style to the roster. Dive into the details below to learn more about these major additions—alongside the extensive balance changes, quality-of-life improvements, and bug fixes that round out this update. Strap in and prepare for the next phase of SMITE 2’s open beta!
