Microsoft and Hi-Rez Studios to make Xbox One the next Battleground of the Gods.


COLOGNE, Germany, AUGUST 12, 2014. Today during the gamescom 2014 Xbox news briefing, Hi­-Rez Studios announced that SMITE, the acclaimed free-to-play 3rd Person Action MOBA for the PC, will arrive on Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, via the ID@Xbox self-publishing program in 2015.

"SMITE's high-action gameplay makes it unique among leading MOBAs in that it is incredibly fun and engaging to play on a console controller," said Todd Harris, Chief Operating Officer of Hi-Rez Studios. "The Xbox One provides the perfect platform for us to bring the Battleground of the Gods to console gamers around the world."

"As a third-person action game, SMITE is perfectly suited for the Xbox One controller", said Chris Charla, Director of ID@Xbox for Microsoft. We're excited to feature a MOBA that fits our console audience in gameplay and look forward to Xbox gamers around the globe battling for dominance."

Since launching on the PC in Europe and North America in March, 2014, SMITE has quickly established itself as one of the top games in the rapidly growing MOBA genre, with over 5 million players. Themed around gods of mythology, and offering a third-person camera and more game modes than any other leading game in its genre, the game provides a unique, action-packed experience that puts the player in the thick of the action.

Many people already use controllers for SMITE. Just buying items is impossible, which would probably be coded a button = i. And then up/down analog stick will select items.

Voice commands it's the way of the future. *waves hand though the air like a Jedi* I just assume they will have the Kinect involved with this

But really I am so glad I will never buy an XBoxOne because I would never want to flap my arms around like an idiot just to buy a pair of Midas Boots while playing Smite.

I honestly don't think they're going to have voice commands but in-game conferences because you can't really type, can you?
