SMITE 2, sequel to the wildly popular third-person action MOBA, SMITE, is receiving three different Founder’s Editions as the release of the game’s early access beta is set for later this year. The three editions will come with multiple goodies, including new exclusive content for current SMITE players and for SMITE 2 and early access to the SMITE 2 battleground during pre-launch Alpha Weekend Events which is planned to start this Spring, but just keep in mind that access to the pre-launch event will be granted only on the hardware platform that the Founder’s Edition was originally purchased on.
Players who purchase the base Founder’s Edition will receive the 2x Legacy Gems Booster, the ‘Cacodemon Ymir’ Skin, a special avatar in SMITE, a badge in SMITE 2, as well as a cross-gen title that can be used and seen in both games and will also permanently unlock all current and future SMITE 2 Gods.
While players who pre-order the Deluxe Founder’s Edition will gain the same rewards as the base edition and more so, Deluxe Founders will receive a Cross-Gen ‘Nightstalker Neith’ Skin and Ascension Passes for the first 11 alpha launch Gods. The Ascension Passes are God specific progression tracks, which will allow players to unlock special rewards as they complete games in SMITE 2.
Finally, there the Ultimate Founder’s Edition, which will grant players everything from the two aforementioned editions and gives Ascension Passes for the first 23 alpha Gods and a special cross-gen avatar, title, badge and a Tier 5 Cross-Gen ‘The Fallen Zeus’ Skin.
SMITE 2 developer, Titan Forge Games, say’s the game is being “…built from the ground up in Unreal Engine 5, the sequel aims to deliver a truly next-gen experience. Newcomers and veterans will discover reimagined Gods, updated audio, VFX refinements, gameplay changes and overhauled Relic and Item systems for deeper strategy and more impactful combat.”
Players looking to jump into the arena and try out the new system can sign up now for a chance to join the alpha test and can also wishlist the game on PC via Steam and the Epic Game Store or through the Xbox and Playstation store respectively.
