The Greek Goddess of Beauty, Aphrodite, is a powerful support God in SMITE 2. Her abilities allow her to heal and protect teammates, strengthen their attacks, and charm enemies to move away from the goddess. Aphrodite is a great choice for team-oriented players who like to keep their allies safe during fights.
Pele is the Hawaiian goddess of Fire, Dance, Wind, Volcanoes, and Violence. With her explosive abilities and fast-paced melee attacks, the goddess charges into fights, dealing burst damage to foes with her powerful combos.
Medusa is a fearful snake-haired Gorgon in Greek mythology. In SMITE 2, she deals rapid damage to enemies with her venomous ranged attacks. Medusa’s ultimate ability – the petrifying gaze – turns foes looking at her into stone, offering strong crowd control during team fights.
But that’s not all. Rounding off all of this new content, players will find a wealth of tweaks, balance adjustments, and bug fixes based on their SMITE 2 feedback.
What about the special The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim event?
The upcoming anime film The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim returns fans to the epic Middle-earth universe this December. Set 183 years before the events chronicled in the original trilogy of films, The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim tells the fate of the House of Helm Hammerhand, the legendary King of Rohan.
A sudden attack by Wulf, a clever and ruthless Dunlending lord seeking vengeance for the death of his father, forces Helm and his people to make a daring last stand in the ancient stronghold of the Hornburg— a mighty fortress that will later come to be known as Helm’s Deep. Finding herself in an increasingly desperate situation, Héra, the daughter of Helm, must summon the will to lead the resistance against a deadly enemy intent on their total destruction.
To celebrate the upcoming release, Titan Forge Games launches a dedicated event in SMITE and SMITE 2. Players can now earn a variety of unique cosmetics from the movie for the respective title by simply playing 10 games.
