It says in the title... "2". Can't you see it?

With it being a new engine, thats great, but i was wondering the same thing. I feel like they should call it like Smite with a subtitle like Ascension, Reborn, etc. Unless they have some crazy big mode up their sleeves, which i doubt, i just dont see the "2" either

[Black Hodor]

pay 2 times for the same stuff

Best answer is to Wait until release in July and try for yourself, if its not for you... Keep playing Smite 1. If Smite 2 somewhat suprises you , play that one.

its a sequel with some new mechanics (stat and scaling system is completely different, all skills got some rework too) and 2 generation engine and graphic leap. better engine for future expansion too.

its gonna be a live service game and evolving with time as every live service game.

what do you expect of an online game, they take the current system, try to improve on everything they deem safe and then over time see how changes get accepted.

this is NOT a singleplayer game where you have some new story or different kind of gameplay (although those might get added).

some people fail to understand what "live service game" means. they think stuff they buy in the online shop has real value (it has no value).

Their purchases bankrolled the upgrade. If there's entirely new skins that's one issue, but if they're simply the same skins with a graphics update you can't blame someone for having a sour taste in their mouth, particularly if they spent a lot of money or had limited skins that are not purchasable that won't be available with the new update.

Some companies simply update their engine, release it as a massive update, and use that to drive new players to the fore. 'Live service' means they are reliant on players spending money on skins and battlepasses to keep from shuttering. If you show someone who's willing to drop lots of money on your game that you won't respect their purchase, they won't spend their money on the game anymore, or at least I wouldn't.

Everyone expects a 'live service' game to eventually die, but you could call this a paid update that wipes your collection of purchased items. Not the best deal for the player, regardless of legality of ownership, and that's precisely what makes people angry about it. People get emotional about money if they feel like it was used on something with 'no value.'

But its also free...

Looks like just a facelift. Can't imagine the game will stop being a low-skill CC spam-fest.

[Boohz]

someone can confirm, the smite 2 have arena in the begining?

[Orge Lambart]

so they can recharge you for the skins you already bought.. but you get 50% off to rebuy them, so it's all gravy train..

[Hollow-Enigma]

Any content that is actually transferred is 100% accessible with legacy gems, so you won't be charged for any old skins.

Tell me you dont watch dev vlogs without telling me... Even the devs started experimenting in UE5 before their Corporate investors knew they would make Smite 2
