Isn't this game free to play?

Correct me if I'm wrong but...isn't this game free to play? Because apparently there is a price tag on "Smite 2".... A price tag on the actual game?? or some sort of nonsense bundle they're making???

It'll be free too play come july when its officially released. The buy ins, much like smite 1, are to get all the gods without having to buy them as they get released.

Plus the packs double the legacy gems you get so rather than losing half the value of your smite 1 inventory you'll essentially get a 1 to 1 value refund. Though I fully expect that the double legacy gem portion of the packs will vanish on release and be claimed too have only been available to early access investors.

Well you lose all the skins pre season 11. Which can be rebought with the legacy gems (as the skins are remade). But yeah you'd have to pay for the all gods pack (again) lest you wanted too earn gems in f2p to buy them as they (re)release.

As for OW2... sorta. I mean it's slightly better than OW2 initital release which saw us early players completely lose our inventories.

lmao go play that game then, you know the game that released a 2nd game promising pve that then didnt deliver on it has since gone back on even doing pvp, they removed more of the things that was actually in overwatch 1 while adding even more microtransactions

meanwhile smite 1 is refunding you every gem, free or bought actually making a new game, while also giving you the option of using the currency to buy new stuff or buy any smite 1 things that comes for 100% they are also doubling your money if you buy any of the founding packs. yeh give me a call when o2 doubles anyone's money oh wait

you paid for the god pack in smite 1. your skins are in smite 1. good news is that smite 1 is still going to be there so no worries for you my friend.

As far as I understand how Legacy Gems work, they only give you a 50% discount for whatever you will be buying in SMITE 2. Basically you pay half the price with your wallet and half of the price is covered by Legacy Gems until you use them all and then you pay 100% from your wallet. So no, you can't use them to buy stuff in SMITE 2, they will only provide you with a 50% discount.

You don't lose anything because Smite 1 is not going anywhere

Doesn't look like it will be free until 2025, or late 2024 - https://www.gamewatcher.com/news/smite-2-will-be-free-to-play-but-the-founders-edition-is-required-for-the-alpha
