There’s only one way to guarantee access: Money!
Hi-Rez Studios has finally announced early access for Smite 2, and players can already sign up to join. MOBA sequels are rare, especially ones available on console, but the established developer is finally revealing why it chose to go with a brand new game rather than a massive update. Closed alpha weekends will begin in May 2024, and signups are now open for the preview events.
Of course, as with any major release, the initial game will likely have plenty of bugs to squash. Hi-Rez hopes to iron out any major kinks with a series of alpha and beta tests before Smite 2’s official release. There’s even a way to guarantee access, but don’t expect it to come cheap.
