Hecate, SMITE 2’s First New God Revealed

Hi-Rez Studios :

  Alpharetta, USA - March 22, 2024 - Titan Forge Games have today revealed Hecate, one of the most community-requested Gods, as the first God coming exclusively to SMITE 2. The Greek goddess of Sorcery joins the initial roster of alpha-Gods in the upcoming sequel to the award winning third-person action MOBA. Her unique abilities, ethereal character design and visual effects were made possible by SMITE 2’s transition to Unreal Engine 5.
 
SMITE 2 - Hecate Deep Dive Video
In this week's deep dive video, the developers focused on Hecate’s development, and how Unreal Engine 5 allows the design team to have greater influence over the prototyping phases of a characters’ kit.
 
The result of this change can be seen in Hecate’s abilities. Traverse Worlds changes the visual design of the world for Hecate and enemy Gods that have been hit by the effect. Another unique ability, Spell Eater, allows Hecate to charge up an Orb during intense battles to unleash damage based on allied and enemy abilities cast near it.

Players can now wishlist SMITE 2 on Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox and Epic Games Store, and register for alpha test access at SMITE2.com. SMITE 2 Founder’s Edition bundles, soon available for purchase, will guarantee access to alpha testing.

More information about SMITE 2 can be found on the official website and via X, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram.
