ATLANTA – JUNE 11, 2024 – Divine warfare rages on in SMITE and today Titan Forge Games shake things up and release the Year 11 Mid-Season Update on all platforms!

Alongside dozens of item reworks and new Jungle mechanics, this Update includes:

  • The Summer Sizzle event

  • The new Cross-Gen Pass

  • New content in the year-long Immortal Honor event

Dozens of Item Reworks to explore

For Mid-Season, countless items have been changed including full reworks. SMITE fans get to play around with original new concepts sure to refresh the meta and the overall experience especially at high levels of play. Many Tier 2 items now have impactful passive effects on top of flat stats, making them more rewarding to purchase.

 

For instance, Tower Shield increases your Attack Speed each second you are in combat against Gods, while Cloak of Concentration steals Protections from all enemies when you are hit by Crowd Controls. And for greedy Mages, Book of Secrets now gains stacks thanks to your ability damage. Those stacks grant nothing on the spot but will be instantly transferred when you upgrade Book of Secrets into Tablet of Destinies or Book of Thoth.

 

___________
Upgrade your Totems in Conquest

In the Jungle, destroying the Shaman Camp spawns one of five Spirit Totems that grant you juicy buffs such as Penetration, Attack Speed, Max. Health, etc. And this popular mechanic has just become even more interesting.

 

Now each time you kill the Shamans, the Spirit Totem of the corresponding color will spawn… and if it was already there, it will be permanently upgraded. That’s an invitation to build an actual Totem farm for your team throughout the match!

 

What’s more, players can now steal the opponent’s Spirit Totems. This ensures that you can counter the enemy’s plan around their own Totems, and it further strengthens their impact.

 

Come check this out and more in SMITE with the Mid-Season Update!

 

___________
Eight new Cross-Gen Skins

Right on time for hot days, the Summer Sizzle event is now live, starring dozens of Skins! Mighty Mutt Fenrir is such a good boy that he’s already available in SMITE 2 during Alpha Weekends. Party Animal Danzaburou is unlocked for free as the collection reward when you purchase any other 3 Summer Sizzle items. Fan-favorite Skins such as Danger Noodle Kukulkan have also returned in the Summer Sizzle event.

 

Each SMITE update brings a new Pass full of content, including two Skins. Today’s Doom Circuit Cross-Gen Pass brings you Ceramic Circuit Kali instantly, then Nano-Mancer Baron Samedi as you play matches and level up your Pass.

 

Lastly, the Immortal Honor event that will last through this entire Year 11 now showcases 2 new Cross-Gen Skins: Lil Bites Sobek and Dread Stalker Khepri, the brain of the organization.

 

As Cross-Gen Skins, ALL of the Mid-Season new Skins will also be unlocked in SMITE 2 as soon as they are released in the sequel.
