How it plays
Teams of five pick gods with different roles and push down lanes toward the enemy base, so a group that plans its picks and talks does far better than a team of strangers.
Arena and Joust are shorter, simpler modes, and co-op matches against AI gods are a gentler start.
Development has moved to SMITE 2, a separate game, so this original version gets no new content.
