The gaming community is abuzz with excitement as credible sources hint at the upcoming announcement of "Smite 2," the much-awaited sequel to the 2014 hit third-person MOBA, Smite. This revelation comes nearly a decade after the original game's release, which, despite not reaching the heights of MOBA giants like League of Legends or Dota 2, has maintained a dedicated fanbase.
Is Smite 2 on the Horizon?
Evidence of Smite 2's impending announcement has been mounting. A post on the Russian Steam storefront briefly mentioned Smite 2, urging users to add it to their wishlist before it was swiftly removed. This post was captured by quick-acting gamers and shared on Reddit, sparking widespread speculation.
Further fueling the fire, dedicated dataminers discovered references to a 'Smite 2 Founders Pack' within Smite's game files. As reported on SmiteDatamining.com, this pack is rumored to be available during Smite's 2024 birthday event on March 25, coinciding with the game's ten-year anniversary.
