What is a MOBA?

Multiplayer Online Battle Arenas, or MOBAs for short, originated as a sub-genre of the RTS (Real-Time Strategy) genre. Because of this, in most MOBA games, the player takes control of a single character from the isometric (top-down) view akin to most RTS games. Typically, in MOBA games, a player takes control of a single character on one of two teams. Those players choose characters that all have their own abilities, or “kits”. To win, the players must use a combination of abilities, teamwork, and strategy to not only best their opponent, but destroy the opponents main structures. A bonus to the genre is that most MOBAs are free games, which is definitely a contributing factor of the their massive success. The genre has many titles, the largest of which being Defense of the Ancients (DoTA) and DoTA 2, League of Legends (LoL), and most recently SMITE!

What is SMITE?

SMITE is one of the more recent free MOBA games to enter the fray. In SMITE you don’t just choose a character, you choose a god. You’ll instantly feel an attachment to characters like Thor and Zeus because even if you don’t know the lore behind them, you’ve at least heard their names before! What makes SMITE so immersive is Hi-Rez Studios’ inclusion of historical lore into the gods’ abilities, kits, and play styles. Thor and Loki aren’t just characters from Marvel comics and movies. They’re also a part of Norse mythology and you can take control of them in SMITE!

What makes SMITE different?

SMITE takes all of the strategy of the top MOBA games and adds another layer of difficulty by putting you into the action! Unlike most MOBA games, SMITE offers players the chance to experience the MOBA genre they know and love from a third-person perspective. This unique perspective allows for an extremely immersive experience unlike any other game in the genre. While this doesn’t sound like such a big change, once you play it you’ll understand! All of these things added together is what has gaming websites everywhere continually rating SMITE as one of the best MOBA games available!

through the whole video i was hoping the flying thing was the manticore

[Naedox]

Now if only Athena could fight like that in game.

You deserve better Athena <3

That's a beautiful looking map. I am worried about frame rates though. Some players play on a potato and struggle with FPS. Oddly though, my computer's a SSJ-potato that can run games like Shadow of Mordor at 60FPS; but sometimes Smite once in a while goes down to 20-30 FPS.

R.I.P in peace, fps

Okay, thats really cool. But when can we get domination back?

[Sykotix]

was a Kali ADC. Hirez changing the meta already I see huh.

[Scoonga_Doonga]

I'm going to take a guess that this map will probably run BETTER than the previous one (Same thing happened when Riot redid SR)

[GiantTornado]

I think that's the best animated video Hi-Rez did so far. Awesome work, please keep it up!

[pivotnaza]

Smite is back baby! and more mythological than ever!

[EpicEthra]

7.8/10  Too much water on one side game unbalanced.

[BitDylan]

This map is amazing! I am loving the amount of detail they are giving to the feel of the game!

[lekchokkunga]

Smite is beginning to become a really good MOBA game,
In my perspective I LOVE this game more than lol or dota

[enzolontoc]

It looks so amazing! I love the whole opposite looking sides.

[RookieN]

Sneaky Hirez....uploaded this right after they revealed it on their stream a min ago :P

[Ragna]

0:40 confirmed new fire giant chest.Roll for a chance to get a fire giant buff or some icons!

[EnbyNomad]

I really hope this is primarily a graphical update, because I dont wanna have to work on whole new jungle routes

[Lynch]

Lets be honest, Kali would have killed that Athena looong ago

[gabrielcg]

Wow, that is gorgeous! It is so awesome to see a game evolving through time. This map is simply amazing, the new model of the elements are fantastic. I do hope new maps come soon and we get a variety of places to play. (It would be nice to have pantheon themed maps, xD)

[Sandro]

Thanks for uploading it so quickly :) Unfortunately my stream crashed during it

[therameka]

Finally, a trailer that doesnt have thor in it
