I’m not gonna lie, I like the ambition and vision . Hopefully the execution is as good as they are hoping it will be .

[skibakua]

I've been playing Smite for about 8 years now and what I really celebrated at the beginning were the seasonal events, such as the Daji survival mode or the Loki's Dungeon or the Smite version of Mario Kart. I hope you take that into account in Smite 2 pulled. Because those were really cool highlights. I would like these events to come back in Smite 1 too!

[ControllerOverheat]

As someone who played smite from 2018-20 and hasn’t since, I’m excited for this. I hope it will bring a large amount of new players and popular streamers will give it recognition. I understand why long time players could be bummed about not having all their progress but at the same time I think you already got the value out of that investment and it’s about time that an overhaul is in place, hopefully the new game can revive the honeymoon phase of loving this game

[Muffetindo]

I really hope SMITE will get a larger fanbase, I truly think this game is a breath of fresh air even tho it's been here for years, I'm gonna bring my friends to try it as well, hopefully SEA servers will be back with a bigger community.

[cheatermccheat]

This is giving me Overwatch 2 vibes. Basically re-releasing the same game again but we starting from scratch without our skins? Splitting the dwindling community in two as well, we aren't going to be able to find matches. This just seems like a really bad idea. Honestly, from what they've shown so far why is this not a graphics update/engine overhaul instead? Only reason I can think of is they want to sell you back your skins you already own.

[Tbear]

I literally just started SMITE for the first time yesterday and now there's a sequel

[KayrBayr]

I really hope Arena returns. I don't play a lot of the other game types, but I loved hopping onto an Arena every now and then.

[zigh]

Only being able to use legacy gems for 1/2 of a purchase is completely discouraging and feels like a cheap way to get people to buy new gems in order to use their old ones

[a.nicolasbustosl.]

They should add a 4 team capture the flag mode.

[Robin]

Why do I have to spend money or gain the smite 2’s currency in order to use my legacy gems? Legacy gems should be able to purchase items entirely. It’s like a toy with no batteries included. One hell of a cash grab :(

[tristonmurphy]

I’ve been playing Smite for 10 years now. With the god pass and countless skins I have, I’m hoping there’s more of an initiative for me to jump over to Smite 2 outside of graphical updates that’s worth leaving 10 years behind.

[CSSFootage]

Wish HiRez a lot of success, looks like they are pouring a lot of love into this true sequel. But 2024 also has some steep competition of new titles. this game can still dominate and gain a huge player base.

[jetscream]

I really really hope they reconsider legacy gems only giving a 50% discount. That's kinda pointless, I really hope they change them to just be regular gems, that announcement kinda took the wind out of my sails for this, I'm not nearly as excited as I want to be.

[sleepyshamanbryan]

I want to like this... But i just get a real bad feeling about it and really has me super hesitant to continue spending money. I have too many skins that I have collected since Xbox release that mean a bunch to me and keep me coming back. Really loosing everything and restarting is not something i am interested in. The fact that the gems we get only cover 50% of the future purchases, give me bad feeling too for some funky monitization. I get that they want to make money, but i want my skins I bought. So at an impass there. Fortnite moved skins across generations if unreal, i am sure Smite could have figured out how to make it work.

[DamiakerPL]

I don't mind the fact that the game won't start with all the skins, and we will be recompensed the gems for the gems we did spend on the game. But what I do want to know is if those who have "All God Pack" Will have it transfer for Smite 2 or will we be compensated for it too. Please answer as soon as possible Smite Dev Team. This is the real, let's call it "Game Changer" which will probably defy for some people if the game will be worth investing time into the new gen version.

[TheKreve]

I am both excited and terrified.
My favorite god has been Ullr since season 2! And i unlocked frostfire ullr back in season 4 and it is still to this day my favorite skin in the game. I would love to play an all new smite 2 Ullr, but without my frostfire skin that i worked all summer for back when i was only 16 just to save up for. I don't know if it will be the same.

[deltaphazon]

Legacy Gems is... certainly a system. I understand you couldn't port everything over but why stop at 50% of something? Why not let us buy the full thing? For a system marketed as "a reward for long time players for their loyalty" it just seems a little bit scummy.

[bryangriffin]

The new game looks great but the legacy gems are kinda frustrating. Its nice to not waste all of the purchases we've made, but even if they decide to port/recreate a Smite 1 skin in Smite 2 that we already had unlocked we have to spend even more $$$ to unlock it again even with the 50% off???

Also kind of unfortunate that its looking like we will get Smite 2 before PlayStation is included in cross progression :(

Curious how my "Legacy Gems" and "Divine Legacy" will be calculated when I have both an Xbox and a PlayStation account with lots of skins, progress, and masteries

[GodVessel]

I do gotta say though. Im really hoping for a save/skin/progress translation into Smite 2. And i think all longtime players will agree with me that abandoning all of our unlockables and skins for a new engine isnt gonna be worth it. Especially after how much time and effort players have put into Smite 1

[TheHelloImTom]

ive been playing since the beta and really am not going to want to leave the 2000$ worth of gems i spent behind so i hope the new system is worth it with the legacy gems
