The game also features an updated item shop that allows players to choose items irrespective of their god’s classification. Similar to the original Smite, players embody gods from diverse cultures to compete in a 5v5 match and siege the enemy team. Now, following the closed alpha, Smite 2 is open to all players.

The latest update brings exciting new content, including Aladdin, a god specifically crafted for Smite 2. Aladdin boasts unique abilities such as running along walls and reviving after death thanks to his companion's three wishes. His ultimate ability captures enemies, forcing them into a 1v1 confrontation, true to his legendary origins.
