Smite 2 is an Unreal Engine 5 title that will have closed alpha testing in the spring of 2024. Interested players are encouraged to sign up in advance, as Hi-Rez stated that alpha access to Smite 2 will be done via an email containing an access code for the platform of their choice. According to Hi-Rez Studios, the technical debt accrued from making Smite in Unreal Engine 3 was a major reason why a rebuild was necessary. Hi-Rez added that Smite 2 is in a pre-alpha state and that a limited roster of gods will be available during alpha testing. Smite will continue to be supported for the foreseeable future alongside Smite 2.
