Overview of Recent Smite 2 Hotfix Update
- Smite 2 has launched a hotfix aimed at improving the gameplay experience for various gods, including Agni and Cabrakan.
- Significant changes include enhancements to Base Teleporters for Basic Attacks and modifications to the Bumbas Golden Dagger, now preventing damage to minions.
- This year, Smite 2 transitioned to a free-to-play model, coinciding with the open beta release across multiple platforms, including PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Steam Deck, together with the reintroduction of the 3v3 Joust mode.
In an effort to enhance player experience, developer Titan Forge Games has rolled out a critical hotfix update for the action MOBA, Smite 2. Utilizing the advanced Unreal Engine 5, Smite 2 is recognized as the follow-up to the beloved 2014 title, merging a captivating blend of exciting action, tricky challenges, and mythology with ability-focused combat. Players can select from several editions including Founder’s, Deluxe Founder’s, and Ultimate Founder’s Editions.
During the recent alpha phase, a November 2024 update addressed various bugs related to God characters and improved stealth mechanics. The latest hotfix is a response to community feedback following a more substantial patch released earlier in the month, which brought about a new UI Auto Build feature and adjustments to the God page. The latest iteration of Smite 2 continues to adapt its God mechanics and has been well-received by players.
On January 21, 2025, Smite Release Manager Kabir Barry shared an extensive list of updates via social media, detailing the improvements made to several characters including Agni’s Notorious Fumes, Cabrakan’s Refraction Shield, and Zeus’ Chain Lightning.

As excitement builds for Smite 2, it has become a key title to consider for fans of games like Marvel Rivals, where immersive gameplay and engaging combat experiences intersect.
