As the summer season draws to a close, Smite the free-to-play MOBA is giving the hottest time of the year one last hoorah with it’s latest patch that’s now live on PC.
This, of course, means those who’ve been patiently waiting on the final set of Summer of Smite skins to be released won’t have to any longer. As both Cu Chulainn and Xbalanque’s Summer inspired skins are available for purchase until the Summer of Smite event ends in an upcoming patch. Additionally, with both the Cu Chilainn and Xbalanque skins now available this also means those who’ve purchased every skin for this year’s Summer of Smite event will now unlock the “Bearly Buzzed” skin for Bacchus at no additional cost.
However, Hi-Rez Studios the Georgia based developer has a few more treats for Smite’s playerbase in the form of more skins being introduced into game with this patch that’s appropriately titled “Summer Knockout.”
Check out the skins below:
- Artio – Mastery skins
- Ganesha – Maha Rakta
- Terra – Dropkick Terra
- Vamana – Serenity
