SMITE Season of Hope New Content & Features:

Year 10’s second season includes a new Conquest map, significant gameplay changes, a new reward-heavy event, and more:

• New Conquest Map: The Mayan goddess Ix Chel takes on Surtr in the new season, and their epic conflict has reshaped the land with a new Maya-themed Conquest map. Ix Chel herself will be coming to SMITE as a playable God sometime in April.
• Full Healing Rework: SMITE’s healing system has been completely reworked in the new season to mitigate the mechanic’s disproportionate strengths. All gods will now heal roughly 30% less from abilities, and the same cut has been applied to lifesteal. Healing gods and items have been empowered, and healing abilities will now only scale with items and levels instead of power. The Brawling System has been removed altogether.
• New Event: The “Hope Reborn” event will run throughout the season with over 20 skin rewards, including the latest Tier 5 skin Leading Lady Aphrodite.
• New 90-Tier Battle Pass: The Battle Pass has been upgraded from 60 to 90 tiers, and will include seven skin rewards: three all-new skins each with one variant, and a re-imagined skin from the game’s past.

SMITE Season of Hope begins March 28 across PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. Read into the season’s gameplay changes in depth here, or check out the story trailer covering the lore of Sutr and Ix Chel’s conflict.
