Amanda Erickson Smite Community Manager has taken to the official PlayStation blog this week to announce that free-top-pay Smite Battleground of the Gods game will be launching on Sony’s PlayStation 4 games console later this year.
Smite has officially entered its Closed Alpha testing phase on the PlayStation 4 today, and will begin a Closed Beta development stage early next month during March 2016.
Registration is now open for gamers to possibly receive a closed beta invitation in the near future. Watch the PlayStation 4 gameplay trailer which has been released this week embedded below and learn more about the game which was created by Hi-Rez Studios back in 2013.
Smite currently supports a global player community of more than 14 million players, which will grow even larger when the game becomes available on PS4. Smite’s team-based action, third-person controls, and deep roster of playable gods make it an ideal fit for PS4, where it will become the biggest MOBA ever to go from PC to PS4.
Billed as the Battleground of the Gods, Smite features more than 70 playable gods and mythological creatures from eight different pantheons around the world, all battling for domination across six intense game modes. Smite always has been and always will be completely free-to-play. Once the Beta begins, PS4 players will have instant access to all of Smite’s game modes, as well as Smite’s five free gods (Ymir, Thor, Neith, Guan Yu, and Ra) and any gods currently available in the free rotation. Additional gods may be unlocked with Favor or Gems, or via special community events.
