Smite Launches Season 4 With Its Biggest Patch Ever

Smite has launched season 4, and released a big ol' update alongside it: new map, new items, new visuals, and a whole bunch more new.

“In Season 4, we are updating some of our core features of SMITE. Ranked is receiving a revamp to its structure, T-Screen makes its return, and players who have Diamond Mastered gods will have new forms of progression available to them.”

Explore Egypt at the height of its civilization on the new battleground, Clash. "This overwhelmingly popular 5v5 mode sits between Arena and Conquest in terms of complexity, bringing both constant action and an accessible form of MOBA strategy." The map also features a fight with the chaos serpent Apophis.

There are more than 70 updated and new items awaiting players this season, including redone starter items. Plus there are now Rituals: "single-use-per-purchase consumables that provide a powerful Relic-like effect."

Of course, the Gods have been reworked, some just visually such as Vamana, while others have had their abilities redefined, such as Hel.

And season 4 introduces three ladder splits, between Spring, Summer, and Fall, so that the ladder will be reset after each split ends.
