SMITE 2 Adds Ganesha As It Enters Open Beta 12

SMITE 2 added Ganesha in the latest update.

This magical support god uses abilities focused on crowd control, buffs, and protective auras, with his powerful Dharmic Pillars ultimate imprisoning and damaging enemies in a wide area. His new Aspect of the Triumphant, arriving June 20, shifts his gameplay to be more offensive by trading his silences for damage and gaining permanent cooldown reduction on kills.

The update for the third-person MOBA, which is now in Open Beta 12, also expands the Wandering Market with two new Travelers: the patriotic Freedom Traveler featuring Ra’Merica and Thorge Washington skins, and the whimsical Guan Unicorn Traveler with multiple color Prisms and the “Guandolf” title. Additional cosmetics include new Venom Strike Medusa skins and themed bundles, plus an Independence Day bundle featuring teleport effects, name flairs, and voice quips.

There’s also quality-of-life improvements for new players, including auto-adjusting graphics, auto-login, simplified relic selection, a new “Action Camera” with a narrower FOV, and default autobuilds until Account Level 5. Damage indicators and UI improvements also aim to streamline gameplay and clarity for all players.
