Hi-Rez Studios, developer of Global Agenda, announced they are developing SMITE, a free-to-play online battleground between gods with a 3rd-person camera instead of the traditional RTS perspective. Players choose from a selection of mythical gods, join session-based arena combat, and use custom powers and team tactics against other player-controlled gods and non-player controlled minions.
“As a studio and as gamers, we love competitive multi-player games that reward teamwork and strategy”, says Todd Harris, Hi-Rez Studios COO. “With SMITE, we draw inspiration from DoTA-style RTS titles, but leverage the Unreal 3 Engine to introduce original action oriented combat mechanics, great graphics, and a mythology-themed setting. These session-based games depend upon balanced class design, sophisticated stat-tracking, and matchmaking functionality. These are features we understand well from Global Agenda and our studio is excited to progress team-oriented PvP in new and original directions with SMITE. At this point we already have a really fun playable version of SMITE and we look forward to sharing additional details about the project in the coming months”

You forgot Bloodline Champions, but it’s actually a damn good game.
let’s see… we’ve already had HoN, LoL, Savage II, LoCO. I still choose DoTA 😉
well looks nice
With GA gone F2P and two tribes games (one being an MMO) on the way, Hi-Rez is really going to town.
The site says action. I’d play that. Never liked the other games because of too much micro.
Looks great, hope I get a beta invite 😀
“These session-based games depend upon balanced class design, sophisticated stat-tracking, and matchmaking functionality.”
I can imagine RIOT Games saying this before they launched League of Legends… Look where it’s at in those areas now.
Please, Hi-Rez Studios, don’t walk RIOT’s path.
Like 🙂
Can’t wait for this to go into beta testing! If this is as good as it sounds, I will play it for SURE! 😀
