It’s been an immensely exciting 24 hours on Just About, and we’ve been thrilled to welcome so many members to our new Elite Dangerous community. Time to relax, right?

Not quite. Instead, we’re announcing another all-new community and another publisher partnership.

With support from developer Titan Forge Games, Just About SMITE 2 will launch on August 27. 

That’s when SMITE 2’s closed alpha is due to go live 24/7 after a series of time-limited tests. If you’re hesitant to get into the deep but daunting MOBA genre, we’ve got you: our launch line-up is full of guide bounties on everything from gameplay basics to in-depth tips on playing each god, starting with the newest and the most popular. 

Along with all the other fun and creative content tasks you expect, the goal is to equip new players with everything they need to dive into the game. Pick up a Founder’s Edition to do just that when the 24/7 alpha launches.

And why wouldn’t they? Defined by its immersive third-person view and gods based on real mythology, newly rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5, with wide-ranging yet careful changes from its predecessor, SMITE 2 is the freshest MOBA on the market. And with Just About’s bounties putting real-money rewards behind the content you’d be making for free on other platforms, it’s now the most rewarding too.

We’ll have much more to say about SMITE 2 nearer the time. Until then, a warm welcome once again to our Elite Dangerous Commanders, and an assurance: we’ll have even more exciting news to announce shortly.
