The many existing SMITE 2 trailers do a brilliant job of illustrating why the soon-to-be free-to-play MOBA is so exciting to play, but the more, the better, right? We challenged our community of SMITE players to make one of their own and, through a combination of reused footage from existing official SMITE 2 videos and their own gameplay capture, they delivered. We’re thrilled to present five fan-made SMITE 2 trailers here, each putting a different aspect of the game’s specialness on full display.
So without further ado, here are the best fan-made SMITE 2 trailers:
NotAValveGame
In first place is NotAValveGame, who kicks things off with an unorthodox approach in the intro with a seven-year old clip from a meme video. However, it serves two purposes: first and most importantly, it's funny, and secondly it sets up SMITE 2 as the solution to self-image problems. While that notion is obviously tongue-in-cheek, it’s certainly a memorable setup for a series of well-chosen clips, including from esports matches, which do a great job of showing how fun and exciting SMITE 2 is to play.
Empen
Empen's trailer is all about preparing for the free-to-play launch in January 2025 - which should see a huge influx of new SMITE 2 players - because it highlights exactly what makes the game so great: loads of gods with epic abilities, clutch kills to win matches, and teamwork to make the dream work. All of this is shown with a dramatic soundtrack, making it essentially an exhilarating SMITE 2 montage that doubles as a trailer.
Cloggedbean
Cloggedbean's trailer is short but sweet, coming in at just 60 seconds, but it's very well polished. It utilises some footage from official SMITE videos at the start and follows them up with some high-quality gameplay. On top of that, there’s some clever, attentive editing - note the perfect timing in the song as soon as the drum kicks in, and Athena comes crashing to the ground to break Ares's chains as he holds Zeus down.
Tdog
Tdog's trailer is another one that isn't too dissimilar from a montage. Each of the clips used is high quality, showcasing plenty of skill with each god, and the song choice - Become God by Ghost Data - is very fitting. It's also short and sweet at just over a minute, but uses pre-rendered footage effectively alongside the in-game capture.
Dydo
Finally, we have Dydo's trailer, which does an excellent job at showcasing each of the different gods available in SMITE 2. It consists mostly of footage from official Titan Forge videos and promo material, but it's well edited, with two scenes flicking through them, from both the god screen in the menus and from their POV in-game. This is followed by a lot of high-action clips, showing how intense the game can be.
