Pitch a festive in-game event for SMITE 2!

The original SMITE had plenty of in-game themes and events and it's likely that SMITE 2 will feature the same, so as we're in the festive period currently, we want you to come up with your own!

Tell us all the details of what it would include: skins, gamemodes, events, challenges, new gods, the whole lot. It goes without saying that these need to be original ideas though, so don't just repurpose a festive event from the first game!

For this winter period, I think an event with the theme “Celestial Ice Festival” would be really cool. The story would take place at a time of a very rare celestial event, when the cosmos align and the ice and stars converge, so that a rift opens between the dimensions and the gods of the stars and winter unite to protect the battlefield from Nyx, the God of the night, accompanied by her celestial beasts.

Winter skins would also be very welcome, such as the Polar King Fenrir, a giant bear with frozen fur and eyes like crystal.

The event could bring innovative games to play. Like the 5v5 mode, within the theme of ice and stars. Every 3 minutes, there could be a “starfall”, when traps would be thrown across the field. Walls of ice could appear at random to create barriers and make the match more difficult. Victory would come from completing objectives, such as destroying constellations.

In addition, the PvPvE mode could be a cooperative match in which two teams compete to defeat winter creatures and stars while collecting resources. There could be traps and sabotage between the two teams, until you reach the final stage, which would be a battle against Nyx.

I think this festival would bring a lot of novelty and community involvement, while maintaining the spirit of the original game.

The old Smite Adventure game modes were truly something special, and Fafnir's Winter Wonderland stands out as an absolute classic. I remember sinking countless hours into it, teaming up with friends to tackle its challenges, and having an absolute blast. It was the perfect mix of strategy, teamwork, and fun, and it added a fresh layer to the Smite experience. Bringing back something similar would be a fantastic way to reengage fans who loved those adventures.

A great idea could be to tie it to the Chinese New Year, creating a mode with 12 levels, each themed around one of the zodiac animals as bosses - or even some of our favorite Chinese Gods and Godesses. This would not only provide variety and replayability but also a fun thematic twist. It could even serve as a teaser for a new god from the Chinese pantheon, adding extra excitement for lore enthusiasts.

I thought of an event called “Shadow of Ice”

Theme: Ancient frozen spirits fly over our arena and bring a new way

Event:

Duration: December 15 to January 10.

Game Mode: “Ice Hunt” - A PvPvE mode where you join two teams that will face each other indirectly, facing human enemies and icy creatures. The map is not released in its entirety from the start, where you end up facing waves and with elements of resource management, try to survive. The map expands as new “events” occur, with several possible, such as a counter of defeated enemies or who transports a magic item faster from one location to another, thus expanding the map until you reach the end, where in a dominate-the-flag scheme, the teams face each other with buffs due to their previous performance.

Visuals: Dark and misty maps, full of ancient ruins covered in snow.

Music: Constantly suspenseful, changing to epic as you go.

I really like events that go beyond the obvious, where you just have a common goal and release the players to fight, the idea of uniting a PVE element and requiring collaboration between the players at the PVE moment brings a big change from what we know of the game.

Festive Event: "Divine Winter Solstice"

In SMITE 2, the Divine Winter Solstice could be a seasonal event celebrating the winter solstice with a unique narrative, themed skins, and special game modes. The gods come together to face an ancient threat emerging from the heart of winter, forcing them to collaborate in an epic challenge.

Key Features of the Event:

PvE Mode: “The Rise of Ymir”
A cooperative mode where players must defeat a primordial Ymir, empowered by eternal frost, and his legion of icy minions. The mode would feature multiple stages, including protecting a temple, collecting ancient relics, and a final battle against a colossal Ymir in a frozen arena.
Exclusive Skins and Rewards
Gods would receive festive skins, such as Thor wielding a crystalline ice hammer, Scylla with pups dressed as reindeer, or Zeus draped in a mantle adorned with winter lights. Completing event challenges would unlock rewards like emotes, avatars, and profile decorations.
Winter-Themed Map
Standard game arenas would be decorated for winter, with snow, illuminated trees, and festive music. Some god abilities might temporarily change their appearance to match the theme, such as snowballs instead of projectiles or icy trails.
Daily Missions and Lore
Players could unlock fragments of a new divine narrative by completing daily missions, uncovering the secrets of the “Winter Sun” and its connection to the pantheon.

The Divine Winter Solstice would be an event rich in atmosphere and content, designed to offer challenges, festive aesthetics, and a sense of community, making winter a special time in the SMITE 2 universe.
