New God, Mode and Map are Coming to SMITE in 2022

During the Hi-Rez Showcase developers from SMITE has introduced information about the latest upcoming features and content that will appear in SMITE in 2022. Read on to learn about the new God, mode and map coming to SMITE.

New God Shiva in February

To start off Season 9, SMITE releases one of the most requested gods in its history, Shiva, the Destroyer.

On the battleground of the Gods, Shiva balances two states of being, destruction and bliss, hindering his enemies or alternatively blessing his allies. Also known as the Lord of Dance, he reveals his world-ending performance within his ultimate ability.

Along with Shiva, five more playable Gods will join the fight in 2022, including some revealed in the video below.

New Main Game Mode: Slash

This mode incorporates players’ favorite element of the Siege mode – a summonable Juggernaut – to the 5v5 experience of Clash. The new map, inspired by the Maya and Egyptian pantheons, allows for more teamfights and meaningful objectives.

Everyone can play Slash for free as soon as it launches with SMITE Season 9 this January.

New Conquest Map

Last year for the first time, SMITE released several seasonal updates for the map of its most competitive mode, Conquest. This successful initiative continues in 2022, and here is the first look at the Season 9 Conquest, Dharmic Era, the first of three new Conquest maps coming up this year.

Shiva’s presence has changed the environment to evoke elements of the Hindu pantheon. Tiamat’s castle is now overgrown as her rule subsides.

As a brand-new gameplay feature, an Obelisk can be filled with special offerings from Jungle Camps. The Obelisk grants a unique and powerful reward: Indra’s Scepter. Functioning as an indestructible mobile team tool, Indra’s Scepter either attacks nearby enemies or heals allies and structures. 

Also, new, a Naga monster awaits deep in the Jungle, dropping additional offerings for the Obelisk. Finally, with Season 9 minions will be equally male and female, just like any divine and mortal population.

New ‘Adventure’ Modes and Crossovers

Season 9 brings back a community favorite: the Adventures!

Back in 2017, SMITE introduced the Adventures: temporary game modes including an anime-inspired horde mode, a King of the Hill, and several PvE dungeon-crawlers. In 2022, there will be two brand-new Adventures free for all players.

Finally, all throughout the year, new crossovers with popular franchises can be expected, as well as a substantial amount of Quality of Life updates.
