Smite 2 dev "would love to bring" all 130 Gods over to the new MOBA

A total of around 50 Gods will be available when Smite 2 launches into free-to-play version 1.0, consisting of a mix of revamped and all-new characters. As of February 2024, there will be 130 Gods available in the original Smite, and we spoke with several members of the Titan Forge Games team about the considerations that go into carrying each God into the game's sequel, why 50 is the perfect number to start with, and which God they wanted to get rid of altogether.
