    • This only includes players on the team that captured the Totem objective

  • Jungle timers will now have two states:
    • If an enemy did not witness a camp being cleared, they will have no knowledge of when a camp will spawn
      • This means that the enemy will see an empty camp on the minimap with no respawn timer
    • If an enemy did witness a camp being cleared, they will see the respawn timer for that camp as normal
      • This means that the enemy is fully aware of when a camp will respawn
• Wind Sprite Update
• “Wind Sprites was our first experiment aimed at having objectives spawn new things in the map. We are currently in the iteration phase of pushing this idea further and expanding on its possibilities. In the meantime, we will continue to make adjustments to the Wind Sprites to ensure a fair and balanced map.”

  • How much bonus Gold your team gets depends on how far behind your team is, up to a maximum of 8000 Gold behind.
    • This mapping is exponential, so the bonus gold while only slightly behind is meagre, and while moderately behind is still fairly small.

Champions of the Battleground,

We’re thrilled to reveal the SMITE 2 Artisans Program—our brand-new UGC initiative inviting our passionate creators to help shape SMITE 2’s future. This unique opportunity will allow a small number of talented artists to create custom artwork, skins, and other in-game elements that may be featured in SMITE 2, and share in the revenue they earn.

What Is the Artisans Program?

Artistry & Innovation: The Artisans Program empowers you to bring your unique visions to life in SMITE 2.

Monetize Your Talent: By partnering with us, you won't just showcase your creativity—you'll earn directly from it. Approved Artisans will receive a share of revenue, creating a direct connection between your success and the game's thriving community. Our goal is to foster a mutually beneficial partnership, helping you thrive as an artist while enriching the SMITE 2 experience.

Creative Community: Join other creatives who share your passion for SMITE 2. Exchange ideas, get feedback, and learn together in a supportive, dedicated environment.

Phase 1—Limited Early Access Group: Initially, the Artisans Program will launch with Phase 1, a limited-scale pilot designed to set a high-quality benchmark and ensure the program’s long-term success.

Key details of Phase 1:

• Short Application Window: Applications will only be open for a brief period, closing promptly on April 24th at 11:59 PM ET. This initial phase will be highly selective, allowing us to closely collaborate and provide personalized support to each Artisan.
• Limited Spots Available: Only a small number of artists will be accepted, offering a focused environment to refine processes and maximize creator success.
• Direct Collaboration: Selected Artisans will work closely with the SMITE 2 team to receive direct feedback, extensive support, and in-depth guidance to help elevate their creations.
• Early Access Benefits: Participants in this initial group will have a unique opportunity to set trends and standards within the community, potentially securing a lasting impact on SMITE 2’s creative landscape.

How to Apply

Complete the Official Application -  Be sure to review our terms and conditions, and then you can apply! Be ready to share your portfolio, design experience, and any relevant background.

Await Selection - We will notify successful applicants via email and invite them to a program Discord. Only a small number of Artisans will be chosen for this initial phase, but we plan to open the program up wider in the near future.

Get the Kit and Get Started -  Once accepted, you’ll gain access to official SMITE 2 assets and guidelines to ensure your work aligns with the game’s style and community expectations.
