[h2]Highlights[/h2]

• Mysterious Warrior Mulan won the community vote and will be the base version in SMITE 2! The team is also looking into updating her name to be Hua Mulan.
  
• A new Patch went live today with balance mostly focused on bringing down various sources of Cooldown Rate on Items. Check out the full notes here.
  
• Anubis and Ymir are on the team's radar for additional nerfs in the near future. Be on the lookout for a new patch later this week!
  
• God Reworks - The crew talked about our approach to reworks in SMITE 2. We're looking at Gods on a case by case basis and evaluating them. Some characters notorious for their balance (IE: Nox, Persephone, etc) may get heavier changes, but we want to make sure we try to stay true to the character identity players have come to know
  
• The team is continuing to work on Spectator improvements to make sure the Founder's Series LAN in January has the best possible viewing experience!
  
• Hercules is CONFIRMED as the second god coming in the next Update alongside Danzaburou! He's getting a slight model update. Be sure to tune into Titan Talk on Friday at 1pm ET where we'll have our Art Director, Ben, show him (and more Gods) off!
  

Be sure to join us on our official Twitch channel Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 1pm ET for Titan Talk!
