This Week in the Realm | May 3-9

Champions!

This week might be a little more quiet than last, but we still have some fun planned for you in the Realm. While you all continue to keep the hype for Vatu and the Shadows update, here’s what you can expect this week:

2X Event Pass XP
  • Starting this Friday, you’ll be able to get another chance at double XP for your Game On Event Pass. This will begin on Friday, May 7th at 4 AM EST. 2X Event Pass XP will end Monday, May 10th at 4 AM EST. So make sure you mark your calendars if you haven’t already finished, this is the best chance to get it done before we launch our upcoming Beach Bash Event Pass!

We’ll see you in the Realm!

Smite developers Hi-Rez Studios are offering permanent remote work
