Following Hi-Rez Studios and Titan Forge Studios’ exciting reveal of their mythological multiplayer sequel, you may want to know when the Smite 2 Alpha start date is and how to sign up. Don’t worry; you’ve come to the right place because we’ll be showing you exactly what you need to know here. As always, the initial early access period is slated to take place months before the Smite 2 release date, so you’ll have to remain patient indefinitely for the upcoming MOBA’s official launch. That said, if you’re eager to get hands-on with the game during its pre-release phase, keep reading to find out when and how you can do so.
When is the Smite 2 Alpha Test start date?
The Smite 2 Alpha playtest starts on Thursday, May 30, 2024. The Smite 2 Alpha test weekend will run from Thursday, May 30 to Sunday, June 1. During this time, you will be able to play through a section of the game and control various gods.
Smite 2 Alpha playtest estimated start time
While not confirmed at the time of writing, we expect the Smite 2 alpha weekend test to go live at 8 PM ET on May 29, which would be 1am BST in the UK on May 30. This estimated start time is based on the previous alpha weekend going live at 8 PM ET. Whether or not this will follow the same schedule, however, remains to be seen. Once we get confirmation, we will update this page with the correct information and a countdown.
What is playable in the Smite 2 alpha?
There isn’t a lot of information as to what will be available in the Smite 2 alpha testing. Before the alpha goes live, there will be a detailed preview showcase airing on Twitch, showing off playable gods and additional Alpha Weekend information. What we can expect, though, is some classic third-person action MOBA from a studio that knows what it’s doing. In a recent trailer, we’ve seen a glimpse of what the gameplay looks like.
What platforms will the Smite 2 alpha test be on?
The Smite 2 closed alpha weekend test is available on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, Xbox Series X, and PlayStation 5. The Smite 2 closed alpha period and the full release of Smite 2 will not be available on Nintendo Switch. If you’ve signed up for the Smite 2 alpha, through the founder’s edition or otherwise, you will be sent an email to your inbox if picked for the closed alpha weekend test period.
