    Still Smite, just rebuilt for next-gen.

    Smite 2 was officially announced today at the 2024 Smite World Championship. The still popular third-person multiplayer battle arena (MOBA) will get a new, standalone sequel that isn't quite a "full-fledged" sequel in the traditional sense.

    Riot Games released the new cinematic for League of Legends' Season 2024. The new cinematic is called "Still Here" and with its release Season 2024 has officially kicked off.
