Titan Forge Games, the studio behind the popular game SMITE, has announced the addition of two new playable characters, Baron Samedi and Yemoja, to the Closed Alpha of SMITE 2. Baron Samedi is the first God from the Voodoo Pantheon to join the game, with abilities focused on crowd control, healing, and damage over time. Yemoja, the Goddess of Rivers, is the first God from the Yoruba Pantheon and uses a unique resource called Omi to cast spells that revolve around water and waves.

The latest patch includes the first short tutorial videos and guides for the Arena and Conquest game modes, with more tutorials to come in future updates. Players can guarantee their access to the closed testing by purchasing the Founder's Edition on Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox, and the Epic Games Store.
