The new PvE mode of SMITE is now live. Players fight against enhanced variants of the known gods.
A few days ago, we reported that SMITE will soon establish its own PvE mode to attract a larger audience. Especially those who do not enjoy PvP skirmishes should find their (Free2Play) fun in the new mode “Xing Tian’s Mountain”. Now the game mode has arrived on the live servers.

The battles are relatively quick and showcase a cool new side of already known gods. Apart from the various mythical creatures, such as ogres or minotaurs, players also fight against souped-up versions of known gods.
The spider Arachne has placed countless webs with small minions on the map, while the god of the sun, Ra, incessantly fires his death ray into the group. To succeed in the battles, not only skill and coordination are required, but also wise planning when purchasing items – for the strategic use of an active item can easily determine victory or defeat.
Anyone who has turned their back on SMITE or has never given the game a chance should take a look again. The best players are anyway awaiting a spot high up on the leaderboard. However, those who “only” survive a few rounds will also be rewarded with chests and skins that can only be earned during this event.
The new game mode is part of the “Odyssey 2017”, which again tempts with numerous rewards in the form of skins, voice packs, and other cosmetics. Therefore, this mode will only be available temporarily – likely until January 2017 when the event ends.
