The developers of the recently announced MOBA SMITE 2 announced that at the start of the game in the project will be about 50 different gods to choose from.
In the studio Titan Forge Games noted that they will not be able to add to the game all 130 gods that were implemented in the previous part of the title. Their number will increase over time, starting from the alpha version (in it we are waiting for about 25-30 characters). The team could add more, but the developers believe that newcomers will be too overwhelmed if they see about a hundred different fighters at once. All of them, in addition, need to be properly balanced, and this is also not a trivial task.
SMITE 2 is scheduled for release this year.
