With today’s patch Hi-Rez added a new game mode to their action MOBA SMITE. The Siege mode is currently in beta to give the community the opportunity to provide feedback and help to further shape and improve the mode.
Siege mode is a two lane, conquest-style 5vs5 map with a Mayan theme, where teams will earn points during normal combat to spawn friendly Siege Weapons. These towers work similar to minions but have massive amounts of health and deal out more damage. Players can also teleport to a friendly Siege engine at anytime. A closer look at Siege Mode is available in this video.
Today’s patch also includes the new Egyptian god Osiris, Broken God of the Afterlife. A melee warrior, he uses his ultimate Spirit Rip to transform into his spirit form where he will immediately target the lowest health god in his radius, and rip a fragment of their spirit out, dealing damage and preventing them from healing. In good old Egyptian fashion Osiris can also tether enemies with mummy wraps when using his Judgement Tether ability. A video on the new god is available now.
Hi Rez also implemented a new league system, incorporating many requested changes as well as features expected in competitive ranked gaming. You can find the patch notes on the official website.
