Main Patch scheduled to go live: July 15

Sun Wukong storms onto the Battleground in SMITE 2’s latest Update, bringing his iconic shapeshifting abilities and flashy combat to the roster! From smashing foes with his Magic Cudgel to pulling stealthy tricks with his Somersault Cloud, Wukong’s hybrid-scaling kit makes him a formidable brawler with a mystical flair. Plus, get ready for his "Aspect of Transformation" coming July 18, which amps up his animal forms adding unique effects to his other abilities.

The Wandering Market’s got two new spicy additions headed your way. The Emberlord Saga Vault lets you experience Vulcan’s fury filled rebirth across four epic skins (plus Prisms and the first ever SMITE 2 Recall Skins!), while the Nerd Traveler delivers a full-on geek rebellion led by Nerd Rage Cabrakan!

There are also some great Quality of Life Improvements headed to Quickplay, the God Select Lobby, and Match Loading Screen! Whether you’re causing chaos with Sun Wukong’s clones, or following the flame with The Emberlord Saga Vault, Open Beta 14 is sure to be a fiery good time filled with monkey business! See you on the Battleground Deities!
