Hi-Rez Studios has just announced Smite Tactics, a new strategy game that takes place in the same universe as its popular third-person MOBA Smite.
Smite Tactics will feature turn-based strategy gameplay, which has players directing gods and minions across the battlefield with the goal of leading their team to victory. Before battle, players will create their armies using an assortment of collectible cards.
The game is being built on the Unreal 4 Engine and will feature “many familiar faces from the Battleground of the Gods.” In addition to ranked 1v1 competitive modes, Smite Tactics will feature several adventure modes, during which players will battle against AI-controlled enemies.
According to lead designer Scott Lussier, the team “always wanted to expand the Smite universe,” and now with Smite Tactics they are able to do just that, giving players the opportunity to “experience mythological warfare from a whole new perspective, overseeing battles as their favorite gods and goddesses while wielding their signature abilities.”
A closed beta for Smite Tactics will be available later this year. You can sign up to be a part of the action right here.
