Fans of SMITE already know that the game is packed full of content, but now it looks as though there's even more coming. Season 8 just launched today, bringing in a new era for the unique MOBA game and adding even more things for players to do. The massive update comes at a great time too, as the game's player base has been steadily rising.

As part of this update, SMITE players will enjoy access to a new map for the main 5v5 game mode, a new battle pass for fans to earn more rewards with, a seasonal event that has already started, and several free skins. This is just the start of season 8's content, however, and there is supposed to be more on the way.

Over the last few years, SMITE has not stopped growing. Between adding new gods, seasonal content, and even creative collaborations such as the SMITE X Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collab, it seems that there's always something going on in the game. Players that want to learn more about season 8 and experience all that it has to offer can log into SMITE now for free.

As the cherry on top, the in game guides and tutorials have also been overhauled in an effort to make the game more friendly for newcomers. As with any MOBA title, starting out in SMITE can be a bit intimidating at first, so these revamped guides should be a great way to help new players jump right into the action and start having fun.

SMITE is available now on PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
