Smite 2skins will be under a completely new Unreal Engine 5 setup. However, the transition betweenSmite‘s Unreal Engine 3 to the sequel’s Unreal Engine 5 might be an issue.
Most Smite 2 skins will not transfer from Smite 1
You may need some of Cupid’s love or a nice warm hug from Agni because most of yourSmite 1skins won’t transfer asSmite 2skins.
“Smite 2is a multi-generational leap fromSmite 1, from Unreal Engine 3 toUnreal Engine 5,” explains theofficial Q&A. “That means we have to completely rework or recreate every piece of content for it to function inSmite 2.“
Hi-Rez Studios says that it would take “about 246 person-years of work” to port over 1,600 skins from the original game. And that excludes the Mastery skins too. “We couldn’t both do that, and makeSmite 2as amazing as we knew it could be if we focused on starting anew,” said Hi-Rez Studios.
Will Smite players be reimbursed?
If your skins aren’t transferred over toSmite 2,at least you’ll be rewarded withLegacy Gemsand Divine Legacy. Legacy Gems are the in-game currency of the new game. Meanwhile, Divine Legacy provides:
Some skins will be cross-compatible, however. The new skins inSmitein Year 11 will be available on both games as long as they’re linked to the same account. The old game will still be supported after the release of the sequel,so you’ll still be able to enjoy the old skins at least for the foreseeable future.
