SMITE is cementing its reputation as the MOBA most influenced by MMOs with the launch of The Trials of King Hercules today. “This new adventure plays like a classic dungeon experience from an MMO and offers SMITE players a whole new way to play the gods and goddesses of mythology with their friends,” says Hi-Rez.

“The Trials of King Hercules is a free 3 player PvE dungeon adventure available to all players of any level. The adventure begins in a town hub where players can accept quests before heading out. Completing quests will grant equipable items, and there are also buffs and equipment that can be purchased from the townsfolk with gold earned from defeating enemies inside the dungeon. Within the dungeon players will face bosses that test their ability to coordinate attacks and support each other as the fight progresses. Teamwork will be essential to victory, and players will be able to experiment with over 70 gods to create the most effective team composition. Once players have unlocked the more advanced hard mode they will be able to face the Lernaean Hydra in the final boss encounter for the ultimate loot and in-game rewards.”

The new “SMITE RPG” adventure arrives as part of a larger patch today, which also includes a visual update for Bacchus; new skins for Hercules, Poseidon, Ravana, Rama, and Da Ji; and a balancing pass on relics. Check out the trailer down below.
