Smite’s Celestial Voyage Patch Adds Poseidon Remodel And Egyptian Event

As we’ve previously reported during the past weeks where Hi-Rez Studios’ popular free-to-play MOBA, Smite is expected to see a remodel for Poseidon and a new mini-event for the Egyptian pantheon set to arrive relatively soon. Has finally been officially revealed by the Georgia based developer during the latest patch notes show.

Which sees both aforementioned features being included in their upcoming patch “Celestial Voyage” that’s set to arrive on the PC first as usual sometime early next week. Below you can catch the first look of Poseidon’s long-awaited remodel via his card art and the information regarding Smite’s latest in-game event:

Poseidon

• Base model
• Reskin
• London Conspiracy e-sports
• Mastery skins

It should be noted that alongside his model being updated, his kraken also received the same kind of makeover.

Celestial Voyage

• Includes four new skins for Anhur, Bastet, Kephri and Neith.
• Upon buying the Celestial Voyage skins and completing the quests  you will also receive a Loading Frame, Pedestal, Music Theme and a new feature to Smite a background loading screen.
• Those who purchase every item in the event and complete every quest will also receive limited skin for Thoth.

More information regarding the new event such as quests and crafting can be found here.

Aside from the new features being included in the patch, here’s what Hi-Rez Studios has in store in terms of character balances including a couple of nerfs to their latest god Cernunnos:
