Open Beta 10 - God of Music Update Notes

The headline for Open Beta 10 is Apollo finally joins SMITE 2!

The God of Music unleashes high-speed ranged basics that build Audacity, a crowd-stopping Serenade, the ally-buffing dash The Moves, and his iconic global ultimate Across the Sky, now roomy enough for two teammates.

His Aspect, Aspect of Harmony, launches on May 23 bringing a new support focused playstyle that will be music to your ears.

Sobek surfaces with the Land Shark Premium Traveler Page.

Buying the page unlocks the classic Land Shark skin immediately, then lets you earn three colour-shifting Prisms (Orca Black, Goldfish Orange, and Tubular Teal) plus the Testing the Waters jump stamp and Deepbite badge for extra bite on the battleground.

Athena fans can polish their shields with Mystic Guardian Prisms.

Pick up Starflare, Nightshade, Lunarveil, and the bundle-exclusive Stardust individually for Diamonds or grab all four in a discounted bundle to turn every defense into a light show.

A new god to master, jaw-dropping Sobek swag, and sparkling Athena effects make the God of Music update a must-play.

Queue up, claim your cosmetics, and take Apollo Across the Sky!
