Developer Titan Forge Games and publisher Hi-Rez Studios have announced Smite 2, a sequel to Smite rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5, with closed alpha testing starting this spring. The game will feature a diverse roster of Gods, new gameplay mechanics, and exclusive content. Existing Smite skins will not directly transfer to Smite 2, but loyal players will be rewarded. The game is set to release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC in the future.
MetalCore is an online shooter that combines the open world of Destiny with the mech combat of Titanfall, featuring an NFT twist that allows players to own their vehicles and infantry characters. The game's prologue showcases impressive graphics and appealing mech gameplay, although the infantry gunplay feels underwhelming in comparison. The Alpha 3 playtest reveals some issues with difficulty spikes and lack of clear direction, but these can potentially be addressed through balance tweaks and clearer in-game instructions. With further polish and refinement, MetalCore has the potential to be a leading game in the Web3 gaming space.
