First Korean Goddess Joins the Fight in SMITE 2

ATLANTA, GA – The Korean Pantheon has officially joined the SMITE universe for the first time. Princess Bari, The Divine Mudang, is live now in SMITE 2 alongside a new teaser trailer.

The elegant Princess Bari is just the biggest highlight of another packed Open Beta Update from Titan Forge Games, featuring major improvements to Conquest, the long-awaited HUD Editor, Music Packs, and a host of exciting skins. This release comes just two weeks after Open Beta 4.

The very first Korean goddess to grace SMITE 2, Princess Bari arrives steeped in mythic shamanic traditions – her role as a Mudang bridging the realms of the living and the spirits. In ancient lore, Bari overcame her upbringing as an unwanted daughter to save countless souls through divine rituals and blessings; now, she channels that heritage on the Battleground.

• Dancing Through Mystic Surge
  Time your combos and accumulate Spirit to trigger additional, free casts of your abilities. Embrace the cadence of her hybrid-scaling kit, weaving spells in a graceful dance that’s as mesmerizing as it is devastating.
   

• Sacred Bells & Shamanic Grace
  Drawn from Korean shamanic rites, Bari’s bells become a battlefield centerpiece—lob them, then send them flying through foes via Reverent Steps or Warding Gust for bursts of damage, crowd control, and unmatched mobility.
   

• Ultimate – Spirit’s Cadence
  In her most powerful ritual, Bari performs a triple-pulse dance that slows enemies and grants allies Guardian Spirits, negating lethal damage for an invaluable 1.5 seconds. This momentous display of shamanic mastery also activates a 10-second Mystic Surge, allowing a rapid volley of spells that can turn the tide of any fight.
   

From swift pokes and bell-driven setups to miraculous rescues from the brink of death, Princess Bari packs damage, mobility, and team support all in one elegantly flowing, Korean-inspired ranged magical threat.

A top community request is finally here. Players on all platforms can now customize their in-game interface – adjusting size, opacity, and positioning of HUD elements. Personalize your battlefield view for optimal clarity.

Enhance every clash with Music Packs imported from SMITE 1’s fan-favorite soundtracks. Unlocked through the Classic Music Chest, these 68 custom tunes let you set the perfect tone, whether you’re pushing lanes or holding off a final Titan assault.

The OB5 update refines Conquest from lane to objective:

• Fairer Gold Pacing: Expect a Tier 3 item completion roughly every five minutes, preventing runaway snowballing.

• Brute Minions: Periodic “brutes” replace select melee minions at 7, 15, and 23 minutes, providing greater structure-sieging power.

• Consistent Minion Interactions: Adjusted targeting and damage ensure minions don’t cascade out of control, while Fire Minion bonus gold is reverted for more predictable gameplay flow.

• Structure Improvements: Tower and Phoenix penetration are increased, a minion counter under each structure’s health bar aids in push coordination, and the Runic Bomb and Obsidian Dagger are clearer and deadlier tools in top-level strategies.

• Silent Wish Aladdin (new SMITE 2 skin, in the Silent Strike Chest)

• Steel Samurai Susano & Pool Party Jing Wei (Classic Skins, updated from SMITE 1)

• Vizier Eggbert Beakington Ra, Court Archer Cupid, Court Charmer Aphrodite (Cross-Gen Skins, available in both SMITE 1 and 2)

• Supernova Pele (Divine Legacy Skin, unlocked via SMITE 1)

These new and returning favorites celebrate SMITE’s legacy while adding fresh style.

With Princess Bari’s enchanting new gameplay, the HUD Editor granting total UI freedom, Music Packs reviving fan-favorite tracks, and a more strategic Conquest than ever, the OB5 Update sets the stage for an unforgettable era in SMITE 2.
