A year ago RuneScape and SMITE united in one of the most successful Crossovers among both games’ communities. SMITE introduced RuneScape characters as fantastic God Skins carefully crafted in the exact art style from Jagex’s classic old-school MMORPG: Blessed Dragonhide Neith, Gnome Child Vamana, King Black Dragon Cerberus, and more.
Today RuneScape is back in SMITE by popular demand! The next phase in this epic raid has begun and players can now unlock three new high-fidelity Skins for famous SMITE Gods.
General Graardor Ymir
From the God Wars Dungeon to the Battleground of the Gods, mighty General Graardor is stepping up in his life quest against deities! Couldn’t grind him for the Bandos chestplate in RuneScape? Have your revenge in SMITE fighting General Graardor or playing him with this new Ymir Skin.
Sandwich Lady Amaterasu
Whether you’re more of a Triangle Sandwich or a Stale Baguette player, Ardougne’s Sandwich Lady Bakery will never close its doors on you in SMITE! That’s every RuneScape fan’s dream come true: you can now play from the unique perspective of the generous Sandwich Lady. Kindly offer a selection of free snacks to enemy Gods... and if they don’t pick right you get to bash them mercilessly with your lethal baguette! And no, you do not get to teleport anyone away.
Black Plate Bellona
Why choose between protection and style when you can have both? A valorous warrior in black gold-trimmed armor, Black Plate Bellona is ready to grind her way to glory! She is the free bonus reward granted after purchasing any three RuneScape Skins or cosmetic bundles as of today.
RuneScape Event, Chest, and Capes
The fantasy worlds of SMITE and RuneScape always felt like a natural match. Both these competitive multiplayer titles are full of nostalgic vibes with a tone ranging from epic to goofy. What’s more, each game has long been cherishing an engaged community of fans avid for memes.
“RuneScape is among the first games I ever played,” says SMITE Community Specialist Harrison Hopkins. “I spent hundreds of hours with my family's land-line phone talking to my cousin and fishing in Catherby. When we were given the chance to work with Jagex in the RuneScape universe, I dove into every discussion and realized that the Titan Forge team is full of RuneScape fans from all across the last 20 years! Every detail of this crossover is a labor of love and I hope to continue working with the folks at Jagex in the future.”
On the RuneScape Event page in SMITE, General Graardor and the Sandwich Lady are available in Direct Purchase along with a new cosmetic bundle containing a themed Jump Stamp, a Global Emote, and an Avatar. At a better price, players can also roll the RuneScape Chest, out today and containing all previous and new RuneScape Skins and cosmetics.
Today’s three newcomers from Gielinor are compatible with the famous Skill Capes. Straight from RuneScape, 69 Capes ranging from the Master Herblore Cape to the Master Slayer Cape were released last year to the community’s delight. All Capes can be equipped to any RuneScape Skin in SMITE including the new General Graardor, Sandwich Lady, and Black Plate. Players can base their pick either on looks or on how well each Cape will boast of their overdedication, as some of them require a gigantic amount of grinding to unlock.
Both the Jagex and Titan Forge teams are eager to see players jump into SMITE and enjoy the new RuneScape content live now!
