These weekends are brief, but they're expanding, and you might wonder when the next one is and how long you have to wait. Thankfully for you, we have a countdown. The closed alpha tests will continue throughout 2024, leading up to the release of the\u00a0SMITE 2\u00a0closed beta and then open beta, which every player can join for free. This guide covers the countdown to the next\u00a0SMITE 2\u00a0closed alpha weekend to ensure you can enter. Countdown timer to the next SMITE 2 closed alpha weekend The next closed alpha weekend for SMITE 2 is going to take place from May 30 to June 1, starting at 7pm CT. There's a good chance the servers might go live earlier than the team has shared, but we won't know until we get to May 30. As you might expect from any closed alpha, temper your expectations surrounding\u00a0SMITE 2\u00a0and the game's current state.\u00a0SMITE 2\u00a0is going to have a lot of rough edges during these testing periods, but they provide the Hi-Rez development team with crucial information on how to properly balance and change the game before they're ready to share it with everyone.\u00a0 According to the devs, players should expect items to feel broken, gods to feel too powerful, and specific builds that will not work. The team is primarily interested in getting the game's feel to closely align with the first\u00a0SMITE\u00a0before fine-tuning the more intricate details of item and god-balancing. Those finishing touches will happen when the game enters the closed and open beta releases. For anyone who wishes to join the\u00a0SMITE 2\u00a0closed alpha, purchase a\u00a0SMITE 2\u00a0founder's pack. You can buy any edition of the founder's pack to join the closed alpha and have a guaranteed spot to participate in these activities. The Hi-Rez team might get you a code outside of getting a founder's pack, but it's not guaranteed.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Will-Skins-transfer-to-Smite-2-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1240329"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2139"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1240329"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1240329\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1271025,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1240329\/revisions\/1271025"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1092503"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1240329"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1240329"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1240329"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1240329"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1240329"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1240329"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1240329"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

These weekends are brief, but they're expanding, and you might wonder when the next one is and how long you have to wait. Thankfully for you, we have a countdown. The closed alpha tests will continue throughout 2024, leading up to the release of the\u00a0SMITE 2\u00a0closed beta and then open beta, which every player can join for free. This guide covers the countdown to the next\u00a0SMITE 2\u00a0closed alpha weekend to ensure you can enter. Countdown timer to the next SMITE 2 closed alpha weekend The next closed alpha weekend for SMITE 2 is going to take place from May 30 to June 1, starting at 7pm CT. There's a good chance the servers might go live earlier than the team has shared, but we won't know until we get to May 30. As you might expect from any closed alpha, temper your expectations surrounding\u00a0SMITE 2\u00a0and the game's current state.\u00a0SMITE 2\u00a0is going to have a lot of rough edges during these testing periods, but they provide the Hi-Rez development team with crucial information on how to properly balance and change the game before they're ready to share it with everyone.\u00a0 According to the devs, players should expect items to feel broken, gods to feel too powerful, and specific builds that will not work. The team is primarily interested in getting the game's feel to closely align with the first\u00a0SMITE\u00a0before fine-tuning the more intricate details of item and god-balancing. Those finishing touches will happen when the game enters the closed and open beta releases. For anyone who wishes to join the\u00a0SMITE 2\u00a0closed alpha, purchase a\u00a0SMITE 2\u00a0founder's pack. You can buy any edition of the founder's pack to join the closed alpha and have a guaranteed spot to participate in these activities. The Hi-Rez team might get you a code outside of getting a founder's pack, but it's not guaranteed.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Will-Skins-transfer-to-Smite-2-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1240329"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2139"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1240329"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1240329\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1271025,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1240329\/revisions\/1271025"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1092503"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1240329"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1240329"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1240329"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1240329"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1240329"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1240329"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1240329"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
