When Did SMITE Come Out? Answered

SMITE is one of (now many) games that Hi-Rez Studios are maintaining at the moment (Divine Knockout, Paladins, Rogue Company, Realm Royale, etc.) and was a groundbreaking MOBA experience when it was first released.

To many, it looked like League of Legends from a third-person perspective (like in World of Warcraft PvP, for example), and the game was hailed to be the League of Legends killer, but for some reason, the momentum stopped. While the popularity of SMITE is slowly fading away, we commend the mythological concept Hi-Rez had for it and feel bad for the missed potential. Did you know that SMITE held the world record for the highest esports prize pool at one point?
