More gods will be added in ffuture weekends and there are a few training resources available to prep players into this sequel including tips, a breakdown of Conquest mode, and a what to expect in the Alpha weekend vid.
So if you're interested in trying out an early version of the game, go ahead and register for the Alpha. If you want to guarantee that access then the Founders version is your ticket in. SMITE 2 will eventually release on PC, PS5, and Xbox.
