The Official SMITE Magazine Issue 8 | Page 3

OPINION Welcome to Issue #8 of the SMITE Community Magazine! This month a lot has been happening from the release of Ao Kuang to the EU and NA Regionals. Unfortunately, being a monthly release, we’ve not been able to cover EVERYTHING, but should hopefully have some good announcements! Next issue, we’re going to be having TWO editions of the SMITE Community Magazine. The first will be our usual release with the variety of different content that you are all accustom to. The second will be a special eSports-focused one to celebrate the upcoming SMITE World Championships! This will contain everything from a basic guide to the SWC to interviews with pro players and figures on the scene! If you’ve got any ideas that you’d like to see in this special edition, feel free to either e-mail or tweet us. On to content and we see the return of SMITE 101 after it’s short hiatus last issue along with all the usuals such as Cosplay Corner (this issue featuring guest writer Lilmamacita), In Theory, God Re-envisioned, and the return of the hit fiction series Broken Time. We’ve also got an interview with Thomas Holt, Art Director at Hi-Rez Studios, a run-down of Bakasura’s lore, and a close look at Nox after a month of play. If that wasn’t enough, we look at Chang’e and her anti-healing abilities, and we introduce a new series for looking at game modes! Along with this, we look at the jungle buff camps and how they’re utilised in different game modes. So what are you waiting for? Get stuck in!
