Hi-Rez Studios' SMITE 2 open beta received a patch on July 1, 2026, introducing Chronos, the God of Time, alongside numerous god stat adjustments. Earlier, on March 31, 2026, David Schulman from Hi-Rez Studios was slated to speak at the All Roads Lead to Atlanta (ARLA) Esports Showcase, participating in a panel on "The Journey of Hi-Rez Studios and the Game Development Scene of Georgia" at Georgia State University. This followed SMITE 2's continued open beta development as of December 29, 2025, where it added more characters and battle passes, despite an earlier round of layoffs and leadership changes at the studio. Previously, on June 3, 2025, Hi-Rez Studios conducted layoffs focused on "senior management positions," citing an excess of senior management relative to its size, less than six months after an estimated 70 employees were laid off.
