SMITE Version 3.4.3299

= 3.4 - Winter's Bite | March 15, 2016 =

“''We have a lot on the table for Patch 3.4, Winter's Bite! First, our newest Goddess joins the ranks; hailing from the Norse Pantheon Skadi and her companion Kaldr are ready to join the Battleground of the Gods. In addition to a new god, the 2016 Season Ticket launches, boasting a large number of new skins and rewards to be earned through playing SMITE and watching SMITE eSports!''

''This patch also brings some adjustments to a few gods who were under-performing as well as addresses some of the concerns around Solo laners in Conquest gaining too much experience. Additionally, a few items are seeing tweaks to better solidify their identity and their strengths. We are excited for everyone to get their hands on the new adjustments and see how they play out!''”
