Get ready to dominate the Pantheon, console players. Georgia-based developer Hi-Rez Studios announced today that their strategic CCG, Hand of the Gods: SMITE Tactics, is entering closed beta on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Gamers who are Xbox Live Gold and PlayStation Plus members will have free access to the closed beta starting today.
But that’s not all. Those players will also receive with the beta a free Hand of the Gods promotional bundle that includes:
- Five Core Packs
- A special Leader skin (PS4 players will receive Galactic Invader Ah Puch, while Xbox One players will receive Xeus Zeus)
- A beta-exclusive Labyrinth card back
- A unique Tree icon
If you are currently not a member of Xbox Live Gold or PlayStation Plus, don’t worry: you can still join the closed console beta. All you have to do is purchase either HotG‘s Founder’s Pack ($19.99) or the Venus Competitor’s Pack ($19.99). Both collections provide unique incentives, such as card packs, icons, and even bonus SMITE (MOBA) content.
Hand of the Gods: SMITE Tactics is a collectible card game that melds the world of SMITE with strategic deck building and tactical turn-based combat. The game first released on the PC and has been refined over months of closed- and open-beta testing on the platform.
