While OG players will get rewarded, Smite cosmetics will not carry over into Smite 2

Smite 2 has just been announced at the Smite World Championships - and with it the news that all your old Smite 1 cosmetics will not be transfering over. It's not all bad news, as longtime players will be rewarded in other ways. The reason given for this lack of carry-over between the two games is the workload required. These things don't transition over cleanly between Unreal Engine 3 (which Smite 1 is built upon) and Smite 2's new Unreal Engine 5 engine. As it would apparently take two months for a single skin to get transfered over in the quality Titanforged wants, they've opted to start clean. OG players shouldn't get too upset quite yet though, as they'll still be rewarded in two major ways. The first are Legacy Gems. For every gem you've spent in Smite 1, you'll get a Legacy Gem in Smite 2. These Legacy gems can be spent on "the majortity" of Smite 2 cosmetics, but only on up to 50% of the price. So if a skin costs 100 gems, you'll only be able to spend 50 Legacy gems on it. Read more
