Releasing today on PC and May 16 for console, Patch 4.8 doesn’t just bring the happy painter to the arena, but an all new Bob Ross watercolor loading frame, a paint splatter jump plate, and a Ross-inspired loading screen.
Todd Harris, Co-Founder and COO of Hi-Rez Studios, said that Ross’ paintings and artistic style was (and still is) the creative force behind many artists and creative minds that work within the gaming industry, which led the team to strike the current partnership:
Players can purchase the Bob Ross Sylvanus Bundle for 700 gems from the SMITE in-game marketplace, or they can visit the Twitch.tv SMITE page and nab it for $9.99. Additionally, fans and players can watch the SMITE community and art teams vie for artistic supremacy by creating the penultimate Bob Ross-inspired painting. The event will air on the SMITE Twitch channel tomorrow, May 10 from 3 to 5 p.m. EDT.
From new skins, emotes, and avatars to brand new achievements, events, and balance changes, you can read the full SMITE 4.8 patch notes to learn more about what’s new in the Hi-Rez MOBA.
