Smite 2's Divine Legacy lets you bring over rewards from the first game, and even share them across platforms.

Currently, it's unknown exactly how SMITE 2's monetization will work. There are God skins that players can purchase ... can be used in creative ways to set up ganks and bring overwhelming numbers ...

Given the long-tail of additional content coming to the game, this open beta is the first full, free launch open to all, and a 1.0 launch is set ... and skins to be carried across to Smite 2.

These include in-game currency, access to all Smite 2 gods forever, skins, and other cosmetics. Smite 2 launches as a free-to-play game on Tuesday January 14, with the open beta coming to Steam.
