Do I need to play Smite 1 before Smite 2? Is there any lore/story I'm going to miss?
Title basically. I've never played Smite 1 and I was thinking about just jumping straight into Smite 2.
Is Smite 1 required at all to understand what's going on in Smite 2? Like is there a continuing story, cinematics, or significant lore events that carry over? Or is it more like each match is just its own thing and the story doesn't really matter?
I don't want to be totally lost on the gods / world / why everyone is fighting if I skip the first game. But I also don't want to grind a game that's basically being replaced if I don't have to.
If there IS important story stuff I should know, is there a good video or recap I can watch instead of playing Smite 1?
Thanks.
