Shiva the Destroyer will join Smite in February as the first god of Season 9 as one of the most requested gods in our history.

The war for Cybertron has reached the “Battleground of the Gods.” Optimus Prime, noble leader of the Autobots and defender of freedom for all sentient life, leads the charge against the evil forces of the Decepticons, with Megatron himself and his least trusted soldier Starscream clashing in a storm of steel and Sparks!
