What is the release date for Smite Update 9.4?

The fourth major update for Smite in Season 9 will arrive in 9.4. Here you can look forward to adding a new god to the ever-growing list, the Jade Emperor, along with a host of item and god changes. This update is called a nerf update because it doesn’t include any major buffs or increases to any of the items or gods. What is the release date for Smite Update 9.4?

It has been announced that Smites 9.4 updates will be released on April 19th. This morning, Tuesday, the servers will be down for several hours for maintenance, and then things should be up and running again after a few hours.

When the servers return, the Jade Emperor will be available, and you can use it in any game mode in-game, unranked. We recommend trying it out in the casual Conquest maps to give the Jade Emperor a chance to stretch his legs. He will be a mage and a ranged DPS class, using his abilities mainly during a fight. You won’t want to use it in the jungle.

You should also carefully examine the official Smite patch notes for Update 9.4. Several items and gods have been nerfed with their damage reduced in order to curb the growing damage cap in the game. This is the first major nerf for Season 9 at this number of items, but we can expect more changes in the future, particularly buffs to offset these performance reductions.

Be sure to update Smite on the morning of April 19th so you can jump into Update 9.4.
