Todd Harris, the co-founder of Hi-Rez Studios has revealed that Smite, the online multiplayer battle arena will be ready for Xbox One beta in early 2015, with a release in the first half of the year more than possible.

Speaking in a promo video for the company's appearance at PAX Australia last weekend, Harris said that the Georgia developer is "working hard" on getting its deity-based game ready for the console. "At this point we are excited we have a registered player count of over five million and also we're continuing to expand the game," said Harris. He later mentioned... "We're working really hard on a console version of Smite. In the beginning of the year we are going to start closed beta for the Xbox One version and we hope to release that in the first half of next year,"

In Smite, Battleground of the Gods, players are put in the role of gods who take on the characters of heroes based on various mythological gods, battling against rivals in set arenas. Its about time when the game makes the jump from PC to consoles.
