Hi-Rez Shelves Smite Rivals Indefinitely
Smite Rivals for an indefinite period. Instead, the team is shifting their focus to continuing to the as of yet unreleased CCG strategy game Smite Tactics—you can for CBT by visiting the game's website.
I know fans are looking forward to it, but we have decided to put @SmiteRivals on hold for the time being. Full statement below. pic.twitter.com/my3uwE10y1

It seems to me that Hi-Rez's plan was to throw all their ideas at a wall and see what stuck. And Smite Rivals wasn't sticky enough. Whether or not we see it again is questionable, but I'm going to throw my chips in the "No" department.
