And he shall smite thy console exclusivity.

Smite, a multiplayer online battle arena strategy game, is coming to PlayStation 4, Sony announced today. Smite was previously available on Xbox One and PC. While not as popular as top MOBAs League of Legends (which leads the genres — it earned $1.6 billion in 2015) and Dota 2, Smite still has over 14 million players. The whole MOBA genre has grown in popularity largely thanks to its appeal in esports, an industry worth $748 million.
