Hand of the Gods closed beta starts on Xbox One, PS4

Hand of the Gods, Hi-Rez’s turn-based strategy game, has now entered a closed beta phase on Xbox One and PS4.

“Starting today, PlayStation Plus and Xbox Live Gold members can receive the Hand of the Gods promotional bundle for free,” Hi-Rez said in a recent statement. “Each bundle features a unique Leader Skin and also includes an Exclusive Card Back and Player Icon. In addition, the bundle includes five Core Packs to give new players a jump start in building their decks.”

Hi-Rez has also provided Stevivor with 100 Guan Yu cards to give away to lucky readers. Head here to collect one.

Hand of the Gods blends the deep customisation and planning of a collectible card game with the strategic play of a board game and delivers a unique experience to console audiences,” Hi-Rez said of its title. “Players build a deck from a large variety of cards to their tastes and then pit their decks against an opponent in one-on-one battle. Hand of the Gods features seven unique Leaders, including the brand-new Hindu pantheon Leader, Ganesha, and beautiful cards that come to life on the battlefield once played.”

The game was originally titled SMITE Tactics.

Have fun if you’re taking part in the closed beta!
