Evaluation

Hand of the Gods: SMITE Tactics is no longer available for purchase on Steam. The game has no active purchase options, meaning it has been removed from the storefront. The game launched on February 20, 2018, and the developer news record — which scans 25 posts spanning from late 2017 through early 2018 — shows that all developer communication stopped shortly after launch, with the most recent post dated March 2, 2018 (a bug fix and balance patch). There are no posts from the developer indicating plans to continue development, and no further updates of any kind were recorded after that date. The game appears to have been quietly wound down, consistent with a free-to-play title from Hi-Rez Studios that did not achieve long-term commercial viability. Because it can no longer be purchased, it is considered delisted.

Evidence

Patch 1.2 released on March 2, 2018, containing bug fixes and balance changes. This is the last recorded developer communication for the game.
