SMITE 2 will put Hachiman at the center of its next Race to Radiant event, giving players from September 8 through September 15, 2026, to play matches, reach Rank 10 and compete for profile rewards.

The event follows the announcement of Hachiman as SMITE 2’s next Classic God. Titan Forge Games outlined the event schedule and reward structure in the game’s event announcement.

Hachiman’s Race to Radiant Rewards

Reaching Rank 10 is enough to earn a special badge, but leaderboard placement adds more rewards. The tiers are distributed as follows:

Top 500 players: A Special Tracker that permanently displays their exact Race Rank number.
Top 200 players: Hachiman’s exclusive Radiant Mastery Badge.
Top 100 players: A special Rank 10 Mastery Emblem for their profile.
All players who reach Rank 10: A special Badge, regardless of leaderboard position.

The race will end on September 15, with rewards scheduled for distribution on September 16, 2026. That gives players a short window to build Hachiman’s mastery before the leaderboard closes.
