Splitgate 2 Returns: Bigger Team, Bigger Dreams

1047 Games has officially re-announced Splitgate 2, a sequel to their popular multiplayer shooter, aiming for a 2025 release on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. The original Splitgate, known for its unique combination of Halo and Portal mechanics, saw unexpected success with up to two million daily active users, leading to significant growth for the development team. Splitgate 2 will remain a free-to-play first-person shooter with new features including three factions and improved map designs, making it more strategic than its predecessor. The game promises to maintain the core portal mechanics while enhancing overall gameplay experience.

Splitgate 2 introduces three different factions, each with tailored gameplay styles or strategies, and improved map designs based on player feedback and professional input. These changes aim to make the game more strategic and enhance the overall player experience.

The original Splitgate launched in 2021, quickly gaining a large player base that the small indie team at 1047 Games struggled to manage initially. The financial success of the game enabled them to secure $100 million in additional funding, which has been invested in developing Splitgate 2. The sequel maintains the beloved portal mechanics, and it will aim to compete with major shooters like Call of Duty and Apex Legends.
