Splitgate, the popular first-person shooter game that introduced portal jumping mechanics to players, is making a comeback with Splitgate 2. Developed by 1047 Games, Splitgate 2 aims to build upon the success of its predecessor by refining the gameplay and introducing new features.
Similar to the original game, Splitgate 2 will be a free-to-play 4v4 shooter where players use a combination of portal guns and traditional firearms to engage in fast-paced combat. The game is being developed in Unreal Engine 5 and will focus on factions, allowing players to choose from three different groups: the agile Aeros, the time-manipulating Meridian, or the trigger-happy Sabrask. This new feature will give players the opportunity to tailor their gameplay experience to their preferred style or strategy.
In addition to the new faction system, Splitgate 2 will also introduce new objective-based game modes, new arenas, and upgradable weapons to keep players engaged. The game promises to offer a fresh and exciting experience for both new and returning players.
To further immerse players in the Splitgate universe, a companion app for Splitgate 2 has been released. This app allows players to explore the game’s world, collect in-game rewards, participate in quizzes, and read a new comic series titled Splitgate: The Games We Play. The comic series will delve into the backstories of the characters featured in the game’s announcement trailer, with new issues released monthly.
Splitgate 2 is set to launch in 2025 on multiple platforms including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Players can get a sneak peek at the game through the first batch of screenshots that have been released.
With its innovative gameplay mechanics, new features, and immersive companion app, Splitgate 2 is shaping up to be an exciting addition to the world of first-person shooters. Fans of the original game and newcomers alike can look forward to experiencing the thrill of portal jumping once again in Splitgate 2.
