Splitgate 2 Officially Announced With 2025 Release Date

Splitgate 2 is confirmed, 1047 Games announced today, and it's coming as soon as 2025. Developers promise this new 4v4 shooter will "redefine what it takes to be #1," improving upon the original title.

Splitgate 2 mirrors its 2021 predecessor's premise, which is basically: Halo, but throw it in a blender with Portal. (It sounds like a weird combo, but it works - well enough for the original to amass over 20 million downloads!) However, the sequel does have some pretty exciting new content to make it worth the while.

Splitgate 2 adds three factions, giving players the opportunity to choose the gameplay style that appeals to them. According to the game's Steam description, you'll be able to take on the role of the agile Aeros, the time-manipulating Meridian, the Sabrask, who boasts "raw power."  Developers will also add new arenas, weapons, and modes, introducing all new ways to play.

“The original Splitgate’s development was ambitious but scrappy; the game was created from a dorm room, and the massive success and community it earned surpassed our wildest dreams,” said Ian Proulx, co-founder and CEO of 1047 Games. “This time around, Splitgate 2 has been designed from the ground up in Unreal Engine 5 to deliver the AAA FPS experience our fans deserve, with the series' signature action completely overhauled by an all-star team composed of the most talented individuals in the industry.

"This is a revolutionary step forward for competitive shooters. It's the perfect entry point for players new to the world of Splitgate and a comprehensive upgrade worthy of our existing community."
