Splitgate 2 Announcement

A Familiar Feeling, Reimagined

Check out the cinematic announcement trailer:

Built with Unreal Engine 5, Splitgate 2 will remain free-to-play, but promises a significantly enhanced experience. While retaining core elements, the developers aim for a completely fresh feel. CEO Ian Proulx emphasizes a design focused on long-term playability, stating a goal of a "decade or more" lifespan. This involved creating tools for a more satisfying and engaging gameplay loop, with a redesigned portal system that caters to both casual and expert players.

The game will be available on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. A key addition is a faction system, adding strategic depth without transforming it into a hero shooter.

New Factions, Maps, and More

The Sol Splitgate League takes center stage, introducing three distinct factions: Aeros (dashing mobility), Meridian (tactical time manipulation), and Sabrask (brute force). Each faction offers a unique playstyle.

No Single-Player, But Rich Lore
