"Splitgate 2 Unveiled: Halo Meets Portal Sequel"

1047 Games, creators of Splitgate, returns with a sequel to their acclaimed 2019 multiplayer FPS. Discover what the Sol Splitgate League has in store for players.

Splitgate 2 Arrives in 2025

Evolving the Formula

On July 18, 1047 Games unveiled Splitgate 2 through a cinematic trailer, marking the next chapter for their groundbreaking free-to-play shooter that captivated players worldwide.

CEO Ian Proulx emphasized their vision: "We're building a game designed to thrive for years." While honoring classic arena shooter roots, the team recognized that "lasting success requires redefining core gameplay systems."

Hilary Goldstein, Marketing Lead, explained their portal redesign: "We've refined portal mechanics to reward mastery while keeping them accessible for all skill levels."

While gameplay details remain guarded, 1047 Games confirms Splitgate 2 runs on Unreal Engine 5, maintains free-to-play access, and introduces faction dynamics. As Goldstein notes, "This sequel will feel distinctly new while preserving what fans love."

The game launches across PC and consoles in 2025.

Dubbed "Halo meets Portal," Splitgate revolutionized PvP shooters with its portal-based traversal system.

The original's meteoric rise began with a 600,000-download demo month, eventually necessitating server upgrades. After years refining through early access, 1047 shifted focus in 2022 to create "the definitive Splitgate experience" fans awaited.

Expanded Universe

The trailer reveals the Sol Splitgate League's three distinctive factions, each offering specialized combat approaches.

Aeros favors mobility, Meridian excels in tactical time manipulation, while Sabrask delivers brute-force firepower. Notably, 1047 clarifies this isn't transitioning into hero shooter territory.

Gamescom 2024 will showcase actual gameplay, though developers confirm trailer elements reflect in-game features: "Those are authentic maps, weapons, and yes - dual-wielding makes its triumphant return."
