Splitgate Announces Sequel to Critically Acclaimed Portal-Inspired Shooter

Splitgate 2: The "Halo Meets Portal" Sequel Arrives in 2025

1047 Games, the creators of the hit multiplayer FPS Splitgate, has unveiled its highly anticipated sequel: Splitgate 2. Launching in 2025, this free-to-play title promises a fresh take on the original's portal-powered arena combat, aiming for a decade or more of engaging gameplay.

A New Era of Portal Combat

Revealed via a cinematic trailer on July 18th, Splitgate 2 leverages Unreal Engine 5 to deliver a visually stunning and modernized experience. While retaining core elements of the original, the developers emphasize a completely revamped feel. Key improvements include a refined portal mechanic, designed to both challenge seasoned players and ensure accessibility for newcomers. The introduction of a faction system adds strategic depth without transforming it into a hero shooter.

Splitgate 2 will be available on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One.

Building on a Legacy

The original Splitgate, known for its unique blend of Halo-style gunplay and Portal's spatial manipulation, achieved remarkable success. After a successful early access period, the developers committed to creating a truly next-generation experience, leading to the development of Splitgate 2.

Three Factions, Endless Possibilities

Splitgate 2 introduces the Sol Splitgate League and three distinct factions: Aeros (emphasizing speed and mobility), Meridian (focusing on tactical time manipulation), and Sabrask (highlighting raw power). Each faction offers a unique playstyle, promising diverse strategic options.

While specific gameplay details remain under wraps until Gamescom 2024 (August 21-25), the developers assure fans that the trailer accurately reflects the game's quality, including dual wielding and impressive map design.

Dive Deeper into the Lore

Splitgate 2 will not feature a single-player campaign, but a companion mobile app will offer a rich lore experience through comics, character cards, and a faction selection quiz.

Get ready for the next evolution of portal combat. Splitgate 2 is set to redefine arena shooters in 2025.
