Splitgate 2 Gameplay Shows Off Factions
New gameplay footage from competitive portal-based shooter Splitgate 2 shows off the factions players can align with to determine their style.
The first-ever live gameplay stream of Splitgate 2 will be hosted on Twitch on Wednesday, August 14. The event will begin at 12pm PT on the official Splitgate Twitch channel, giving players their best look yet at Splitgate 2 multiplayer gameplay.
Splitgate 2 Live Gameplay Will Stream on August 14
The video announcing Splitgate 2's live gameplay stream showed snippets of gameplay itself, highlighting the various big improvements that the sequel will be implementing. The video also paid special attention to Splitgate 2's Factions, which are arguably shaking up the formula the most. But while Splitgate 2 will be introducing new features and concepts, it will still be a Splitgate game at heart. That means FPS fans can once again expect a game that echoes classic FPS experiences mixed with portal mechanics clearly inspired by Valve's Portal puzzle game franchise.
There are many fans who are excited to get their hands on Splitgate 2, and many more will be hyped for the game after its live stream on August 14. Unfortunately, Splitgate 2 is currently without a specific release date at the time of this writing. All fans know for sure is that Splitgate 2 is releasing in 2025. With the Splitgate 2 release date scheduled for next year, fans can expect information on the game to ramp up in the months ahead, especially as we get closer to launch. Hopefully, this ramp up includes a beta so anxious fans don't have to wait for launch to try the highly-anticipated shooter.
