Summary
- Splitgate 2 announced for 2025 by 1047 Games.
- Splitgate 2 seems to incorporate hero shooter elements.
- The game will be available for PC, Xbox, and PlayStation in 2025.
The developers of the 2021 team shooter Splitgate, 1047 , recently unveiled its next planned game with Splitgate 2, set to release sometime in 2025. The original Splitgate team ended active development for the game in 2022, citing that the studio wanted to move on to its successor as soon as possible.
When it launched in 2021, Splitgate immediately made waves for its unique combination of multiplayer shooter dynamics with a physics-based twist that allowed players to travel across sections of the map instantly using "gates." Many described the game as a mix of Halo and Portal, which proved to be a successful combination, as Splitgate saw over two million active players at its height.
Now, 1047 is reportedly moving ahead full steam on an official sequel, Splitgate 2, as it revealed on the game's official Twitter account alongside an announcement trailer. The trailer is purely cinematic and does not show any actual gameplay, but it appears to be carrying over many of the same artistic and gameplay elements from the first game.
Splitgate 2 Trailer
In the ever-growing free-to-play shooter scene, which is dominated by the likes of Fortnite, Call of Duty: Warzone, and Apex Legends, it can be tricky for new titles to really stand out, often relying on unique gimmicks or art styles to set themselves apart. With even more on the way in the coming months, like the upcoming hero shooter Marvel Rivals, Splitgate 2 faces some steep competition, but as a sequel, it will likely benefit from a preexisting player base.
Fans online reaffirmed their loyalty to 1047 and the original Splitgate, with many stating their excitement about the upcoming sequel and even predicting that it will make an even bigger wave than the first game. Others expressed concerns about the game's longevity, since 1047 quit development on Splitgate only a year into its life cycle, though the team for Splitgate 2 is seemingly much larger and appears to be gearing up for a more long-term project.
The trailer does not confirm an actual release date for Splitgate 2, but it does promise to launch within the next year and will seemingly be a multiplatform title, set to be out on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One by 2025. Fans can add the game to their wishlist on each respective platform now to be notified when the game officially releases.
