As a long-time gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I’ve seen countless announcements for new games come and go. But when 1047 Games dropped the bombshell that they were working on a sequel to Splitgate, I couldn’t contain my excitement!


As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I’m always excited to learn about new and upcoming games, especially when they come from a studio that has already delivered a gem like Splitgate. The recent announcement by 1047, the developers behind the popular 2021 team shooter Splitgate, about their next project – Splitgate 2 – piqued my interest big time.

Upon its debut in 2021, Splitgate generated significant buzz due to its innovative blend of multiplayer shooter mechanics and physics elements, granting players the ability to quickly traverse map areas via “gates.” Numerous critics compared it to a fusion of Halo and Portal, an assessment that resonated with audiences, ultimately leading to over two million active players at its peak.

As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I’m thrilled to hear that Splitgate is reportedly working on a sequel, Splitgate 2. Having played and enjoyed the original game, I’m eager to see how they build upon its unique blend of portal-based multiplayer mayhem and Halo-inspired shooter mechanics. The fact that they’ve already dropped an announcement trailer is a promising sign that development is well underway.

Splitgate 2 Trailer

In the rapidly expanding market of free-to-play shooting games, where heavyweights such as Fortnite, Call of Duty: Warzone, and Apex Legends hold sway, it’s not easy for newcomers to make an impact. To differentiate themselves, these upstart titles often rely on distinctive features or visual styles. With Marvel Rivals and Splitgate 2 joining the fray soon, competition intensifies, but as a follow-up game, Splitgate 2 may gain an edge from its existing player base.

Online supporters remained devoted to 1047 and the initial Splitgate version, as evidenced by numerous comments expressing eagerness for the sequel. Some fans went so far as to anticipate that the second game would create an even greater impact than its predecessor. However, some fans raised concerns regarding the game’s durability due to 1047 abandoning Splitgate development just a year in. Yet, the team behind Splitgate 2 seems more expansive and appears to be preparing for a lengthier endeavor.

The trailer for Splitgate 2 doesn’t explicitly mention a specific release date yet, but it assures fans that the game will drop within the next year. It appears that this title will be available on multiple platforms, including PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One, by 2025. Fans can go ahead and add the game to their wishlists on each platform to receive notifications when it becomes officially available for purchase.
