Splitgate 2 announced for PS5, Xbox Series, PS4, Xbox One, and PC
1047 Games has announced free-to-play multiplayer first-person shooter Splitgate 2, a sequel to the 2021-released Splitgate. It will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store in 2025.
“The original Splitgate‘s development was ambitious but scrappy,” said 1047 Games co-founder and CEO Ian Proulx in a press release. “The game was created from a dorm room, and the massive success and community it earned surpassed our wildest dreams. This time around, Splitgate 2 has been designed from the ground up in Unreal Engine 5 to deliver the AAA first-person shooter experience our fans deserve, with the series’ signature action completely overhauled by an all-star team composed of the most talented individuals in the industry. This is a revolutionary step forward for competitive shooters. It’s the perfect entry point for players new to the world of Splitgate and a comprehensive upgrade worthy of our existing community.”
Here is an overview of the game, via 1047 Games:
