Splitgate 2 Officially Announced With 2025 Release Date

As a longtime fan of the original Splitgate, I can hardly contain my excitement for the announcement of Splitgate 2! The game that brought us Halo-meets-Portal mashups and captivated over 20 million players is now gearing up for an even bigger and better experience.


1047 Games made an announcement today, confirming that a sequel to Splitgate is in development and is anticipated to release as early as 2025. The creators are committed to raising the bar in the 4v4 shooter genre with this upcoming title, aiming to surpass the achievements of its predecessor.

The concept of Splitgate 2 remains similar to its 2021 predecessor: a fusion of Halo and Portal elements. Imagine Halo’s classic gameplay blended with Portal’s mind-bending puzzles. It may sound unusual, but the original game managed to attract over 20 million downloads! Nevertheless, Splitgate 2 offers fresh content to justify an update.

In an exciting update, Three distinct factions are introduced in Splitgate 2: Agile Aeros, Time-manipulating Meridian, and Powerful Sabrask. Players can now select a gameplay style that suits their preference based on the Steam description. Each faction comes with unique roles: Aeros for swiftness, Meridian for time manipulation, and Sabrask for brute force. Additionally, developers are adding new arenas, weapons, and modes to offer fresh gaming experiences.

Splitgate 2 Officially Announced With 2025 Release Date

Ian Proulx, co-founder and CEO of 1047 Games, shared that the initial development of Splitgate was bold yet resourceful. The game was born in a dorm room, and the immense popularity and dedicated fanbase it garnered took us by surprise, exceeding even our greatest expectations. In contrast, Splitgate 2 is being developed from scratch using Unreal Engine 5 to provide the high-quality AAA FPS experience our supporters have come to expect. The game’s signature action has been meticulously revamped by an elite team of industry veterans, handpicked for their exceptional talents.

“For competitive shooters, this is a groundbreaking advance. Newcomers to Splitgate will find it an ideal starting point, while our current community members will appreciate the significant enhancement.”
