Splitgate 2 set to re-launch as SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded

Developer 1047 Games announced that Splitgate 2 is set to re-emerge and re-launch as SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded on December 17^th. It will be available free-to-play on PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4. After a lackluster launch back in June, Splitgate 2 “unlaunched” into a beta phase, and appears it is now ready to reappear with some major changes led by community feedback, according to 1047 Games:

“Splitgate has always been a love letter to the arena shooters we grew up playing,” said 1047 Games Design Director Josh Watson. “We’ve been hard at work rebuilding the game from the ground up, taking the best of Splitgate 1 and Splitgate 2, removing what didn’t work, and refining what did.”

Most notably, SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded removes factions and character abilities, getting back to the basics that made the first game so enjoyable. 1047 has worked on refining everything from core combat to the user interface as well. You can check out the big ticket changes and a new trailer below.

• Removed Factions, Abilities, and select equipment to refocus on classic arena combat
• Rebuilt progression from the ground up and overhauled the Ranked system
• Introduced 5 new, and 6 fully-reworked maps, 3 new Primary Weapons and 1 new Power Weapon: the Railgun
• New Arena modes, playlist selection, and a true Classic Arena mode with even starts and powerups
• Reduced store prices, simplified the Battle Pass, and improved overall cosmetic quality
