Splitgate 2

Independent developer 1047 Games has announced Splitgate 2, a new free-to-play multiplayer shooter sequel for multiple platforms.

Splitgate 2 is launching sometime in 2025 across Windows PC (via Steam and the Epic Games Store), Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, and PS5.

Alongside the news of the sequel is the reveal of a free Splitgate 2 Companion app, developed by Hologram Software and available now via the game’s official site.

“The original Splitgate’s development was ambitious but scrappy; the game was created from a dorm room, and the massive success and community it earned surpassed our wildest dreams,” said Ian Proulx, co-founder and CEO of 1047 Games. “This time around, Splitgate 2 has been designed from the ground up in Unreal Engine 5 to deliver the AAA FPS 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’s a rundown on the sequel, plus its reveal trailer:
