Splitgate returns. The open beta of the sequel has launched

Splitgate is back — the second installment is available in open beta on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The developers from 1047 Games showcased the Unreal Engine 5 project, revealed a gameplay trailer, and shared initial details.

Splitgate 2 places a strong emphasis on factions with unique abilities. Aero features mobile fighters focused on kills, Meridian is oriented toward defense and support, including healing grenades and shields, and Sabrask can deploy walls and throw grenades.

The key portal mechanic remains — players can place entrances and exits on surfaces to set up ambushes or make quick retreats. At the start of the beta, 9 maps, 3 modes, powerful new weapons, The Lab level editor, and a beta version of the battle pass are available.

The full release is scheduled for summer. A major update featuring new modes and a mysterious “big new feature” is promised. The developers presented a roadmap and promise to support the game post-launch as well.
