1047 Games have now revealed Splitgate 2, an upcoming free to play shooter building on the basics of the original.

This time around it's coming with a three faction system that they said gives you the ability to choose and progress based on your preferred gameplay style or competitive strategies. There will be a large variety of arenas, weapons and modes keep things fresh and play alone or with friends.

“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."

Hopefully there will be some kind of Linux and Steam Deck support. The first game was a lot of fun, felt like classic Halo but with portals.

You can give it a follow on Steam.

The first game was quite good, though I'm convinced I spent most of the time competing against aimbots. Might just be my rubbish performance, though... ;-)

Yeah, the first one is surprisingly good considering it's free!
