Splitgate News

To the Splitgate community,

No one is as disappointed as we are that we have had to delay Splitgate’s launch. The Splitgate development team has been working nonstop, around the clock since the open beta to implement improvements, take your feedback, and fix bugs. We were hopeful that we would meet the deadline. We deeply apologize for the short notice on the delay.

As gamers ourselves, we know how frustrating that is, especially for people who rearranged their schedules in order to play this morning. We also know how frustrating it is to play games that are buggy or release too soon. We really thought we were good to go, but our final build in the early morning hours had a few a problems that needed to be addressed in order for us to release at a quality that we are proud of. So again, we deeply apologize and hope you’ll stick with us. We hope it will be worth the wait! See you in the arena Friday the 24th.

SAN FRANCISCO – May 3, 2019 – Today 1047 Games announced that Splitgate: Arena Warfare, the fast-paced, sci-fi, competitive multiplayer first-person shooter that uses player-controlled portals to create a new dimension of arena combat, will launch for free on Windows PC via Steam on May 22, 2019.

“As Splitgate evolved, we realized that players would be best served with a free-to-play model. We want to ensure that everyone who wants to play has the opportunity to do so,” said Ian Proulx, CEO and co-founder of 1047 Games. “Rest assured this will not detract from its hyper-competitive design – all items for sale in the game are purely cosmetic.”

Splitgate: Arena Warfare evokes your favorite memories of the most-revered shooters of the past two decades, embracing the classic and familiar feel of arena multiplayer with a multi-directional twist. Splitgate: Arena Warfare's world-bending portal mechanic lets players instantly create and link gateways around the map, encouraging and rewarding constant jetpack-boosted movement, strategic flanking and ambushes, and action that truly embraces all 360 degrees. It also looks really cool.

Players can try Splitgate: Arena Warfare's free beta now on Steam. The beta, which runs from May 3-6, features a variety of ranked, unranked and custom games. The game will launch with a vast array of customizable options, including weapon and armor skins, jetpacks, portal guns and more; a select amount of these items will be available in the open beta. Ranks and progression will reset after the beta.
