Splitgate News

[p]To the Splitgate community,[/p][p] [/p][p]We believe in Splitgate 2. This game means everything to us – it's been our life for almost 10 years, starting in our dorm room, and we're more committed than ever to delivering the incredible experience you deserve.[/p][p] [/p][p]We’ve heard your feedback and we agree with you: we launched too early. We had ambitious goals with Splitgate 2, and in our excitement to share it with you, we bit off more than we could chew. We rushed certain features, made some boneheaded mistakes, and most importantly – we didn't give you the polished, portal-filled mayhem you fell in love with.[/p][p] [/p][p]So we're going back to beta. We'll be heads down until early next year, rebuilding major parts of the game to capture the spirit of what made Splitgate special. That means reworking progression from the ground up, adding more portals to our maps, simplifying monetization, refocusing on classic game modes you've been asking for, and more, which we’ll share soon.[/p][p] [/p][p]Now more than ever, we need your help. We're returning not just to our roots in what we build, but in how we build it – with you. That means more playtests, more surveys, more listening, and truly being community first. Our goal is to combine the DNA of the first game with the best improvements from the second.[/p][p] [/p][p]Rebuilding the core experience isn't a quick fix; it's a long-term commitment. To give ourselves the time to build the Splitgate you deserve, we’ve made the incredibly difficult decision to reduce certain roles and shift our resources to focus on this rework. This is heartbreaking. These are our teammates and our friends, and they helped build what we have today. They're receiving severance and job placement support, and we're committed to doing everything we can to help them through this transition. We hope to bring them back when we can.[/p][p] [/p][p]In an effort to retain as many team members as possible, we're also going to be shutting down OG Splitgate servers in a month. While we'd love to keep servers online indefinitely, it's cost us hundreds of thousands of dollars over the past couple of years, and we have to prioritize our team. Like us, we know this game means a lot to so many of you, so we are exploring the possibility of supporting offline or peer-to-peer matches. And when we return, we plan to have a dedicated experience in Splitgate 2 that delivers on the promise of the original.[/p][p] [/p][p]In the meantime, Splitgate 2 will remain playable, and we’ll still be shipping Chapter 3, as well as fixes and high-priority changes. We hope you will continue to play and support the game. As always, please keep the feedback coming.[/p][p] [/p][p]We've faced a lot of dark days and have made many mistakes, but we've learned a lot and are as determined as ever to make Splitgate as great as possible. Splitgate has been our life for 10 years, and we wouldn't have it any other way. We've got work to do, but we aren't giving up.[/p][p] [/p][p]We love this game and we love this community too much to ever quit. So we won't.[/p][p][/p][p]See you in the arena,[/p][p]Ian and Nicholas[/p][p]

Hey, Splitfam, we told you that we still had another ace up our sleeve and we are so excited that we finally get to share it with you:

[h2]Splitgate: Battle Royale![/h2]

That’s right, in addition to our core Arena modes like Hotzone and Firecracker, our 24-Player Onslaught modes like Domination, and The Lab (our map creator), Splitgate 2 has a Battle Royale!
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

[h2]HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:[/h2]

• 15 teams of 4 drop in and battle it out to be the last team standing
  
• At the start, you and your team decide when to drop from an airship flying above Split Worlds, a gigantic map comprised of 5 unique biomes connected by huge World Portals
  
• You start with just a pistol and collect powerful loot from Chests, Air Drops, and Player Pods that get left behind after you take down an enemy player
  
• Collect Credits and spend them at Buy Stations for Power Weapons, Upgrades, and more
  
• Find Armor Plates and Armor Upgrades to stay in the fight longer
  
• Pick up Portal Gun Upgrades to use your portals to their full potential
  
• Chests refill with better loot each round, so be sure to keep checking them
  
• The Ring gradually forces teams together, closing Worlds from play and dealing damage to players who get caught in its path
  
• If you are killed you can be revived by teammates, and you also have a chance to respawn–but only if your team stays alive
  
• Lastly, watch out for Events that temporarily change gameplay, like the Portal EMP Event, which disables portals, or the Drop Frenzy Event, which increases Air Drop frequency
  

[h2]A FEW MORE TIPS:[/h2]

• At the beginning of the match when you drop from the ship, you will travel the direction you’re looking.
  
• As the match progresses, World Portals will close if they lead to a biome that is outside of The Ring.
  
• Remember to use your armor! We’ve found that players familiar with the Arena modes of Splitgate 2 sometimes don’t realize you need to press a button to armor up after you take damage (you start with full armor)
  
• After you’re killed, if you have teammates who are still alive, a countdown will appear for when you’ll respawn back into the action. You’ll respawn near the teammate you’re spectating (and will be blocked from respawning if the ally you are spectating is in combat)
  

[h2]SOME USEFUL KEY BINDS:[/h2]

• Macro Map: Tap M
  
• Scoreboard and Inventory: Hold Tab
  
• Apply Armor: Tap 4 to use your Armor Plates
  
• Player Pods: Hold F to Revive a teammate; Tap F to loot an enemy or to pick up and carry a teammate’s Player Pod
  

[h2]THE FIVE BIOMES OF SPLIT WORLDS[/h2]

• Drought – the desert biome
  
• Fracture – the floating asteroids biome
  
• Glacier – the snow biome
  
• Inferno – the volcano biome
  
• Sanctum – the central ruins
  
  • Sanctum is filled with special loot and connected to all the other worlds. In our lore, only the Sanctum is on Earth. The other worlds are spread across the galaxy, each connected by giant World Portals at the Sanctum, the hub of Split Worlds. Pockets of geothermal activity, mysterious gravitational patterns, and other emerging anomalies all seem to be connected to the presence of proelium, the mysterious substance that makes portal travel possible.
