Splitgate 2 has resurfaced at last with a new cinematic trailer and a PC and console launch planned for 2025. We spoke to creator Ian Proulx about his hopes that second time around, he can build the number one shooter in the world.
“Splitgate was much more of an arena shooter, fast-paced, very circular motion,” Proulx adds. “With this next game, it’s much more of a class-based shooter or arcade shooter where it’s still fast-paced. It’s still about shooting people and portaling, but it’s a little bit more thoughtful, it’s a little bit more strategic. The angles are a little bit more intentional and less chaotic.”
Oh, cool. So they’re making it worse. Bad enough that they patched LAN out of the first game, they’re also patching out the gameplay reason I’d want to play it.

Why does this always happen? “We really struck gold here. Let’s completely change it, and make it like everything else.”
The entire reason I loved Splitgate was the simplicity and lack of classes…

That’s true but the simplicity didn’t help it maintain it’s player base so makes sense why they are going in this direction.
