Splitgate 2 is officially out of open beta for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5, and PC, but 1047 Games promised a big surprise at Summer Game Fest. That turned out to be Splitgate: Battle Royale, which, as you would imagine, is a battle royale title with portals. Check out the reveal trailer below.
The premise sees 15 teams of four players dropping onto the map and fighting for supremacy. You’ll start with a pistol and can obtain new weapons and armor from chests, airdrops or upon slaying enemy players. Alternatively, there are Credits to purchase Power Weapons and upgrades (including buffs to armor and your Portal Gun). The twist is that the map, Split Worlds, is comprised of five biomes accessed by World Portals, including a volcano, desert, and, of all things, floating asteroids.
Random events can also occur, including one that disables all portals. You can revive fallen allies, but if the team is wiped, it’s game over. Time will tell how Splitgate: Battle Royale resonates with players, especially in a market dominated by Fortnite, Apex Legends, and more. Stay tuned for more updates, and check out the roadmap for Splitgate 2 here.
