1047 Games has officially announced Splitgate 2, the sequel to 2021's fast-paced arena shooter Splitgate, and it's heading your way next year.
Splitgate 2 is following the same path as XDefiant, fighting an endurance battle with Call of Duty as the new CoD Killer. Will it last?
An astounding misinterpretation of the creators quote. This isn't a "CoD-killer". Splitgate plays nothing like CoD. The dev doesn't even say he's trying to compete with CoD, and in fact it's the opposite. In the quote this writer uses IN THE ARTICLE, he says he's tired of playing the same FPS style every year. Obviously he's trying to offer an alternative, not directly compete.
Yeah, the author here is taking a lot of liberties here. Proulx was obviously saying that people needed different types of games than the draw of the annual CoD. He was not saying it was a CoD Killer, only something that wasn't trying to recreate what CoD is doing.
All true👌 But when he directly targets CoD in his speech at SGF and then goes on sayin "Our game is f awesome" what would the community think of it? CoD is boring ours is good; there ya go, another game trying to beat CoD. They just need a better PR guy who doesn't pick fights with other FPS games/developers.
Watch the Splitgate 2 World Premiere Trailer from Summer Game Fest 2025, live from YouTube Theater in Los Angeles with host Geoff Keighley and Lucy James.
Splitgate 2 is a free-to-play shooter that knows it's in a crowded market, but that isn't stopping developer 1047 Games from taking a chance.
I'm insanely excited to play more splitgate, but at the same time a cinematic trailer like this does absolutely nothing for me.
I had some fun with Splitgate 1. However, the game seemed to lack its own identity. Weapons were rather bland and the portal mechanic too remarkable.
