1047 Games is ready to show off the new and improved version of Splitgate 2 after it pulled the game back into beta earlier this year.
Hopefully it will support Linux on launch. Splitgate 2 not functioning on Linux at launch killed the momentum and hype for me and I never tried it again. I really liked the first game and hated it that they took it away and what I read about Splitgate 2. It’s great they listened to the community and reworked the game in a meaningful way! (Unlike Concorde…)
The game now sports the name Splitgate: Arena Reloaded.
Here are some of the major changes the developer has implemented since it pulled the plug on the launch:
-
Removed Factions, Abilities, and select equipment to refocus on classic arena combat
-
Rebuilt progression from the ground up and overhauled the Ranked system
-
Introduced 5 new, and 6 fully-reworked maps, 3 new Primary Weapons and 1 new Power Weapon: the Railgun New Arena modes, playlist selection, and a true Classic Arena mode with even starts and powerups
-
Reduced store prices, simplified the Battle Pass, and improved overall cosmetic quality
-
Given the monetization and wacko ceo, I’ll be looking at out of action and diesel knights for my movement shooter kick
