Free-to-play portal-based arena shooter Splitgate 2 will relaunch as SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and Microsoft Store on December 17, developer 1047 Games announced.
1047 Games also announced an upcoming mini-documentary to be released on December 9, which will chronicle the evolution of the game’s next chapter, including the studio’s “dedication to the arena genre and its embrace of wide-ranging community input.”
“Splitgate has always been a love letter to the arena shooters we grew up playing,” said 1047 Games design director Josh Watson in a press release. “We’ve been hard at work rebuilding the game from the ground up, taking the best of Splitgate 1 and Splitgate 2, removing what didn’t work, and refining what did.”
Watson, who was previously game director of Rocket League, joined 1047 Games shortly after Splitgate 2 entered earlier in 2025.
1047 Games CEO Ian Proulx added, “The community led us back to the arena,” citing the game’s incorporation of community feedback through regular public playtests and transparent sharing of results with players.
Here is an overview of the game, via 1047 Games:
