Multiplayer Battle Royale (BR) games are extremely popular right now. The BR giants: Fortnite, Apex Legends, PUBG, and Warzone all have huge player bases and viewership. A lot of people have become addicted to playing Battle Royale games since they are unpredictable and really fun to play. With the rise of BR games, the recently founded video game studio 1047 Games has released a BR game called “Splitgate”, which combines the gameplay of Halo and Portal. Does “Spligate” have what it takes to challenge the BR giants?
Following the end of feature development on Splitgate, the new game by 1047 Games set in the same universe will come in 2024 at the earliest.
1047 Games announced that the next Splitgate update will be the last major patch as the team is moving towards a totally new project.
I was hoping this one would have a longer dev cycle.
It's a lot of fun, but I guess the player count dropped.
I have to admit, i havent played in a while. It was a hell of a lot of fun for the 6 months I played though.
yeah within the last year. i remember it being big right before infinite launched
While I'm sad to see development on Splitgate is being permanently stopped, I still have high hopes for this developer. They've shown they can make a good game, but now I hope they'll make a great game. A game that may even usurp Halo... not that that's a high bar to achieve or anything these days.
1047 Games CEO Ian Proulx explains what the company is trying to accomplish before sending Splitgate out of open beta.
I don’t know if I’m confused, or the author is..
Splitgate isn’t a BR game. At all. ??
Maybe they’ve added something since I last played it, but If not, this article makes zero sense.
A fun free halo clone, but the real deal is just around the corner now with Infinite
