Developer 1047 Games has unveiled the content roadmap for Splitgate 2 Update, giving players a glimpse of what to expect from the game ahead of its full launch this summer. The roadmap outlines plans starting with the open beta and extending into future updates.
Luckily, fans won’t have to wait long to jump in, as the open beta kicks off on May 22. Prior to this, 1047 Games has offered several sneak peeks through closed playtests. While Splitgate 2 retains core features from the original game—like the signature portal mechanic—the sequel aims to evolve the first-person shooter experience. One key addition is the introduction of three distinct factions: Aeros, Meridian, and Sabrask. Each faction offers unique weapons and abilities, allowing players to tailor their loadouts to their preferred playstyle.
To build excitement for the beta, 1047 Games revealed that it will launch with nine new maps and three fresh game modes. Alongside the beta, The Lab will debut, a map editor inspired by Halo’s Forge mode that lets players create custom content. This creative feature could significantly extend the game’s lifespan by empowering the community to design and share their own maps. Additionally, the open beta will include a battle pass, a new power weapon, and weekly playlists curated based on player feedback.
