During yesterday's Summer Game Fest 2025 showcase, 1047 Games CEO and co-founder Ian Proux took to the stage to highlight Splitgate 2 and its launch – but his implications that the FPS would revolutionize the genre seem to have fallen short.
Proux, donning a controversial "Make FPS Great Again" cap, explained that the reasons he made Splitgate 2 are simple: "Because I grew up playing Halo, and I'm tired of playing the same Call of Duty every year, and I wish we could have Titanfall 3." The lead then posted a response to those uncomfortable with his on-stage message and presence, exclaiming that he's "not here to apologize, but I am here to clarify."
