"We didn’t make the game of our dreams": Splitgate 2 is a AAA FPS built to "last a decade or more" using everything the first FPS couldn't be, all in Unreal Engine 5

Players hop through a portal in Splitgate 2.

It turns out that the mystery announcement developer 1047 Games teased earlier this week was a whole new game. Splitgate 2 - the sequel to 2019's massively popular arena shooter with portals - will release in 2025.

"With Splitgate, we made a game we loved and that our awesome community embraced, but we didn’t make the game of our dreams," 1047 CEO Ian Proulx says in a July 18 PlayStation blog. "I truly believe Splitgate 2 is the game I dreamed of making when Nicholas Bagamian and I got together in a Stanford dorm and decided to put portals in a shooter."
