For all you Splitgate fans out there, the wait is almost over! The much-anticipated sequel to this viral hit is now accepting sign-ups for its playtest. It’s time to gear up and get ready for action.
Every so often, a game unexpectedly skyrockets to popularity, and that’s exactly what happened with Splitgate back in 2021. Although the full launch came later, it made waves initially from its indefinite beta period, surprising many despite having been in early access for some time. A year after its official release, 1047 Games announced they would be halting feature development on the game, which combines elements of Halo and Portal, to focus on a sequel being developed with Unreal Engine 5.
Earlier this year, fans got teased with an official announcement and a tentative release penciled in for 2025. Recently, the official Splitgate Twitter account shared the exciting news that you can now register to join the upcoming playtest.
“Time to dive back into Splitgate 2!” the tweet exclaims, inviting players to experience something new and provide their feedback. Signing up is straightforward—just fill out a Google form with some basic questions about your previous experience with Splitgate, recent shooters you’ve played, and preferred gaming platforms.
However, a heads-up: you’ll need to provide your Steam and Discord handles, with Steam likely being where the test will take place. If you value your privacy, you might want to sit this one out, as these details are mandatory.
In September, Connor from our team had a chat with 1047 Games’ CEO, who shared insights about keeping Splitgate fresh and learning valuable lessons from classics like Halo Reach. It’s definitely worth checking out if you’re interested in the game’s development journey.
So, if you’re eager to get a sneak peek at what’s next in the Splitgate saga, don’t miss this opportunity to join the playtest and be part of shaping the future of this beloved shooter.
