Det var en självsäker Ian Proulx från indiestudion 1047 Games som intog scenen under Summer Gamefest 2025 för att meddela att de jobbat stenhårt på ett Battle royale-läge som rullas ut idag, inatt. 60 spelare som tydligen kommer att kunna hoppa mellan olika världar, för att i slutändan se vem som står sist kvar - vinner rubbet. Här på Gamereactor ser vi fram emot att testa spelläget under den kommande veckan.
Splitgate 2's surprise Battle Royale mode, Splitgate: Battle Royale, features:
• 60-Player Showdowns: Each match challenges 15 teams of four to work together while shutting down the competition to emerge from no-holds-barred firefights as the lone winner.
• An Expansive, Interconnected Map: Matches are hosted on Split Worlds, a gigantic colosseum with five unique biomes linked by massive World Portals allowing teams to get the jump on their competition.
• Choose where to drop in across Drought's scorching desert, Glacier's slick snowscape, Inferno's active volcano, or Fracture's cluster of asteroids. After landing, players who stay in the match long enough will gain access to a fifth biome - the central area of Sanctum's foreboding ruins, which offers special, powerful loot for those who can survive sparring to get it.
• Strategy Shifting Events: Mid-match scenarios challenge teams to think quick and adapt even quicker, like the Portal EMP Event's shutdown of portaling or the Drop Frenzy Event's tide-turning upswing in the frequency of Air Drops.
• Immense Variety and Replayability: With lootable chests, chances for eliminated players to return to the fray, and events preventing matches from playing out the same way twice, Splitgate: Battle Royale revitalizes the classic thrills of battle royale with Splitgate 2's distinctly thrilling portal-based FPS action.
