Portal Shooter Splitgate Introduces Custom Game Mode and Teased New Season Coming

Adrian Tan — Fri, 05 Nov 2021 15:52:00 +0000

Creators of the summer smash hit Splitgate revealed a major update to the online portal shooter today as they rolled out a custom game option that allows players far more control over what kind of matches they want to play. Alongside this new feature, fans will notice a facelift to the UI for selecting maps and game modes, making it easier to scroll through present and saved game modes.

In the custom games mode currently, players can create their own game modes and play with friends. Today’s update grants them the ability to define their own team traits, setting up the possibility for wildly mixed asynchronous matches. For example, Team A could have supercharged health but be unable to use portals and Team B could have far less health but they have use of portals and heavier weaponry. This is the first step of many planned updates in the custom games feature set for fans.

The possibilities are many, and with the update players are able to save their custom game modes and load them again later (prior to this update, players would have to manually change every custom setting every time). Additionally, there will be custom game presets for fans looking to set up a match in a faster, more streamlined way.

Another important element to today’s update is the news that fans have until November 30 to complete their battle pass for Season 0, which launched late summer during Splitgate’s meteoric rise in popularity after its debut in open beta on consoles. A new season will begin December 1, and details for that are coming soon. However: The new December season will not herald Splitgate 1.0 but will be a preseason refresh with all-new content and a battle pass as the team works toward the official 1.0 launch, currently set for 2022.

One of the defining games of summer 2021, Splitgate exploded onto PCs and consoles as the game hit open beta across all platforms in July. With more than 15 million downloads, the unique portal shooter features 20+ available maps, hundreds of exclusive weapon skins, armor skins, banners, jetpacks and more with premium DLCs, a battle pass and more. Fans can jump into Season 0 now, completely for free.

Splitgate Has Just Launch A Massive Quality of Life Update, So Here’s What’s In It

Adrian Tan — Wed, 29 Sep 2021 05:44:00 +0000

Splitgate developer and publisher 1047 Games pushed a significant update live today for the free online shooter that sports several quality of life enhancements and fixes for players.

The biggest change with this update addresses the game’s mantling system. Players are now able to climb ledges with far more freedom, allowing more strategic verticality in combat. Additionally, Nvidia Reflex has been implemented into the game with this update – PC players using Nvidia GPUs will shave precious milliseconds off reaction times, potentially skirting death when it matters most. Nvidia Reflex is not available on consoles.

Fans will also be happy to hear that much needed voice chat improvements have been implemented as voice chat should no longer drop out across platforms during a match.

New featured playlists have been added that will rotate each weekend with different modes, allowing fans a greater chance to test out a variety of modes and hone their skills across various play styles and strategies. Another key update is that the geometry bug causing crashing on Karman Station’s map and keeping it out of rotation has now also been addressed and the fix has been added to the game. Several other optimizations have also been added, and the full list can be found at https://www.splitgate.com/for-new-site/featured-news.

One of the defining games of summer 2021, Splitgate exploded onto PCs and consoles as the game hit open beta across all platforms in July. With more than 13 million downloads, the unique portal shooter features 20+ available maps, hundreds of exclusive weapon skins, armor skins, banners, jetpacks and more with premium DLCs, a battle pass and more. Fans can jump into the pre-season open beta happening now, completely for free.

F2P Portal Shooter Splitgate Announces Season 0

Adrian Tan — Thu, 26 Aug 2021 14:00:00 +0000

Splitgate Season 0 is now available after being revealed on Opening Night Live today. The surprise launch of Season 0 comes just weeks after developer and publisher 1047 Games’ flagship title exploded in popularity, garnering more than 10 million downloads in its first month of open beta. The Season 0 content debuts a Battle Pass with 100 levels, new seasonal challenges and seasonal rewards, a new map, new modes, and more.

One of the defining games of summer 2021, Splitgate’s Season 0 swings into action today with all-new challenges that unlock throughout the season allowing fans to gain rewards. Season 0 features both free and premium challenges, with premium challenges available exclusively to Battle Pass owners. These will be more difficult to complete than the weekly and daily challenges, but will pack bigger rewards for the most dedicated players.

Also live today: Contamination Mode. In Contamination Mode, the contaminated player equips only a melee weapon and contaminates as many other players as possible by killing them, ending the round when all other players become infected. Players who become contaminated then spawn and switch sides, garnering points for contaminating as many players as they can. Uninfected players equip a shotgun and earn points by killing as many contaminated players as they can, so there’s multiple ways to rack up points in this action-packed thrilling mode. This mode is…infectious.

Season 0 also features the latest map, Karman Station, to launch among Splitgate’s 20+ available maps, transporting players to a stunning and dangerous open galactic playground set in outer space. With a sprawling and exposed center, the map also features an outer sniper tower which serves the controlling team by helping to track enemy movements. But be careful, teamwork is necessary to overtake objectives in adjacent corridors and rooms.

Players jumping into Season 0 have the option to choose from hundreds of exclusive weapon skins, armor skins, banners, jetpacks and more, alongside new premium DLCs including a new starter character and weapon pack, or choose the Gold Edition with the most intimidating character in the Splitgate universe, an exclusive legendary portal and jetpack, and more.

Splitgate is an online multiplayer first-person shooter that features player-created portals. Initially launched for PC in 2019, the flagship title from 1047 Games was re-released for PlayStation and Xbox consoles in the spring and has experienced a meteoric rise in player adoption to become one of 2021’s most unstoppable games.
