    https://store.steampowered.com/app/2918300/SPLITGATE_Arena_Reloaded After Arena Reloaded launched, we spent a lot of time listening. We read your feedback, watched how you played, and paid close attention to what the community was asking for. We did not want to rush Season 2 out the door. We wanted to make sure it went in the right direction. That process shaped everything you are about to read. Season 2 brings back one of the most requested maps from the original Splitgate, rebuilt and polished for Arena Reloaded. It introduces a brand-new arena designed from the ground up, a power weapon that changes the way fights play out, and a beloved experience from the original game that the community has been asking us to bring back since launch. Arena Royale gets its most dangerous biome event yet along with Duos for the first time, and a new Battle Pass brings over 100 items tied to one of our most ambitious seasonal themes yet. We packed a lot into this one, and we are excited to walk through all of it. Season 2 arrives March 27th at 12 noon PT (downtime at 10am PT), see you there! The Theme: Space SmugglersEvery season needs an identity. For Season 2, we wanted something that matched the energy of the game itself: fast, bold, and a little reckless (at times). That led us to space smugglers and relic hunters, characters who show up to the arena with a ship they probably should not have with something to prove. We want you to think Indiana Jones, but in space, with portals! Foregone DestructionThis is the map the community has been asking for since Arena Reloaded launched. We…

    SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded Launches Today

    From the recorded announcement

    Since our beta launch in May, players have given us clear, honest feedback about what felt right, what drifted too far from the identity of Splitgate, and what was missing from the experience.

    Since our beta launch in May, players have given us clear, honest feedback about what felt right, what drifted too far from the identity of Splitgate, and what was missing from the experience. We took that feedback seriously and have been working tirelessly to meet your expectations for a true sequel to Splitgate. When we went back to the drawing board, we set a few clear priorities based on your feedback and what players expect from a modern FPS. We needed to fix the systems that weren’t meeting expectations, add the features people consider standard today, tighten the core experience around arena shooter fans, and bring back the spirit and personality that made SG1 stand out. We also knew the game needed a stronger identity, something that feels unmistakably like Splitgate. Just as important, we wanted to make sure our time away was justified. That meant delivering far more than balance changes or polish. It meant bringing fresh maps, new modes, reworked systems, and meaningful content that makes this feel like a true launch, not just a patch. SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded is Live Now The following overview below breaks down the major changes in SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded. Whether you're a returning player, someone who joined during beta, or new to Splitgate entirely, we hope this gives you a clear picture of where the game is headed and why we’re so excited to share it with you. Alright, let’s get into it. GameplayRemoved Factions, Abilities, and select equipment to refocus on classic arena combat. Added map pickups, including Legendary Weapons and Powerups. Introduced new…

    We’re excited to finally share some big news. The game you knew as Splitgate 2 has evolved into SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded, launching free-to-play on December 17 on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, Windows), Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4. After months of community feedback, testing and rebuilding the entire experience, this is Splitgate refocused on what made it special in the first place: classic arena combat without factions, abilities, or extra noise. Since entering beta in May, we’ve been listening. Splitgate has always been about the arena first, and it was clear we had more work to do to live up to that. We took the best of Splitgate 1 and Splitgate 2, cut what didn’t fit, and refined what did. In the process, we not only rebuilt the game, we reconnected with the magic of the genre that built this studio in the first place.A Return to the ArenaArena shooters are in our DNA. Splitgate has always been a love letter to the classic shooters that sparked a lifelong passion for games for so many of us. They were fast, expressive, and skillful, and they brought people together around shared experiences. With SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded, our goal is to bring that feeling forward for a new generation while keeping it fresh for the players who have been with us from the start. We pulled everything back to what matters most to this genre and to the Splitgate community: clean gunfights, smart portal plays, and a focus on outplaying your opponent, not out-stacking them with extra systems. You helped lead the way, and we’re grateful for it. What’s…
