Splitgate 2 developer 1047 Games recaps a successful open alpha session and teases the future by announcing a new Open Beta launch window. The sequel to the fan-favorite portal shooter has been picking up a ton of steam as of late thanks to a well-received open alpha testing session, giving players access to an early build of Splitgate 2.
It has been a major turnaround for 1047 Games as Splitgate 2‘s announcement was met with concern by players over what appeared to be a shift to a hero shooter. Ultimately, the fears were largely unfounded as the game keeps its arena shooter values, while enhancing and adding new mechanics like crouch sliding and a new faction system. The changes and evolutions of the core mechanics have also seemingly resonated with players as Splitgate 2 has just ended a very successful Open Alpha.

Splitgate 2 Open Beta Release Window
Alongside the Open beta announcement, 1047 reflected on the recent open alpha, which appeared to ultimately be a major success. Thanking the community and those who participated, the post confirmed strong player retention throughout, alongside positive feedback from players. Going deeper, the studio even revealed tons of stats collected from the Alpha, confirming that over 500,000 games were played, representing a 200% growth from the previous Summer’s closed Splitgate 2 testing. Players spawned 20 million portals, earned 59 million kills, and even managed to discover a rooster.
While 1047 didn’t elaborate on what sort of content will be included in the upcoming Open Beta, the studio still has a couple of months to make announcements. It’s highly likely that Splitgate 2’s massive Glacier Map will also resurface, giving all players another chance to check out its unique features. As Alpha players discovered, the map is 20 times bigger than any previous map in the original game, letting players take advantage of Splitgate 2‘s slide mechanic and 8v8v8 game mode.
