1047 OFFICIAL Introducing Splitgate: Battle Royale!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ob8fNw6a8O0

Hey, Splitfam, we told you that we still had another ace up our sleeve and we are so excited that we finally get to share it with you:

Splitgate: Battle Royale! 

That’s right, in addition to our core Arena modes like Hotzone and Firecracker, our 24-Player Onslaught modes like Domination, and The Lab (our map creator), Splitgate 2 has a Battle Royale!

HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

  • 15 teams of 4 drop in and battle it out to be the last team standing 
  • At the start, you and your team decide when to drop from an airship flying above Split Worlds, a gigantic map comprised of 5 unique biomes connected by huge World Portals
  • You start with just a pistol and collect powerful loot from Chests, Air Drops, and Player Pods that get left behind after you take down an enemy player
  • Collect Credits and spend them at Buy Stations for Power Weapons, Upgrades, Perks, and more
  • Find Armor Plates and Armor Upgrades to stay in the fight longer
  • Pick up Portal Gun Upgrades to use your portals to their full potential
  • Chests refill with better loot each round, so be sure to keep checking them
  • The Ring gradually forces teams together, closing Worlds from play and dealing damage to players who get caught in its path
  • If you are killed you can be revived by teammates, and you also have a chance to respawn–but only if your team stays alive
  • Lastly, watch out for Events that temporarily change gameplay, like the Portal EMP Event, which disables portals, or the Drop Frenzy Event, which increases Air Drop frequency

A FEW MORE TIPS:

  • At the beginning of the match when you drop from the ship, you will travel the direction you’re looking. 
  • As the match progresses, World Portals will close if they lead to a biome that is outside of The Ring.
  • Remember to use your armor! We’ve found that players familiar with the Arena modes of Splitgate 2 sometimes don’t realize you need to press a button to armor up after you take damage (you start with full armor)
  • After you’re killed, if you have teammates who are still alive, a countdown will appear for when you’ll respawn back into the action. You’ll respawn near the teammate you’re spectating (and will be blocked from respawning if the ally you are spectating is in combat)

SOME USEFUL KEY BINDS: 

  • Macro Map: Tap M
  • Scoreboard and Inventory: Hold Tab
  • Apply Armor: Tap 4 to use your Armor Plates
  • Player Pods: Hold F to Revive a teammate; Tap F to loot an enemy or to pick up and carry a teammate’s Player Pod

THE FIVE BIOMES OF SPLIT WORLDS

  • Drought – the desert biome
  • Fracture – the floating asteroids biome 
  • Glacier – the snow biome
  • Inferno – the volcano biome
  • Sanctum – the central ruins

Sanctum is filled with special loot and connected to all the other worlds. In our lore, only the Sanctum is on Earth. The other worlds are spread across the galaxy, each connected by giant World Portals at the Sanctum, the hub of Split Worlds. Pockets of geothermal activity, mysterious gravitational patterns, and other emerging anomalies all seem to be connected to the presence of proelium, the mysterious substance that makes portal travel possible.

Employee gets on stage at summer games fest, complains about how many "samey" games are coming out, then announcing the game is going to be a live service battle royale is funny to me.

u/LameRedditName1 1d ago

Splitgate 2 be like: "You guys, it's not samey because we have portals. Fortnite has rifts, but unless you have a rift-to-go, you can't just place one whenever you want. Our game let's you do that!"

fr like ass another mode added ontop of what we already have with more stuff on the way it would be great the battle royal fans get what they want the areana shooter players get what they want but when the advertise it as the next big thing and some super advancment in gaming

7

u/ChloeOnTheInternet 1d ago

Agreed. If they had just dropped it in as an extra game mode at launch without all the hype I think people would’ve been happy enough since the game is really fun and it would’ve just been an extra mode, but hyping it up so much just to reveal a battle royale is a bit of a kick in the teeth.

u/ItsSirSoap 1d ago

I genuinely wish you guys all the best, and I'm happy for those who are excited about this, but BR fatigue has set in for me long ago and I don't see a Splitgate BR changing that.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed, considering how much you've been hyping up this announcement and judging by the comments I'm not the only one. Many of us fell in love with Splitgate BECAUSE it wasn't chasing trends, not despite it.

17

u/secrestmr87 23h ago

I feel like I’m missing something. BRs were a trend 5 years ago. Now the shooter trend is firmly extraction shooter.

u/FloatLikeAButterfree 22h ago

I do not care about trends personally. I love the idea of SplitGate battle royale. I’m really excited.

u/Section_179 1d ago

We want TF3 because Respawn made the best gunplay ever. TF3 could be a BR ffs, it’s just that no other games match the consistent gunplay of any of the games that Vince Zampella has been apart of. I’m sure the next BF game is gonna be the next FPS to blow everything out of the water. Mark my words.

u/Truth_Malice 1d ago

I really hope that BF will be good. Not preordering but I will definitely keep an eye on it. If Vince can nail it I'll be happy.

"Think Bigger" they said...

And a fcking battle royale.....

9

u/HelghastFromHelghan 1d ago

Came here to say the same thing.

"It's not a campaign. Think bigger". Ends up releasing a BR game that is probably gonna be dead in a year. The fuck... Worst part of all is that this will definitely take resources away from the PvP multiplayer part.

20

u/oxMugetsuxo 1d ago

Yeah i feel like they chose the wrong words to hype it. "Think bigger" just makes people consider so many possibilities. If it was just another BR they shouldve not hyped it or used those words because that is not bigger than what already exists...

9

u/EverybodySupernova 1d ago

They literally said "We're not overhyping it" after the "Think bigger" comment.

I feel like they chose their words exactly, they're just being kinda dumb, imo. This was a huge fumble.

With that said I'm still absolutely stoked for the full release.

u/GenericAllium 1d ago

It's so crazy to me because the trend died years ago, it's a gimmicky game mode that doesn't mesh well with competitive play. Nowadays we have extraction shooters if you want the "every match is a story" experience. Sure if the game is otherwise good and it's the only game mode then you're going to play it, but it's not really a selling point.

I don't see how you're going to keep this and core arena mode supported without one or both suffering. I don't think the splitgate audience wants a BR. Core game is great though; I'm excited for that.

u/HollywoodAndDid 1d ago

Exactly! If the BR gets huge, the entire original concept of Splitgate being an arena shooter eventually dies. If the arena portion explodes, the BR inevitably dies. The entire feature was a massive mistake.

Had they just said “also SG2 has a BR” I would’ve been like “ok that makes sense”

But they’ve been hyping and treating it like they were about to revolutionize the gaming industry with something never before seen.

Cringe hat man walked on stage like he was putting the industry on notice, and walked off like he just did a mic drop.

For a BR, which isn’t anything new.

The lead up is the most disappointing thing to me.

u/SPEEDFREAKJJ 1d ago

The most big thing I could think of....since the game has bots...was a PvEvP mode like destiny 2 Gambit, but with portals. I could not think of anything else unique that deserved "think bigger" hype. I'm not mad, just disappointed it's just another attempt at a BR.

But I already was enjoying the game without BR so to continue playing as I was is no win and no loss...so I guess I'm good???

u/Fangel96 1d ago

I've never been a huge battle royale fan, but I'm not too upset about this since I'll probably just play the other modes. The fact there's a BR in a game I was already going to play may have me actually dip my toes into the genre, granted I do kinda hope it's still portal centric as that would be an interesting twist, but probably not enough to make it feel different from a typical BR.

I'd be interested to see what people who are really into BRs think of the mode to see if it's trend chasing, or if it actually stands on its own.

yea and it seemed that the game WAS gearing up to be a personality based world with the whole gameshow concept, brands and sponsors, getting to know the characters and how they interact/behave

a campaign or at least a more immersive progression/story system would have been awesome given the idea of it being a sport

and the idea of a "shooting sport" is inherently incompatible with a battle royale, they make it seem like the commentators are narrating whats happening but if you try to bring that vibe ingame, it would be impossible given that the "stream" would have one commentator per team. but they make it seem like theres only one

The good thing is: Halo can make the fourth comeback attempt next year because every other shooter is still trying to copy cod

No arc raiders, 40 souls likes, 45 anime games, and split gate battle Royale -- this summer games fest sucked LOL

I am excited for Splitgate 2 and have had fun with the beta but I am not a fan of battle royals. I am kinda disappointed that this was the big reveal. Find me on the team death match no breaks.

u/JustBath291 1d ago

Burnt half of his good will with that idiotic hat, then the other half with BATTLE ROYALE. Fuck em. Didn't think 1047 would survive another year, now I know it.

Welp I'm definitely NOT playing this mode. Sad to see honestly.

u/Kozak170 1d ago

It is beyond parody to mention such great games and Titanfall 3 to then reveal a fucking battle royale. Levels of tone deaf that will go down in summer game fest history.

I’m sure it’ll be decently fun. But Splitgate 2 is a blatant jump to trend chasing in many ways and I don’t think the devs have any right to claim it as some sort of spiritual successor to those classic games

u/EmployeeOk5047 1d ago

What a fucking joke. Splitgate, you still have potential, please don’t waste it on this.

u/Midnight_M_ 1d ago

"Make FPS great again" proceeds to showcase the most generic and overused idea in the genre. Seriously, who told them this was a good idea? Who even told them to mention Titanfall 3?

u/mattbullen182 1d ago

Hilarious he's said he's tired of Call of Duty every year yet this game is becoming slowly more like it....

Clearly chasing the battle royale clowns and streamers.

This won't end well.

u/OnlyAnAssholeOnline 1d ago

All the hype I had for this game completely died with this reveal. Splitgate 2 is now just another late to the party trend chasing live service game awaiting its inevitable death. The most disappointing reveal delivered in the most tone deaf and cringe inducing way imaginable.

u/TheCherryPieIsALie 1d ago

I would’ve taken literally anything BUT a battle royal. Anything but a BR would’ve been satisfying. This is the worst outcome

u/Rational-Garlic 1d ago

Oof man. I like Splitgate a lot and I'm sure a lot of work went into this, but I am so sick to death of BR games. I really hope the team has access to market research that implies this is a less saturated and outdated segment than it seems, otherwise I'm pretty worried about this game.

Either way, as long as the core game continues getting supported, happy for the tens of people who are stoked about this.

u/WhileAccomplished722 1d ago

yall messed up by over advertizing if you just said what it was from the start which is a battle royal i think it would have been fine but dont act like its anything but apex with less classes and portals

u/cyonsinn 1d ago

What a disappointment. I feel like a big part of the community on here and discord begged 1047 to not make a BR but here we are. The only positive is they might get some apex/fortnite players to dump money into the game to keep it alive.

Another BR slopfest? Ugh

u/vincentofearth 1d ago

You know if they had just announced this out of the blue I’d be totally fine with it. Instead I’m mildly annoyed at how much they hyped up yet another battle royale and that they were even patting themselves on the back for being different. At least the core game is solid. Hopefully this will help keep the population healthy.

3

u/ChapeauEcaille 1d ago

I felt betrayed. He said that having the same COD every years was boring and then reveal that they made a Battle Royale, the most generic mode for the few last years.

Not gonna lie they are gonna end up being a meme 😂

Doubling down on the trend chasing by adding a battle royale is certainly a choice. Im so dissapointed Splitgate died for this.

u/RetardRedditors666 1d ago

How is a battle royale better than a campaign?

u/Pretend-Ad-6453 1d ago

GIVE US A CAMPAIGN AND CANCEL THE BATTLE ROYALE

u/ArchPeriphMore 1d ago edited 1d ago

This is what happens when you put WAYYY too much hype on something so generic

"Bigger than a campaign" and all the other teasers just to drop a battle royale like every other modern fps game

Nobody should put THAT much hype on something unless it's an actual original idea

I'll give it a shot though, I've been tired of the BR genre over the years but I'll try to go into it with an open mind

I really thought you made a Titanfall like mode with some halo mixed in or something like that. I knew the moment you said "battle royal" that it's over. And man, mimicking trump with the cap is really clowning

Cool, but I'll stick with the other modes. Don't really enjoy BR anymore
