After having a roaring success from their initial launch, the free-to-play first-person shooter game with portals is finally reaching their Season 1 release. 1047 Games has announced that within Splitgate’s Beta Season 1 release on January 27th, they will be adding a ton of content to the game. This will include an array of new features, modes, and enhancements including a custom map creator.
Some of the content includes new weapon and item designs, a new level 100 Battle Pass, new characters, banners, spray, a reimagined version of the Foregone Destruction map - bringing the arena up to an exemplary standard to which the whole game will eventually evolve - and two new game modes; Evolution and One Flag Capture-the-Flag. As usual, this update will be coming for free to all platforms the game is available on.
The biggest news from this update has to be the introduction of a custom map creator that allows players to create and play their own maps, including the ability to co-create and share maps with friends. The map creator gives players the option to create and place objects, weapons, spawns, building blocks, portal walls, and more and also allows rotation and magnetic-snapping between scenery to make placing objects easier.
Splitgate has already reached over 17 million downloads. With this Beta Season 1 update coming this week, there are sure to be many players coming back and joining the arena for some more unique, portal-filled battles! What part of this update are you looking forward to most?
