Suit up and portal into the action as an elite Ace in Splitgate: Arena Reloaded, a 4v4 free-to-play shooter redefining what it takes to be #1.Splitgate: Arena Reloaded fuses the best of Splitgate 1 & 2, bringing back that classic arena shooter feel. No factions, no abilities, no limits. Choose the way you play– customizable loadouts or even starts–ranging from classic modes like Team Deathmatch and King of the Hill to party modes like Gun Game and Shotty Snipers.
Splitgate: Arena Reloaded reimagines everything from core combat to UI, removes factions and abilities, and delivers player-requested options that honor the original Splitgate arena DNA, including an even-starts mode without customizable weapon loadouts.
Splitgate: Arena Reloaded promises more than just refinements.
“Splitgate has always been a love letter to the arena shooters we grew up playing,” said 1047 Games Design Director Josh Watson. “We’ve been hard at work rebuilding the game from the ground up, taking the best of Splitgate 1 and Splitgate 2, removing what didn’t work, and refining what did.” Watson, previously the Game Director for Epic Games’ Rocket League, joined 1047 Games shortly after Splitgate 2 entered beta earlier this year.
1047 Games has spent the year incorporating community feedback, conducting regular public playtests of experimental builds, and transparently sharing results with players. “The community led us back to the arena,” said 1047 CEO Ian Proulx.
1047 also announced an upcoming mini-documentary to be launched on December 9, which will chronicle the evolution of the portal-based shooter’s next chapter, including the studio’s dedication to the arena genre and its embrace of wide-ranging community input.
Some highlights the team at 1047 did for the launch include:
- Removed Factions, Abilities, and select equipment to refocus on classic arena combat
- Rebuilt progression from the ground up and overhauled the Ranked system
- Introduced 5 new, and 6 fully-reworked maps, 3 new Primary Weapons and 1 new Power Weapon: the Railgun
- New Arena modes, playlist selection, and a true Classic Arena mode with even starts and powerups
- Reduced store prices, simplified the Battle Pass, and improved overall cosmetic quality
- And more to be revealed in the coming weeks…
Splitgate: Arena Reloaded will be free to play on PC (Steam, Epic Game Store), Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, and PS4 starting December 17, 2025.
