Splitgate 2 developer and publisher 1047 Games onboarded Sotaro “Tajeen” Tojima, a lauded designer with key credits across the Halo and Metal Gear Solid series, for the role of audio director on Splitgate 2.

Tojima joining 1047 Games advances the studio’s mission to deliver the best FPS action in the world, bolstered by innovative portal-hopping firefights.

Tojima now leverages his immense expertise to deliver an immersive, best-in-class experience with Splitgate 2, ensuring every action players make delivers satisfying feedback and draws players into Splitgate 2’s futuristic world. Tojima’s ability to enhance action by blending music, environmental audio and dynamic sound effects will complement every element of Splitgate 2’s gameplay.

“1047’s vision for Splitgate 2 is as unique from the FPS genre’s conventional frontrunners as the previous series I’ve worked on are from each other,” said Tojima. “Joining the team building the next bold era of FPS presents an exciting new challenge in merging gameplay with tactile audio, and I’m eager to continue pushing the boundaries of what FPS games can be ahead of Splitgate 2’s launch and beyond.”
