What’s Splitgate: Arena Warfare?
As I’ve mentioned above, Splitgate: Arena Warfare is a brand new fast-paced arena shooter from the developer 1047 Studio. However, the game is no ordinary modern shooter. If you’ve ever sat down and imagined what will the mixture of the shooter Halo and the platformer Portal be, then Splitgate: Arena Warfare is the closest one to your imagination.
The game not only has the machine-type shooting gameplay of Halo 2 but also lets you use player-controlled portals to travel through dimensions. How cool is that!
This mechanic certainly brings a lot of potential to the game. Just imagine being able to fly everywhere in the map and flank your enemies from any unexpected angles with a portal. That will be an unforgettable experience that everyone shooter fan must have (especially if you love Portal!)
There's no class in the game: no tanks, no DPS, no special roles. The game only provides you with nine distinctive guns that players can choose from. With the great potentials with the portals, this is not big a deal at all!
I haven’t tried the game yet, but I definitely will as soon as it opens.
How to get the game?
Splitgate was previously planned to be officially released on May 22. However, the studio has found some minor problems, and they had no choice but to delay the release date to have some time to fix those bugs (and to let their employees rest, too.)
The released date was pushed back to 6 AM PST on May 24 through Steam. Splitgate will be free-to-play, so you can grab the game as soon as it releases without having to pay any expenses. Of course, the developer needs money to pay their workers, so the game will contain some in-game transactions. But don’t worry, because all of those purchasable items will be for cosmetics only, and it will not affect the game balance.
The CEO and co-founder of 1047 studio – Ian Proulx has reassured the game’s fans:
“As Splitgate evolved, we realized that players would be best served with a free-to-play model. We want to ensure that everyone who wants to play has the opportunity to do so.”
