Today the developers at 1047 Games announced that they will end active development of new features for the popular portal shooter Splitgate.
The announcement is motivated by the fact that the developer did not expect the success of the game, which was built to support much fewer players.
As such, after trying to update the game to fit the unexpected situation, they decided to move on to develop a fully new game in the Splitgate universe in Unreal Engine 5. It’ll be still free-to-play and feature portals and shooting.
Splitgate itself will not be taken down and will receive a new free battle pass on September 15 to keep the community entertained.
Below you can read the full announcement.
The store will continue to operate and Splitcoin will retain its value. No refunds will be issued, and there is no information on whether the currency will transfer to the new game.
1047 Games will also continue to offer support in the form of bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements on September 15. They will also keep monitoring and fixing any game-breaking issues for the foreseeable future.
Last, but not least, there is no information on when information on the new game will come, but it’ll take “a while.”
Splitgate is currently available on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.
