Takedown, Onslaught, and Dev Hunts Return
Takedown mode returns with a twist: kill enemies to shorten your team’s respawns, but dying makes them longer. Four new Simulation maps are built for this mode.
The new 24-player Onslaught maps—Drought and Fracture—expand the chaos. More maps and surprises are on the way through the beta period.
Also returning is the popular “Hunt the Devs” event. Kill a developer wearing a flaming disco ball skin in a match and unlock a special “Dev Killer” skin for their faction. There are three faction skins to collect: Aeros, Sabrask, and Meridian.
Final Launch and Future Roadmap
The open beta will continue until Splitgate 2 launches in full later this summer. 1047 Games has promised more maps, more game modes, and “one massive surprise” that will be revealed on launch day. If you're planning to dive in, now is the time to secure exclusive rewards and cosmetics that will carry over to the final release.
