On Thursday, August 8, 1047 Games revealed the first look at Splitgate 2 gameplay. It was the first time since the announcement of the sequel that anything was shown of the game. The Splitgate 2 gameplay reveal introduced three factions that will be featured in the FPS, Aeros, Sabrask, and Meridian.

The official gameplay reveal features insights from pro esports players from Halo, Call of Duty, and Valorant.

Below are more details about the Factions in Splitgate 2 via 1047 Games:

Each faction comes with its own distinct abilities, with each suiting a different, varied playstyle – players are encouraged to mix and match factions on their teams to maximize strengths and to counter the opposing team’s choices.

Aeros faction: Aeros’s fast-action and Rush ability allows for sick kills via slick movement – while master portal skills are used to control an area. Traditional Splitgate fans who love to be in the middle of the action will be right at home aligning with Aeros.

Meridian: Meridian’s Hypersight and Time Dome mechanics give a huge boost to support class players, arming them with the ability to assist the whole team. Built for the ultimate utility player who rounds out their matches by helping, healing, and scoring.

Sabrask:

Sabrask’s militaristic origins have made them into the toughest Aces in Sol. The Sabrask Smart Wall is truly advantageous in a head-to-head gun fight and combined with a few perfectly thrown grenades, this faction can have powerful offensive potential in controlling an area.

The first alpha for Splitgate 2 will go live on Steam from August 21 – 25.

1047 Games will also have a deeper look at Splitgate 2 on August 14 at 3 PM ET / 12 PM PT on Twitch.

Splitgate 2 will be released for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.
