Developer 1047 has made the significant decision to withdraw Splitgate 2 from the market. In a candid announcement on their website, co-founders Ian Proulx and Nicholas Bagamian shared insights into the challenges faced during the game’s launch. They acknowledged that the shooter was released prematurely, a move made in haste to meet a specific deadline.
Future Plans for Splitgate 2
In light of this, 1047 is committed to refining the game, with plans to unveil an enhanced version of Splitgate 2 in early 2026. Players who have already purchased the game will still have access to it, allowing them to continue their gaming experience during this transitional phase.
In a related move, the studio announced the impending shutdown of servers for the original Splitgate, scheduled for August. This decision is part of a broader strategy to streamline operations and retain key staff members.
“Rebuilding the core experience isn’t a quick fix; it’s a long-term commitment,” the founders expressed. “To give ourselves the time to build the Splitgate you deserve, we’ve made the incredibly difficult decision to reduce certain roles and shift our resources to focus on this rework.”
They further emphasized the emotional weight of this decision, noting that the affected employees are not just colleagues but friends who played a vital role in the studio’s journey. In recognition of their contributions, those impacted will receive severance packages and job placement support as they navigate this transition. The founders expressed hope to welcome these team members back in the future when circumstances allow.
