Splitgate 2 Alpha Highlights Expanded Modes and Gameplay Changes

The highly anticipated sequel balances its portal-based combat with new features and modes, sparking both excitement and concern among players.

  • Splitgate 2 introduces a variety of new game modes, including 8v8v8 multiteam battles and class-based gameplay with factions, to expand player options.
  • The core portal mechanics remain central to the gameplay, though some modes reportedly de-emphasize portals, raising concerns about the sequel's focus.
  • New quality-of-life improvements, such as streamlined portal commands and faster, smoother movement mechanics, enhance the overall user experience.
  • Factions bring unique abilities and loadouts, creating new strategic opportunities and accommodating different playstyles for players of varying skill levels.
  • While the expanded content aims to improve player retention, early feedback suggests that the increased variety may dilute the game's original appeal.
