Steam post<\/a> penned by 1047 founders Ian Proulx and Nicholas Bagamian states that the negative player feedback has made them realize the game \u201claunched too early\u201d and may have been too ambitious. \u201cWe rushed certain features, made some boneheaded mistakes, and most importantly \u2013 we didn’t give you the polished, portal-filled mayhem you fell in love with,\u201d reads the statement.<\/p>\nSplitgate 2 will now return to a playable beta form, with 1047 going \u201cheads down\u201d until early 2026 to significantly rebuild the game. This includes, among other changes, reworking the progression systems from scratch, adding more portals to maps, simplifying monetization, and refocusing on classic game modes. During this time, 1047 plans to host more playtests and send more surveys to gather as much community feedback as possible. The studio also promises it will still ship Chapter 3 of the game.<\/p>\n
