I guess this is what the Splitgate CEO meant when he pulled that stupid “Make FPS Great Again” stunt a few months ago… What an absolute shitshow.

Could’ve sworn those Make FPSs Great Again merch would take off. He was so likable.

Unreleasing the game the first time killed it off. It was doing well before that

Ah, the MultiVersus approach.

I liked the game from what I played in the open beta but the battle royale announcement turned me off since it seemed like the studio were already chasing trends instead of letting the game do it’s own thing.

$100 says we never hear from this game again. You can’t “unlaunch”

A few streamers I sometimes tune in to play the game semi-regularly. It seemed fun but the boomer-shooter market has been tough. At the end of the day you are trying to use modern gaming engagement mechanics in a game that’s disproportionately targeting people with jobs and busy lives.

Lmao, did the CEO really write this?

Also they’re shutting down the servers for Splitgate 1… the objectively better game.

I’m out of the loop but lowkey heard there was some drama. What happened? Game boring/bad? Overwatch 2 scenario? Shitty publicity?

“1047 Games is otherwise pausing its planned roadmap to overhaul the project ahead of a relaunch in early 2026.”
ANOTHER overhaul? ANOTHER relaunch? Didn’t they JUST do that? And that’s what we’ve been playing the past couple months?
I’m convinced this game is some kind of money laundering scheme at this point because what lol

Splitgate launched good, all they needed to do was support it. Then they fairly quietly release splitgate 2, then unlaunch it and they think anyone’s gonna play it now?

Really making FPSs great, huh.
It’s a shame, OG Splitgate was pretty fun when you weren’t in bot lobbies.

Honestly. Fuck this game. We never needed a sequel and the developer made a complete ass of himself.

Do you think it was actually his stupidity on stage or was the game just not worth it on it’s own merit? I’m genuinely asking… I never played 1 or 2.

Was it not doing well? One of my friend plays nightly and never seemed like it was in trouble

just like Multiversus

i got downvoted when i said the game was terrible 😂 ahhhh reddit

PS: if they’re still selling Microtransactions, it’s not a fucking beta.

Well that was quick. Barely a month and the games already “unlaunched”. Feel bad for the employees being let go because of the incompetence of the higher-ups.

The game never got my attention…
It looks like halo 2-3 without any of the charm !

I had actually been playing and enjoying it over the weekend. The gunplay is actually really good. But they’ve handled this terribly and is probably never coming back from this

Such a wild thing to pull these days, it has never worked. I don’t understand why they can’t keep it out while working on “improving” or whatever. Perhaps it’s just a politic way to pull the plug Concord-style.

Gave the game a shot during the beta. Reminded me of old Halo multiplayer which is a good thing. The CEO going on stage and embarrassing himself like that turned me away from playing it any further.

Maybe cater to your actual paying customers and not “critics” and “games journalists” lmao. Karma

I still don’t understand why the abandoned splitgate 1. It was a really fun game, but they just stopped supporting it and announced splitgate 2 which is a worse game in every single aspect
