To say that the launch of Splitgate 2 didn’t go as planned would be an understatement. However, following a massive revamp, 1047 Games’ Splitgate: Arena Reloaded is now available, offering the best of both titles without any factions or abilities.
On Steam, the response has been a notable improvement over Splitgate 2’s recent months, peaking at 2,297 concurrent players on release. Sadly, it’s a ways off from the former’s launch, which hit 25,785 players. While the overall rating remains “Mixed,” at least the recent reviews are “Mostly Positive” with 76 percent of 540 users recommending it.
Of course, Splitgate: Arena Reloaded is also available for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PS4, so perhaps the console numbers will help make up the disparity.
Other notable features in the relaunch include the return of pickups (such as Legendary Weapons and power-ups), Classic Arena with each player having the same starting loadout, an overhauled progression system, five new maps and much more. There’s also a new Power Weapon – the Railgun – and three new Light Machine Guns – the Velocity, Barrage and Strata. Head here for more details.
