Free-to-play multiplayer shooter Splitgate 2 has announced a release date, as well as teased a big surprise announcement for Summer Game Fest.

Currently in an open beta, the arena FPS with portals will make its full launch on 6th June 2025 — the same day that Geoff’s showcase kicks things off.

Developer 1047 Games is also promising a “massive surprise” which will make itself known during the presentation.

Exactly what that is remains to be seen, but the press release describes it as “the biggest part” of Splitgate 2.

Thus far, the game comprises numerous modes of multiplayer action across several playlists, with plenty of weapons and cosmetics to unlock, a battle pass to grind through — the usual. The game also features a map editor, which allows you to create your own levels and modes.

This big surprise sounds like it’ll add a major component to the game, and we’ll find out what it is on 6th June.

In the meantime, the team has released a cinematic trailer, which ends with a tease of the aforementioned surprise announcement. Could there be a story mode?

We’ll soon find out, anyway. Are you excited for the full launch of Splitgate 2 on PS5 and PS4? Tell us in the comments section below.
