1047 Games has announced that it’ll be launching the Beta Season 1 of its popular FPS-with-portals, Splitgate on January 27.
The season will be headlined by the introduction of a custom map creator. Players will be able to create maps by creating and placing objects, weapons, spawns, portal walls and more. There’s rotation and magnetic snapping options, as well as controller, keyboard and mouse support for ease of use. Budding map creators will even be able to co-create and share their maps with friends.
In addition, Splitgate‘s Beta Season 1 also brings an overhaul of the Foregone Destruction map. 1047 say they intend to update the game’s other maps in a similar fashion in future updates. That joins another new map, named Hotel. There’s also a brand new Evolution Game Mode, where the losing team will get their guns upgraded. On top of that, there’s also a One Flag variation of the classic Capture the Flag mode.
A new season also means a brand new 100-level Battle Pass, filled with free and paid cosmetics and content. Expect characters, banners, sprays and much more in that. You can check out a short teaser video for the season below.
Splitgate enjoyed a very successful beta last summer. So much so, in fact, that 1047 Games decided to extend the beta indefinitely as it works to make sure the game gets to a standard they’re happy with. Splitgate Beta Season 1 arrives on January 27 for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 and PC.
