“We believe in Splitgate 2. This game means everything for us – this is our life for almost 10 years, starting in our room in the dormitory, and we are more involved in ensuring the amazing experience you deserve. We heard your opinion and we agree with you: we started too early. We had ambitious goals from Splitgate 2 and we were excited about sharing them with you, we bit more than we could chew. We hurried some functions, made errors with bone thickness, and most importantly-we did not give you a refined, full of chaos portal where you fell in love.

We go back to beta. We will be at the beginning of next year, rebuilding the main parts of the game to capture the spirit of what made Splitgate unique. This means that rewriting progress from scratch, adding more portals to our maps, simplifying monetization, focusing on the classic game modes that you asked, and more, which we will soon share.

Now we need your facilitate more than ever. We return not only to our roots in what we build, but also in how we build them – with you. This means more tests, more surveys, more listening and truly being a community. Our goal is to combine the DNA of the first game with the best improvements from the second.

Rebuilding basic experience is not a quick solution; This is a long -term commitment. To give ourselves time to build Splitgate you deserve, we made an extremely challenging decision to reduce certain roles and move our resources to focus on this processing. This is painful. These are our teammates and our friends and helped build what we have today. They receive briefing and support in the workplace, and we commit ourselves to do everything in our power to facilitate them in this transition. We hope that we will bring them when we can.

Trying to stop as many team members as possible, we will close the OG Splitgate servers in a month. Although we would like to keep the servers online forever, it has cost us hundreds of thousands of dollars in the last few years and we must prioritize our team. Like us, we know that this game means a lot for many of you, which is why we are investigating the ability to support offline or peer-to-peer matches. And when we come back, we plan to have a dedicated experience in Splitgate 2, which gives the promise of the original.

In the meantime, Splitgate 2 will remain possible to play And we will continue to send Chapter 3, as well as corrections and changes in high priority. We hope you will continue to play and support the game. As always, please keep your opinion. We had many obscure days and we made many mistakes, but we learned a lot and we are determined as always to make Splitgate to be as possible. Spliting has been our life for 10 years and we wouldn’t have it in any other way. We have a job to do, but we don’t give up. We love this game and we love this community very much to ever give up. So we won’t. “
