SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded launches today, incorporating the best of the first two games for the updated portal-based shooter

From Press Release:

Zephyr Cove, NV (Dec 17, 2025) – 1047 Games returns to the arena with SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded, which launches today on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, Windows), PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. 1047 also unveiled a new launch video for the portal-based shooter’s next chapter, which features five new maps, four new weapons, improved performance, a new progression system, a generous new storefront and much more.

SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded combines the best of the rewarding DNA of the original Splitgate with the innovations of Splitgate 2, delivering the ultimate Splitgate experience. The new era of Splitgate celebrates its roots, eliminating factions and abilities while re-emphasizing the kinetic arena gameplay of classic modes like Team Deathmatch, Domination and King of the Hill. SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded also evolves the impressive movement mechanics and immersive visual worlds that distinguished Splitgate 2, delivering momentum and polish in every match.

Here’s a detailed look at what’s going live:

  • Abyss: The subterranean Splitgate fan favorite returns.
  • Oasis: The sun, the sand, the verticality. A port of Splitgate’s desert palm-tree playground.
