The GOLIATH HEAVY PISTOL is a gun for CHAMPIONS GLORY TO MARS The KING of sidearms, this gun will delete your enemies faster than their tears and blood stain the red surface of MARS GLORY TO MARS Sabrask is the most chad faction in Splitgate Universe, and it is only fitting that such a chad faction get the chad pistol . GLORY TO MARS Look at that Aeros over there! What are you gonna do, run away ? Have a .357 in the teeth ! GLORY TO MARS Meriddy ain't sh*t , they ain't gonna see anything with their wall hacks after I hit em with good ol' Sabrask POCKET SAND and then a lil bim-bam-bap from the GOLIATH GLORY TO MARS SPACE COWBOYS ARE FOREVER

Hi this is 100% false. First off, the art in the comic was outsourced by a few comic book artists that we contracted, not us (we don’t have comic book artists in house). If it’s AI (which I don’t think it is), then we were scammed by those artists and lied to.

Either way, we aren’t using AI and the comic books are discontinued regardless.

Thank you to everyone who played in the Open Alpha. It was a huge success and we had a blast playing with you all!

This alpha had incredibly positive feedback and the best retention we have ever seen, and that's largely due to all of the helpful feedback we have received from you the community over the past 6 months.

The team is energized by the community’s excitement for the game and we remain committed to building something for our players to enjoy for years to come.

For now, we’d love to have you share your feedback here: https://survey.alchemer.com/s3/8118698/aa6334a698c1

Stay tuned as we continue to make adjustments based on your feedback and get ready for launch! We wouldn't be here without you. <3

PS This isn’t even half...

The AMA is over, thanks for all your great questions! I tried to answer as many as I could and I made sure to get to all the top upvoted ones sorted by "best" and "Q&A." I really appreciate all the feedback and support. Keep it coming and we will keep listening and iterating accordingly. Can't wait for you all to see what else we have in store! This game is only going to get a lot bigger and better :)

Will you guys have collaborations with brands, other games or artists for cosmetics?

Maybe in the future, but right now we are just focused on making a fun game with cool cosmetics that fit our lore and art style!

Do we get any special badge or cosmetic in the final game for participating in the Open Alpha? Do we get anything for maxing out a character's level in the Open Alpha?

Yes! We have a skin for everyone who participated in the alpha (but not for maxing out, given that the alpha is a short window). We also are doing twitch drops right now where you can get an Aeros Carbine skin, and of course we have the Hunt the Devs skins that you get for killing devs (if you don't get it this time though, we plan to bring back this event in the future so don't worry). All skins you get in Alpha, will carry over to the final game.

Hey Ian are you going to be adding a 120fps setting for the Xbox series consoles and ps5 consoles for splitgate 2? Please add 120fps setting to splitgate 2 for xbox series consoles and ps5 consoles please

Yes! Didn't have it ready for Alpha but we are still working on a number of optimizations (for PC as well), and this includes 120fps support for PS5 and XBOX Series X. We also are working on some ways to reduce input lag.

How deep are you looking to go with cosmetics?Can you speak on that? Will there be earnable and grindable character outfits and cosmetics? The ability to grind for something exclusive to dedicated people keeps longevity so I’m looking forward to an answer.

We will have a future blogpost discussing our liveops and cosmetics strategy. But yes there will be some cosmetics for purchase and some that are grindable. I will say, I think our cosmetics are some of the best in the industry! I can't wait for you all to see our amazing characters and gun skins :) Our art team is actually cracked. Our Lead Weapons Artist was the Lead Weapons Artist for COD and our Associate Art Director worked on many of the characters and guns for Valorant!

Always hated FPS games, but this one really brings a shine to the genre. Will there be any additional factions or weapons added to loadouts? Also wondering if you made the Aces a bit squisher than the original splitgate :3
Can't wait for this game to be fully released with all the goodies ^_^

Answered this on another thread in more detail but TLDR is more guns yes, more factions probably not. Not sure what you mean by squisher but if you are asking about TTK, it is balanced to be more or less the same as SG1. Thanks for the kind words!

What kind of game support planed? Battlepass? Events? New maps/guns once in a while? I think regular seasonal updates with lots of new stuff is the key for a long-lasting game.

Will there be ranked game on release?

All of that and more

Love the games you've made. They really scratch an itch that I've been wanting for a long time! So, my question comes from a place of love and curiosity.

Why make Splitgate 2? I'm honestly curious about the business side of the decision to make sequels to games that completely replace the first game in the franchise.

As a consumer, 20 years from now (providing things like splitgate, counter strike and overwatch are still live), we will just have a sea of games called "(Title) 2" with the previous games nowhere to be seen.

What was your reason for calling it Splitgate 2 and not just marketing the heck out of a game overhaul?

CS2, for example, is literally the same game and Overwatch, even though they fundamentally changed the format of the game, the gameplay is basically the same as it's always been. I don't see the harm in the complaints being "i miss the old Overwatch" versus "I miss Overwatch 1." Because as the consumer there is to difference t...

Thank you! I really appreciate the kind words.

There were a number of reason we made Splitgate 2 instead of iterating on Splitgate 1. At a high level, our goal is to build the best shooter in the world, and one that as many gamers as possible can enjoy. We felt like pivoting to Splitgate 2 would get us there for a few reasons (not in any particular order):

  1. Splitgate 1 started as a school project. This meant the way we built things were not super scalable because we were still learning when we started. This is part of the reason our servers weren't able to scale well. But also the codebase wasn't built in a way that worked well for liveops or for larger teams all working on the same game at the same time. We have since redone the entire backend and basically re-architected all of our codebase to make iterating faster and servers more scalable.
  2. SG1 was in UE4. We wanted to be in UE5 to have the best engine possible to set ourselves up for long ter...

Not ready to chat specific future modes, but I will say this: Takedown was my favorite mode in Splitgate 1. And I spent 70% of my time playing ranked modes. And the good news is I am in charge of making this game! And obviously I want to make a game that is full of stuff I love playing ;)

Game crashes on the steam deck after every game. Is that being looked into?

It hasn't been a priority yet, but it will be good to go by launch!

Any chance to bring back the comics in some way? I noticed you guys took down the Splitgate 2 companion app, and myself and others was really looking forward to see the 5th comic to come.

TBH no. The app and comics are something I was never really a fan of and did not meet my vision. We have brought in new marketing leadership who I have been personally working very closely with to make sure everything we do in marketing, matches my vision for the game. You can consider the comics not canon to our lore. That said, there is a world that we make an entirely new app post launch, but it would be very different. I think Destiny is a great example of what a companion app should look like.
