Splitgate 2 gameplay trailer showcases Factions based gameplay

The Splitgate 2 gameplay trailer introduces new Factions that are similar to Hero classes each having their own set of abilities. The three Factions in Splitgate 2 are Aeros, Sabrask, and Meridian. The Aeros are labeled as fast, agile, and portal masters, supporting fast movement that can provide an adrenaline rush to aggressive players.

The Aeros faction features the Rush ability which provides the character with a momentary boost. They also can do quick reloads with an enhanced fire rate that can help obtain quick eliminations. The faction is perfect for mechanically gifted players who can balance the movement as gunplay.

Splitagate has something for everyone. Those who prefer to play from the backlines can opt for the Meridian Faction, which is the healer class in the game. These are meant to be support characters as they have healing abilities to aid teammates during gunfights. This Faction also has a spotting ability called Hypersight, which can be used to detect multiple enemies for a limited time.

Hypersight reveals the real-time locations of enemies, their HP, and other critical info that can be used to outfrag opponents. The Meridian also has a special gadget called a Time Dome that enhances the character's fire rate, reload speed, and movement speed. It has the opposite effect on enemy players whenever they try and enter the proximity of the Time Dome.

The Sabrask Factions are the heavy hitters in Splitgate 2 who defend and frag by taking multiple enemies head-on. Their abilities include the Smart Wall, which is a pop-up shield that blocks incoming damage by stopping enemy bullets. It is a shoot-through shield that can be used to effectively counter opponents.

The Smart Wall can be used to hold positions and defend the team against opponents. Their sticky grenades are lethal projectiles that stick to surfaces and can be used in sync with the Smart Wall to blast enemies in close and long range.

The movement system is frequently highlighted in the Splitgate 2 gameplay trailer, with players praising its seamless navigation. Movement is a vital aspect of the game, and players can glide, jump with jetpacks, and roam freely across the map, all while utilizing Portals to elevate their gameplay experience.

Portals are one of the most important mechanics in Splitgate 2. They can be used to create gateways through highlighted enclosed surfaces on the map and used for quick escapes to create mind-bending plays. Portals were first introduced in Splitgate 1 and were seen once again in the Splitgate 2 gameplay trailer.

The Splitgate 2 gameplay trailer presents a more advanced version of the game, staying true to the core ethos of the original. Although a 2025 release is the most likely, the developer has not yet confirmed a particular release date for the game.
