What to Expect in Splitgate 2’s Open Alpha Test
In an interview with the PlayStation Blog, Lead Writer Nate Dern of 1047 Games outlined the features players can expect during the Open Alpha. The test will feature crossplay, enabling seamless multiplayer experiences across different platforms. A highlight of the Alpha will be the new 24-player mode called Multi-Team Portal Warfare, where three teams of eight players will clash on *Splitgate*’s largest map to date. Players will have the chance to try out new weapons, perks, and equipment amidst the chaos.
What made the original *Splitgate* so popular was its unique portal mechanics, allowing for breathtaking outplays and trickshots through dynamically created rifts. *Splitgate 2* will not only maintain this beloved feature but enhance it with new classes or factions equipped with unique abilities. According to Dern, the game's foundation has been meticulously shaped by both internal and external feedback, aiming to set a new standard in the FPS genre.
