Splitgate to discontinue active development as 1047 Games looks to focus on new free-to-play title
Splitgate fans ran into a bit of unfortunate news earlier today when developer 1047 Games announced that it would be discontinuing active development of the title to focus on a new game.
The announcement came a couple of hours ago. The developers provided an official statement on Twitter regarding the matter. While Splitgate’s active development is being discontinued, the game's servers are going to remain online and will receive occasional patches.
1047 Games' statement on Twitter had this to say about the shooter:
The developers further talked about how the game was primarily made with just a handful of people. They did not anticipate the success the title would garner or how massive the game would be once it was launched. Hence, after trying to update Splitgate to fit the situation, 1047 Games will now be directing its attention to a new project that will be set in the same universe and developed using Unreal Engine 5.

The next title that the developers will be working on is going to be free-to-play as well as a shooter featuring portals. This is something 1047 Games fans were quite excited to learn about.
The developers have also mentioned that players will get to enjoy all the features the title currently offers for the foreseeable future.
Regarding the future of the shooter title, 1047 Games said:
