Splitgate 2 is coming back to PS5 and PS4 very soon, and not only has it been given a total overhaul, it's also got a new name.

Now called Splitgate: Arena Reloaded, the free-to-play multiplayer FPS relaunches on 17th December 2025:

The above trailer showcases some gameplay before design director Josh Watson gives an overview of exactly what's changed since Splitgate 2 was reverted back to beta.

Here's a quick rundown of the major changes:

  • Removal of factions and character-based abilities
  • Overhauled progression and ranking systems
  • Five brand new maps and six "fully-reworked" maps
  • Four new weapons
  • New modes
  • Reduction in store prices and a simplified Battle Pass

In a nutshell, developer 1047 Games has seriously streamlined the game, leaning on feedback from the community to get it back in a good place.

The game didn't go down all that well when it first launched in June, so hopefully it's able to find its footing with this new iteration.
