The multiplayer shooter phenomenon Splitgate launches its Beta Season 1 on January 27: creation tool, game modes and new Battle Pass on the program!
Beta Season 1 level editor allows fans to co-create and share maps with friends
Splitgate is a nervous sci-fi multiplayer shooter that allows players to control portals to move quickly across the map. With more than 17 million downloads, the game caused a stir last year when it launched its open beta on Xbox and PlayStation, after a first release on PC.
Splitgate Beta Season 1 introduces a new comprehensive map creation tool that allows anyone to create, co-create and share their maps with friends. It is possible to create and arrange items, weapons, spawns, building blocks, gate walls and more. The assisted rotation and magnetism allow a simple hanging of the different objects to the decor. With its fully customizable controls and keyboard/mouse management, the creation tool is particularly accessible for all players.
“Our map creation tool will continue to evolve along with the rest of the game,” said Ian Proulx, CEO of 1047 Games. “We see this feature as a scalable, community-driven tool. It’s one more asset for fans to discover as soon as Season 1 launches, and we look forward to collecting feedback from the community on the new features and tools they want to see coming. »
Beta Season 1 also introduces a completely redesigned version of the Foregone Destructionmap. Beautiful and remarkably balanced, it has benefited from a special care that sets the tone for the direction that other cards will gradually take, while this dynamic will also benefit the new creations that will emerge in the future. The new Evolution mode fits perfectly into this new momentum: the team that lost the previous round is rewarded with improved weapon loadouts. One Flag Capture-the-Flag mode also makes its appearance. While one team is tasked with retrieving the flag, the other must defend it at all costs and the roles are reversed with each round. Evolution and One Flag Capture-the-Flag bring the number of available game modes to 21. To complete all this, the new Hotel card serves as a luxurious setting for 3-on-3 clashes in Takedown, Showdown or Evolution mode.
Fans will also enjoy the 100 new levels of the Battle Pass, which mix free and paid content allowing them to optimize their playstyle. New free weapon skins, such as the Epic Starlight Shotgun, formidable at close range, and the Rare Glitch Launcher, as effective as it is colorful, are appearing.
