Fans both new and old to the Splitgate universe are finally getting their hands on Splitgate 2‘s early playtest, and while they recognize the game as a shooter, it just isn’t feeling like the Splitgate of old yet.

Fearing for the worst, some fans of the franchise believe Splitgate 2 plays a whole lot more like every other class-based game and hero shooter right now and has moved away from what made it unique. The signs that the sequel would follow the generic hero shooter model were there early when the trailer was released but Splitgate fans held out hope that developer 1047 Games would maintain the series’ identity in its sequel.
