Reactions to Splitgate 2’s gameplay reveal have been a mixed bag for fans that loved the original. It’s great to see the game evolve, but many worry it might end up as just another hero shooter. 

Splitgate 2 revealed its gameplay in a nearly five-minute trailer today, diving into many of the things that will (hopefully) make this sequel worth switching over to. Perhaps the biggest change is the class system the new game comes with. As FPS streamer and Apex Legends pro iiTzTimmy put it, Splitgate 2 is “no longer just portaling and gunplay. It’s factions, comboing with utility, and abilities.” But outside of the hype some fans have for the new title, many commenters were pleading for the game not to become a hero shooter.
