- Come to more platforms
Moreover, the studio is already looking out for more talent to fill its ranks!
Moving On From Beta
While Splitgate still isn’t out of beta, the game has definitely grown on many. With its unique fast-paced Halo-Esque combat, it’s no wonder that many saw potential in the game.
With the expansion of the development team, we can expect the game’s roadmap to look a lot more cluttered in the upcoming months.
