What to Expect in Splitgate 2’s Open Alpha Test

According to Nate Dern, Lead Writer at 1047 Games, in a PlayStation Blog post, the Open Alpha will feature crossplay and introduce a new 24-player mode called Multi-Team Portal Warfare. This mode pits three teams of eight against each other on *Splitgate*‘s largest map to date, allowing players to explore new weapons, perks, and equipment, all while experiencing the game's signature frenetic gameplay.

The original *Splitgate* won hearts with its unique portal mechanics, enabling players to pull off mind-blowing outplays and trickshots by creating rifts and emerging from portals at unexpected angles. *Splitgate 2* aims to build on this foundation, introducing new classes or factions with distinctive abilities while keeping the beloved portal mechanic at its core. Dern highlighted that both internal and external feedback have been instrumental in crafting this sequel into a standout experience in the FPS genre.
