The free FPS game "Split Gate 2" has added another dramatic twist today, and the developer announced that the work will be returned to the test stage.After this summer game festival caused a stir because developers wore the hat "make FPS great again", 1047 Games said in a statement that the team will "work hard until early next year to rebuild the core of the game to reproduce the essence of the first generation."
“We heard the feedback from players and agreed with this view: we were too hasty,” the statement, which was only more than a month after the end of the test, read."We have great ambitions for "Split Gate 2", but we are eager to achieve success and backfire. Some functions rushed have made some stupid mistakes. The most important thing is that we failed to present the carefully polished and portal-fighting world that you love."
Cruel, the game's failure brought bad news of layoffs.1047 said that "an extremely difficult decision was made: the studio will reduce some of its positions and concentrate resources on reconstruction", because "rebuilding the core experience is by no means a matter of day and night."“It’s heartbreaking,” the statement stressed. “These colleagues are our comrades and partners in creating today’s achievements. The company will provide resignation compensation and reemployment support, fully assisting them through the difficulties and looking forward to joining hands again in the future.”
In order to save more jobs, 1047 announced that it will close the first Splitgate server next month, adding to the haze today's announcement.“While we are eager to keep servers running permanently, this has cost hundreds of thousands of dollars over the past two years and must prioritize the survival of the team,” the statement explained. “We know the meaning of this game to many players and are exploring the feasibility of offline mode or peer-to-peer online. When we return, Split Gate 2 will deliver on the exclusive experience promised by the first generation.”
The glimmer of hope is that "Split Gate 2" can still be played during the reconstruction period, the third chapter of the game is still being updated, and the repair and optimization work of the existing version will continue.
