It's been a while since the official release of Splitgate 2, and it’s far away from becoming a successful title, at least on PC. Historically, the game’s concurrent player record came in early June, when the game reached 25,674 concurrent players.
This new season is expected to bring fresh updates, new content, and several new ways to improve your portal-shooting skills.
Whether you like Splitgate 2 for its gunplay, sci-fi aesthetics, or portal-based combat, the upcoming chapter 2 will definitely have something that'll make the game more interesting. Continue with our hub, as it will be covering everything you need to know about this upcoming chapter in Splitgate 2.
When does Splitgate 2 Season 1 Chapter 2 start?
Splitgate 2 Season 1 Chapter 2 will officially start on July 3, 2025. The launch of this new chapter will be a major step in the ongoing seasonal rollout, and the developers expect that this will attract both returning and new players.
This new chapter will drop a few weeks after the game's peak in early June, which had over 25,000 concurrent players. Currently, the numbers have significantly declined, especially on PC, but 1047 Games expects that this update will reignite player interest across all platforms.
New Ranked Arena Mode
The main highlight of this Season 1 Chapter 2 is the addition of Ranked Arena, a new competitive mode where players can put their talents to test in regulated, high-stakes matches. With ranks to climb and matchmaking focused on fairness, this new addition is expected to make the game fun for the most dedicated players.
While the exact details are still unknown, we can also expect leaderboards, matchmaking refinements, and potentially exclusive ranked rewards.
Mastery Camos
Mastery Cameos is another addition that'll reward time and skill invested in specific weapons or playstyles. These cosmetics will act as a visual badge of honor, motivating players to practice and perfect their preferred loadouts.
New Map
A new map will also be introduced in this Chapter 2. While details on the layout and theme of this map remain limited, it's expected to include fresh traversal options, map-specific strategies, and the vertical gameplay that fans love.
New content & Battle Pass
Apart from all these new cosmetics, weekly unlocks, and a Chapter 2 Battle Pass with event-specific goodies and advancement routes are also expected. If you have been grinding the Chapter 1 Battle Pass, you can still purchase this and complete it until Chapter 3 starts. Also, any tickets you earn will be carried over for now.
