Last January 20, 1047 Games invited MP1st to a preview event for Season 1 of their portal-based arena shooter Splitgate. While the event did not feature a direct hands-on for the press, it did show off a number of the amazing things players will get to see in Season 1 of Splitgate, with many of it being community-driven focused that will surely please the player base. Ian Proulx, CEO of 1047 Games, presented the preview, and here is a compilation of the new stuff you’ll see later today in Splitgate Beta Season 1.
Splitgate Beta Season 1 Preview:
New maps that fit the game’s themes
The preview event kicked off with Proulx welcoming new art directors and other talents for Splitgate, with some of them coming from prestigious titles like Valorant, Destiny, and Halo. Two of the art directors, according to Proulx, were given one map each, and were told to make the best map possible with the team with no rush at all needed. You can check out one of the maps below called Foregone.
One of the things players will tend to notice is the massive lighting improvements, in addition to that massive energy dome in the distance. Proulx mentions that a big part of the new maps were its “thematic,” with them staying true to the whole Red vs. Blue concept that Splitgate strives for.
The footage also includes gameplay within the new map, showcasing new weapon skins for Season 1’s upcoming Battle Pass. The gameplay was also tuned, as Proulx emphasizes the community-driven efforts to fine-tune the game as time goes on.
Evolution, a ‘Gun Game’ mode for Splitgate
If you find yourself craving the Gun Game mode from Counter-Strike or Gun Master from Battlefield, then you’re in for a treat, as Proulx announced Splitgate’s own version which is called Evolution. Splitgate, however, has put its own twist within it. Starting off as a variant of Showdown in which 3 versus 3 players cannot respawn, Evolution takes it to the next level by changing the loadouts with every round. The catch is that the losing team will get better loadouts in the next round, making it harder for the winning team to keep their streak. The goal is to secure six rounds first with a clear disadvantage in the form of weaker loadouts. Check out gameplay from Evolution below:
Compared to Gun Game, where the gain a kill with all the guns in rotation, Evolution asks players to try and be creative with weaker loadouts for as long as they can. It’s an interesting dynamic that is sure to keep players on their toes and will certainly be one of the most exciting modes once Season 1 for Splitgate Beta finally releases.
Proulx also briefly touched upon a game mode currently in development called ‘One Flag CTF,’ which solves the issues for CTF (capture the flag) in a game with portals. While no footage of this mode was shown, Proulx was excited to share the details of this new mode which was the results of several experiments. The way it works is that there’s only one flag in two to three-minute rounds, with one team on offence and the other on defense. However, the player with the flag cannot use portals, meaning that they are reduced to sprinting and running back with the flag, leaving it to their teammates to strategize on how to best protect them.
Ranked Season rewards, new cosmetics, and new Battle Pass
A big question that frequently comes up for Splitgate is its competitive streak, and for Season 1 of the beta 1047 Games has laid out their framework for Ranked Season rewards for players willing to sweat it out against some of the game’s best players. Proulx has stated that these rewards were partially inspired by the one in Rocket League. Proulx showed off some of the referral rewards players can get by referring other players to Splitgate, with different levels comparable to a Battle Pass as you refer more and more friends to the game.
Of course, with a new Season comes a new Battle Pass, and Proulx showed off some of the corresponding rewards that came with the 100 levels players can attain. With these new rewards, much like the new maps, Proulx hopes that they can be “thematically consistent” with the feel and vibe of the game. However, it does not mean that the studio will be averse to the goofy and fun skins, so players who like to go wild with their cosmetics will still have the chance to do so.
Custom Map Creator, the highlight of Season 1
1047 Games has saved the best for last, as they finally introduced the basics of Splitgate’s custom map creator which is coming in Season 1. Proulx highlights their ‘community-driven’ mentality once again, and with the custom map creator, the studio hopes to bring player creativity out and allow them to really enjoy Splitgate on another level. On the studio’s relationship with the community, Proulx had this to say:
Our mentality with every feature we do is we want to get it into the hands of our community as quickly as possible. As soon as we have that Version 1.0 of a feature, we’re putting it out there, because instead of us building on what we think players would want, we’d rather put it in their hands, get their feedback, and build it alongside them. So, that’s really indicative of how we’re going about our map creator.
Despite the map creator being basically a version 1.0, Proulx guarantees that it’s a powerful tool which players can use to make lots of crazy things. You can check out footage of the map creator in action below:
The map creator allows you to tinker around with various stuff and modes, as well as simultaneous map creation with a couple of friends. According to Proulx, up to eight people can build one map at the same time. There are also what Proulx refers to as “map support bots,” which allows the players to test their maps on their own if they don’t have the people to test it with. Check out screenshots of the map creator UX below:
Custom maps can also be played without delay immediately once uploaded onto a server, allowing players from across the world to join and play your map. They can also save your creation if they enjoyed it.
‘[Splitgate Beta] Season 1 is the start of our journey into becoming a AAA studio’
Proulx ends the presentation with their vision for Splitgate moving forward, which is for the title to be a AAA game owing to its success and with the massive backing that 1047 Games now possess. He states:
We’re in a great spot, we really, really feel like this is step one of what’s to come, and just kind of a small taste of the direction we’re headed in as we ramp up. Another thing I’ll highlight is we’ve hired about 50 people now, and that’s been really great for us… A lot of these people are still ramping up, most of them have started in the last few months, we really feel like we’re starting to turn into a well-oiled machine… The team is just very, very close-knit, everybody’s excited, and it’s really been fun to see just as people get ramped up, and how efficient in the quality we’ve been able to produce. That’s only going to continue.
As for what players can expect from Season 1 and beyond, Proulx states that “more modes and playlist options” are on the table, and with these comes the return of fan favorites like One in the Chamber to the regular playlist rotation. Besides this, 1047 Games promises that “there’s a lot more to come,” with the community at the forefront of the direction Splitgate will be heading into.
Splitgate Beta Season 1 is releasing today, January 27, on PC and consoles. Huge thanks for 1047 Games for inviting MP1st to this hands-off preview.
Ah yes, finally the end of the month, and what better way to close it off than with another weekly challenges in Battlefield 2042? Yup, they’re live now! Here’s all the requirements to unlock the Battlefield 2042 Weekly Reset Challenge #8 (Jan 27 – Feb 3) reward.
How to Unlock the Battlefield 2042 Weekly Reset Challenge #8 (Jan 27 – Feb 3) Reward: Adapt Predator for 12M Auto shotgun.
20 Enemies killed with Marksman and Sniper Rifles – Reward 5000 XP
100 Enemies disrupted with EMP or spotted – Reward 5000 XP
5 Enemies killed in melee – Reward 5000 XP
This week’s challenge is a little bit more challenging than previous ones, especially for those who aren’t all familiar with how snipers work (though a Marksman weapon will be better suited). Thankfully, you can complete these challenges via solo against bots. Earning 5 enemies kills with melee should be easy enough in this

If you want to play Ark Survival Evolved but find that you can’t connect to the servers, it’s not you but the game itself! Studio Wildcard has prompted the Ark Survival Evolved down time for its servers this January 27, and this is for planned maintenance. Check out the schedule and long list of affected servers below.
Ark Survival Evolved Down January 27 Schedule and Affected Servers:
The Mortal Kombat movie sequel is officially moving forward, with Moon Knight series writer Jeremy Slater writing the script for the follow up to last year’s live-action reboot.
First reported by Deadline, New Line Cinema is moving forward with the sequel to last year’s reboot film, which was directed by Simon McQuoid and starring a diverse cast that included Lewis Tan, Hiroyuki Sanada, Joe Taslim, and Chin Han. The studio has tapped Slater to write the story for the sequel, with his credits including the 2015 Fantastic Four film reboot, The Exorcist TV series, Netflix’s Umbrella Academy series, and the upcoming Moon Knight series by Marvel Studios that will stream on Disney+ this March.
Based on the popular fighting game series that began life in arcades in 1992, Mortal Kombat was created by Ed Boon and John Tobias and tells the story of multiple fighters and warriors who fight in a tournament and are able to deliver finishing moves called fatalities after successfully beating their opponent in a match. The first live-action film released in 1995 was directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and starred Robin Shou as Liu Kang, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa as Shang Tsung, and Christopher Lambert as Rayden. The film would become a commercial success, but would get a lackluster sequel in 1997 with Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, which was a failure in the box office. After more than twenty years, the film series was rebooted in 2021 with the new film. which was inspired by the new set of Mortal Kombat games developed by NetherRealm Studios.
While it will be a long wait until we get more details and release date for the Mortal Kombat movie sequel, the video game series is still going strong with Mortal Kombat 11 selling over 12 million units worldwide last year. NetherRealm has stopped support for the game, and moving foward to their next project, which we’re presuming is Mortal Kombat 12.

What a big day it is for Planetside 2 players, as after seven long years, Rogue Games has finally released a new full scale continent. Introducing Planetside 2 Expedition Oshur, a new continent set to not only bring air and ground warfare, but for the first time in the game, sea battles.
Down below you’ll find a breakdown of some of the highlights from this new update as well as new screenshots.
TWO MAJOR FACILITIES
Two new base archetypes, called “Facilities” are introduced: the Interlink Outpost and Trident Relay. The Interlink Outpost is a small, cover-dense infantry arena with narrow points of entry and exit. The Trident Relay is a tall spire with combat taking place high above the seabed, aircraft are required to reach and assault this facility.
WATER-BASED WARFARE
Functional water comes to PlanetSide 2 for the first time, allowing for a new dimension of gameplay above and beneath.
Every vehicle, player, and projectile has been re-engineered to work with these new mechanics.
CAMPAIGN MISSIONS
The last chapter of the second Campaign focuses on the return to Oshur, an island evacuated in the early days of the Auraxian War. This chapter will bring players to hidden locations around the map and help players acclimate to the new water mechanics.

Update: Post has been updated to reflect the changes by Bethesda.
Funcom has released the Conan Outcasts update 1.56 patch this January 26, and this one is for Server Queue features and more! Head on down below for the complete patch notes.

Fixed an issue that could cause the game to crash after starting a coop game.
Fixed an issue that would cause rain to affect performance significantly.
Fixed a number of exploits regarding stamina consumption and undermeshing.
It should no longer be possible to place fence foundations too close to each other by exploiting building mechanics. Read more about this fix in this separate post 23.

New UI elements now show your queued status, as well as your position in the queue.
Two new server settings have been added to control this new feature: EnableLoginQueue (default True), and DisconnectionGraceTime (default 180, in seconds).

Fixed a rare issue where thralls would remain in a state where they could not attack nor get attacked under specific circumstances.
You asked, we delivered: The ranged attack of Spitting Spiders has now been fixed and your nightmares can finally be fueled from a distance. Other ranged creatures have also been fixed, but they are not as terrifying as Spitting Spiders are they.
Mammoths now rotate in a less janky way.
Shaggai Horror pets now have a projectile for their ranged attack.
Rhinos should no longer moonwalk out of combat, probably making this the most sad and disappointing patchnote line since the potion of endowment nerf.
NPCs should no longer move when performing ranged attacks.

Thralls should now be able to engage with giant enemies correctly, instead of getting confused at the complex concept of a straight line.

Replacing a building piece will now give you back the piece if it is at full health, or the equivalent dismantle materials if the piece is damaged.
Swapped the input mapping when using bows with a controller to be more intuitive. You now aim with the left trigger, and shoot with the right trigger. A new setting lets you use the old system (“Invert Bow Controls”).
Khitai Scout Saddle should now show the correct colors.
