1047 Games raises $6.5M to develop free-to-play shooter Splitgate

1047 Games has raised $6.5 million to for further development of its free-to-play, Portal-like shooter game Splitgate.

Based remotely and in Zephyr Cove, Nevada, the game studio already launched Splitgate in early beta form in 2019 to positive reception. The game enables players to run around in a sci-fi environment and place portals, which can be used to instantly move to another portal in the same environment. That mechanic gives players a lot of tactical maneuvers to outwit opponents in a multiplayer game.
