In Possessor(s) you will play as Luca, a high-schooler trapped in the ruins of Sanzu City. Professor Foss was one of her teachers.

Portals. Change. Everything. 

ZEPHYR COVE, NV (June 6, 2025) – The wait is over as the highly anticipated free-to-play sci-fi online portal shooter Splitgate 2 officially launches on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One today. The follow-up to 2021’s viral FPS hit, Splitgate 2 arrives as the most robust online sci-fi shooter available after developer and publisher 1047 Games surprise-unveiled an enormous Battle Royale mode at Summer Game Fest, now playable as part of Splitgate 2’s official launch today (https://www.splitgate.com/).

Blending FPS mechanics with game-changing portals, Splitgate 2 launches with tons of modes across tons of maps, tons of new weapons and (you never saw this one coming) an all-new Battle Royale mode. 

Splitgate 2’s surprise Battle Royale mode, Splitgate: Battle Royale, features:

• 60-Player Showdowns: Each match challenges 15 teams of four to work together while shutting down the competition to emerge from no-holds-barred firefights as the lone winner.
• An Expansive, Interconnected Map: Matches are hosted on Split Worlds, a gigantic colosseum with five unique biomes linked by massive World Portals allowing teams to get the jump on their competition.
• Choose where to drop in across Drought’s scorching desert, Glacier’s slick snowscape, Inferno’s active volcano, or Fracture’s cluster of asteroids. After landing, players who stay in the match long enough will gain access to a fifth biome – the central area of Sanctum’s foreboding ruins, which offers special, powerful loot for those who can survive sparring to get it.
• Strategy Shifting Events: Mid-match scenarios challenge teams to think quick and adapt even quicker, like the Portal EMP Event’s shutdown of portaling or the Drop Frenzy Event’s tide-turning upswing in the frequency of Air Drops.
• Immense Variety and Replayability: With lootable chests, chances for eliminated players to return to the fray, and events preventing matches from playing out the same way twice, Splitgate: Battle Royale revitalizes the classic thrills of battle royale with Splitgate 2’s distinctly thrilling portal-based FPS action.

In addition to Splitgate: Battle Royale, the launch of Splitgate 2 also brings the debut of:

• All-new maps: Academy, Grit, Sanctum and Simulation Hectic
• A new water-themed map creator template

A hard-hitting new power weapon, the Gravitas shotgun

With plans to also implement mastery challenges and ranked mode in the coming weeks, as well as new maps, POI changes, map reskins, and other surprises, Splitgate 2‘s remarkable offering will continue to grow as 1047 advances Splitgate 2’s post-launch content roadmap (https://x.com/splitgate/status/1923408104030449986).

Splitgate 2 is the ultimate vision of the game come to life: from its humble beginnings in a college dorm room to a fully fledged global studio with creative talent from the most legendary video games ever created.

The game’s multiplayer first-person combat puts players immediately into portal-hopping movement across three unique factions. Set far into the future as humanity’s ultimate sport, the game grants players the ability to choose their faction and progress based on their preferred gameplay style or competitive strategies, while a large variety of arenas, weapons and modes keep things fresh. You can join the fight at any skill level – alone or with friends. 

“Splitgate 2 is the realization of what we always wanted the original Splitgate to be,” said Ian Proulx, co-founder and CEO of 1047 Games. “When Nick and I started 1047 Games, we had nothing but a really good idea and a small, rough playable demo of the idea I had created as a class project. We are beyond excited for today’s launch and we hope our fans love it too. This is still just the beginning – we have a lot of plans for content post-launch.”

You are Kyle Crane. After being captured by the Baron and enduring his painful experiments for years, you escape. Left on the edge of humanity with both human and zombie DNA, you struggle to control your inner beast and the conflict that comes with it. But you’ll need to, if you want to get your revenge on the man who did this to you.

A unique blend of open world and action survival horror, Dying Light: The Beast is set in the beautiful, yet dangerous valley of Castor Woods that’s now overrun with zombies rather than tourists. To take your former captor down, you’ll need to form fragile alliances, as well as utilize all the combat and traversal options in your arsenal.

But be careful: out here, each step is a fight for survival, especially once the sun sets and the tension heightens as the true horrors come out at night!

HALF BEAST, HALF SURVIVOR

Become Kyle Crane, a unique hero with the DNA of a survivor… and a beast. Switch between two playstyles and experience a fierce inner conflict between man and monster, leading to the ultimate embrace of unstoppable strength.

PRIMAL BRUTALITY

Take the raw savagery of Dying Light’s combat to the extreme and push brutality beyond human limits as you crush skulls, rip heads off, and tear enemies in half as you struggle to control our hero’s constantly evolving, rage-fueled, beast-like powers.

OWN THE DAY, FEAR THE NIGHT

A signature of the Dying Light series – the two vastly different experiences of day and night merge into one unforgettable whole. Scavenge and explore by day, mindful of the constant tension of the moving clock – as when the sun sets, the night unleashes horrors that leave you with only three choices: run, hide, or fight for your life.

RUN THE ROOFTOPS, RULE THE ROADS

Feel the rush of best-in-class first-person parkour as you jump from rooftop to rooftop and climb over any obstacle using a movement system accessible to all, yet rewarding to those who master it. Then take the wheel of an off-road vehicle and plow through hordes of zombies, enjoying the unparalleled freedom of open world traversal.

BEAUTIFUL ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE

Breathtaking next-gen visuals bring the handcrafted zombie apocalypse to life, where every detail tells a story of survival. Get lost in the majesty of the Swiss Alps-inspired valley of Castor Woods with various biomes – the touristic town, the industrial area, the national park, farm fields, the swamps – all full of beauty… and decay.

SHARE THE ADVENTURE

Band together in up to 4-player co-op to take on the dangers of Castor Woods, where every fight, every discovery and every twisting step of the story can be faced as a group. Use shared progression to conquer the entire adventure side by side, as you face relentless enemies, scavenge for resources and save each other from the brink of death.

Join Scott Pilgrim, Ramona Flowers and more in an epic Brawling Adventure across space, time and the streets of Toronto

MONTREAL (June 6, 2025) – Tribute Games, in collaboration with Universal Products & Experiences and Scott Pilgrim creator Bryan Lee O’Malley, revealed today an all-new, action-packed video game entry into the Scott Pilgrim universe, Scott Pilgrim EX. Fusing retro-inspired pixel art with chaotic four-player co-op combat, the game sends players on a wild, time-warped brawling adventure across a reimagined Toronto. Scott Pilgrim EX is expected to launch for PC and consoles in early 2026. Wishlist now at: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2640950/Scott_Pilgrim_EX

Scott Pilgrim EX reimagines the fan-favorite universe with a modern approach to traditional brawlers. Players take on the role of Scott Pilgrim, Ramona Flowers and more of the all-star crew to battle a variety of enemies in a warped version of Toronto overrun by demons, vegan henchmen and robots in an epic quest to save the city.

With hard-hitting combat and explosive art, Scott Pilgrim EX reinvents classic 2D brawling for a new era, blending high-energy action with fun character progression. Each of the seven playable characters features a full move set from the start, but players can customize their experience through upgradeable stats, and equippable special items making every fighter feel truly personal. Players will be able to dive into a brand-new storyline, co-written by Bryan Lee O’Malley and the team at Tribute Games. They can also unleash creative combos, wield wild weapons, and brawl through co-op action—set to all-new music by Anamanaguchi —as Scott Pilgrim EX delivers a bold new chapter for longtime fans and newcomers alike.

Reuniting key talent from across the Scott Pilgrim multiverse and timeline, the Scott Pilgrim EX creative team is bringing the band back together and includes:

• Bryan Lee O’Malley, the creator of Scott Pilgrim, is deeply involved in the project as a creative consultant. Working closely with Tribute’s narrative and design teams, O’Malley is helping to shape an all-new original story that expands the Scott Pilgrim universe in bold, unexpected ways—infusing every frame, character arc, and twist with his signature voice and humor.
• Known for their explosive blend of 8-bit and hyper-melodic rock, Anamanaguchi returns to their roots after scoring the hit 2010 game, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game. This score will include several all-new tracks specially designed and curated for this Toronto-hopping adventure.
• Iconic pixel artist Paul Robertson collaborates with Tribute’s in-house team on character animations.
• BenDavid Grabinski, director and showrunner of Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, joins as creative consultant.

“Scott Pilgrim EX is the culmination of years of experience working on brawlers combined with our intimate knowledge of Scott Pilgrim,” said Jonathan Lavigne, game director at Tribute Games. “It’s a full-circle moment for us. The original founders of Tribute Games all worked on the first video game incarnation of Scott Pilgrim before launching the studio in 2011. Coming back to this world feels like the most natural thing ever. This game is about friendship, our love of video games, music, and hitting robots in the face with a volleyball.

About Scott Pilgrim

Scott Pilgrim is a genre-defying cult classic that has grown into a beloved multimedia universe. Created by Bryan Lee O’Malley as a six-volume graphic novel series published by Oni Press, the story combines romance, music, and video game-inspired action in a uniquely heartfelt and irreverent way. Its popularity sparked a critically acclaimed film adaptation, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, directed by Edgar Wright, followed by a video game adaptation developed by Ubisoft. Most recently, the franchise was reimagined in the Netflix anime series Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, bringing new life to the characters with the original film cast returning. Across each medium, Scott Pilgrim continues to resonate with fans through its bold storytelling, unforgettable characters, and unmistakable punchy style.
