![]() Unfortunately, the majority of these old games are no longer available via their original listing. The Roblox team built and popularised the majority of the earliest Roblox games. Roblox also makes worlds and games for players to enjoy. Roblox, like Minecraft, allows users to express their creativity by creating worlds and games. The game has approximately 90 million active users each month in 2019. Roblox made its formal debut on September 1, 2006, and has since evolved to become a hugely successful MMO (massively multiplayer online) game. How Splitgate grows and evolves to counter these games and make a name for itself will be interesting to watch – but with its newly earned financial backing, we’re hoping it will find a way to thrive amongst the genre’s battle-hardened staples.Last updated on June 29th, 2022 at 11:35 pm Both games offer a similar frenetic pace and high skill ceiling that fans largely love about Splitgate, but in a more familiar package.įurther on the horizon, there’s Overwatch 2 – a hero shooter that has an incredible amount of hype behind it – Rainbow Six Extraction and Destiny 2’s next expansion, all of which only add to the deep pool of shooters available to play. One of the biggest of those games, Call of Duty: Vanguard, a WWII shooter, drops in early November and will come with updates for its free-to-play counterpart Warzone, which will be shortly followed by Halo Infinite that drops in early December. That's interesting insight – and explains how Proulx sees Splitgate fitting in with the current crop of first-person shooters – however this holiday season alone we’re going to see a ton of games that either sit in or adjacent to the arena shooter space that Splitgate occupies. ![]() No 12-year-old Fortnite kid is gonna play it. Quake Arena is great, but it’s extremely difficult. One of the most telling points of Proulx’s interview was when he narrowed in on why Splitgate is succeeding in a crowded market: “No one has moved the needle because there hasn’t been a lot of innovation, and there hasn’t been something that’s accessible to the masses.

We don’t need to be Fortnite tomorrow, but now it really is about building the next Riot Games, the next big games business.”Īccording to Proulx's interview with GamesBeat's Dean Takahashi, some of that funding will be used to hire artists to produce skins, characters, and maps, as well as more game designers to create new modes for play. We’re focusing on the long term - I look at the game as being 25% done. “There’s so much we couldn’t think about because we were a tiny team with a tiny budget, but now everything is on the table. “The scope of what we can do is now through the roof,” said Proulx in the interview. That’s all going to change when that $100 million gets invested. The game has more than a dozen maps counting its sterilized arena spaces that are just used for competitive matches, though you’ll probably play the same five or six of the most popular maps in casual play where everyone gets to vote on which map gets picked.Īll of that is pretty impressive considering that Splitgate only has about 10 full-time developers working on it. ![]() Some gamers have been playing since Early Access and have a bit of an advantage, but largely the droves of people coming in now are all starting around the same time with the same amount of experience.
