Zephyr Cove, NV (March 25, 2025) - 1047 Games, the developer and publisher behind Splitgate 2, today adds renowned creative talent to its team in onboarding the accomplished Khoa Le as a principal animator. Le brings a wealth of expertise from leading roles on the Call of Duty series, among other celebrated AAA titles. Le’s proven skillset reinforces 1047 Games’ mission to deliver top-tier competitive FPS action with Splitgate 2, an innovative shooter where portals change everything, set to launch on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox consoles in 2025 (www.splitgate.com/).
Le’s 17-year career in the games industry includes his role as animation director on Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III (2023) and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (2022), as well as lead animator on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare - Warzone and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019) at Infinity Ward. Le previously contributed at Insomniac Games as an animator on Ratchet & Clank (2016) and Sunset Overdrive following roles on a number of marquee releases at Sony Interactive Entertainment, including lead cinematics animator for Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception and cinematics animator for titles including Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Killzone 3 and Infamous 2.
Le’s proficiency will help 1047 Games achieve its goal of crafting a competitive FPS experience where every movement feels fluid, from reloading a weapon to tossing a grenade to seamlessly shooting a portal for a strategic flank. Following leading contributions to the most dominant multiplayer FPS franchise of the past decade among other acclaimed action games, Le is well poised to deliver smooth movement to Splitgate 2’s gameplay.
"Movement is at the heart of Splitgate 2's amazing gameplay. With portals so pivotal to firefights and advances, conveying readable and natural motion as players navigate through walls and barrel through the air is as important as nailing the FPS basics like sprinting," said Le. "The kinetics of Splitgate 2 open up so many possibilities to make the action's spectacle match the energy that a high-octane showdown between premier athletes demands. 1047's team is realizing that full potential, and I'm excited to join the team as we continue building the next great competitive shooter."
Splitgate 2 is the revolutionary, massively evolved follow-up to the 2021 smash-hit Splitgate, which amassed 22 million downloads and critical acclaim for its fast-paced, innovative FPS gameplay. Portals change everything about multiplayer first-person combat, accentuating the heights of FPS action while empowering new ways to shut down opponents through portal-hopping movement. Splitgate 2's vast scope eclipses the original game with sheer variety, featuring a wealth of new arenas, weapons, and game modes. 1047 Games is designing Splitgate 2 to deliver fresh challenges and ways to play for years to come while standing as the definitive Splitgate experience. You can join the fight at any skill level - alone or with friends.
Splitgate 2 is the future of competitive online shooters and launches in 2025 on PC on Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One.
