1047 Games Announces EMPULSE, a 6v6 Movement Shooter

The studio says EMPULSE will enter Early Access in 2026 with signups open on the game's official site.

Overview

  • The game's Steam store page went live before a formal reveal and followed an earlier Insider Gaming leak on Wednesday, which pushed outlets to report core details ahead of a trailer.
  • EMPULSE centers on high-mobility combat with wallrunning, grapple hooks, Holojumps and P.A.I.N.T. bombs to alter surfaces and create movement-based advantage.
  • Maps feature player-controllable mechs that spawn in play, each with heavy weapons, unique abilities and large health pools that teams can claim to swing a match.
  • 1047 Games confirmed platforms as PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series, set an Early Access window for 2026, and is taking early-access signups on the official webpage.
  • Coverage notes clear Titanfall-style inspirations but also widespread skepticism due to 1047's rocky Splitgate relaunches, and outlets say a formal trailer or marketing push at upcoming showcases will be key to winning back players.
