1047 Games, known for its popularity, is reportedly working on a new multiplayer shooter called Empulse. The game is described as a spiritual successor to the well-loved Titanfall series. The studio, best known for making the portal-based shooter Splitgate, aims to bring back the fast-paced action that fans of giant mechs and quick movement have long wanted.
This news arrives as fans are searching for something new in the genre. With this project, 1047 Games hopes to attract players who miss the classic mechanical battles and smooth movement of older shooters. A report from Engadget says that early gameplay footage of the project is now circulating privately, giving industry experts a better idea of what the studio is working on.
The game is in pre-alpha, so development is still in its early stages. Early details show that the game will focus on speed, vertical maps, and fast-paced robotic combat. The studio first announced the new project in a community update video for Splitgate: Arena Reloaded. In that video, they said a small team had split off to work full-time on a new multiplayer shooter. Recent leaks have given the community a much clearer idea of what this secret project looks like.
Gameplay Features in the New Project by 1047 Games
The leaked footage reveals that the game will feel very familiar to anyone who enjoyed classic sci-fi shooters. According to an exclusive report by Insider Gaming, players will be able to participate in classic Team Deathmatch modes that emphasize constant movement and quick reflexes.
The early footage highlights several key gameplay mechanics designed to keep action moving at a rapid pace:
- Grappling Hooks: Players can use these tools to quickly swing across large open gaps and climb tall structures.
- Wall Running: Just like in classic movement shooters, players can sprint along flat vertical surfaces to outmaneuver enemies.
- Boost Pads: Specialized floor tiles are placed around the maps to give players an instant speed lift.
- Giant Mechs: Large robotic suits are scattered throughout the maps, allowing players to hop inside and control massive firepower.
The robotic suits are the main attraction for the game. In early footage, a player was seen using a grappling hook to enter a mech before firing its primary Gatling gun to control the match. The giant robot was also equipped with a protective shield to block incoming attacks and a missile launcher that operates on a standard cooldown timer. It is still unknown whether the 1047 Games final game will feature multiple robot types or if everyone will use the same model.
Future Expectations for 1047 Games
The decision to create Empulse comes after a busy period for the studio. The team recently launched Splitgate: Arena Reloaded after changing their previous release plans. While that game remains the studio’s primary focus, this new project allows the developers to expand into a completely different style of science-fiction combat.
The game’s visuals are shifting from the bright, arcade-style colors of the Splitgate universe to a more realistic, gritty military aesthetic, similar to modern tactical shooters. This new style makes the game stand out from the studio’s earlier projects.
Right now, there is no official release date or teaser trailer for Empulse. Since the game is still in pre-alpha, the developers are working on the core mechanics and movement physics before sharing it with the public. Some sources close to the project say the studio might make an official announcement later this year.
As development moves forward, many gamers are watching to see if the studio can bring back what older mech franchises offered. With a team of experienced developers, 1047 Games has a real chance to create a game that action fans everywhere will enjoy.
