SplitGate team reportedly developing a Titanfall successor

1047 Games found a ton of success back in 2019 when they released SplitGate: a fun and fast-paced arena shooter in the vein of classic Halo, while adding a twist in the form of portals which players could place around the map for strategic plays. While its sequel has failed to make the same level of splash, the team are apparently working on a brand new game – this one being inspired by Titanfall.

As reported by known insider Tom Henderson via Insider-Gaming, 1047 Games are said to be working on a spiritual successor of sorts to Respawn’s beloved Titanfall series, with “Pre-alpha gameplay footage sent to Insider Gaming” showcasing “players fighting in Team Deathmatch, using grappling hooks, wall running, and boost pads to quickly traverse around the map.”

Said to be currently titled project ‘Empulse’ the game is seemingly going all-in on the Titanfall vibes, with the game also including “giant mechs that are scattered around the map”. Footage sent to the publication reportedly showcases “a player grappling inside a mech and then dominating the match with the mech's primary Gatling gun.”

Of course, there will be core differences between project Empulse and Titanfall, but the inspiration is clearly there. While we will have to wait for an official announcement to learn about the game properly, Empulse is reportedly currently in pre-alpha – with plans to unveil the game scheduled for sometime “later this year.”
