The team behind SplitGate have officially announced their Titanfall inspired ‘EMPULSE’

Earlier this week, insiders claimed that 1047 Games – the team behind the SplitGate series – have been working on a spiritual successor of sorts to Respawn Entertainment’s beloved Titanfall, with Project Empulse said to be featuring advanced movement; grappling hooks; boost jumps and even giant pilotable mechs. In the wake of its early unveiling, 1047 Games have come right out and announced the game, with EMPULSE now officially being listed on Steam.

Publishing an official Steam page with a description, screenshots and more, 1047 Games have now unveiled EMPULSE: “an upcoming fast-paced 6v6 movement shooter” in which players will be able to “wallrun, grapple, Holojump, pilot mechs, and P.A.I.N.T. your way through Freehold's vertical streets.”

It seems the game will be taking movement even further than what was seen in Titanfall, with players being able to “wallrun forwards and backwards, swing with a grapple hook, launch off Holojumps, and alter surfaces with P.A.I.N.T. bombs to gain tactical advantage.”

As mentioned, we unfortunately have not gotten any video footage of the game, and so it is unknown exactly how these mechanics will look/function. That said, the screenshots shared do give some idea of what to expect, with much of the level design seemingly focused around verticality.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
