Developer 1047 Games discussed its upcoming title EMPULSE at the Summer Game Fest event. The studio plans to apply lessons learned from its previous release, Splitgate, to improve the new shooter.

Studio aims to refine core shooter mechanics and address previous player feedback

EMPULSE is a free-to-play arena shooter comparable to Splitgate. It aims to provide smoother gameplay and refined mechanics for competitive players through developer feedback.

The studio outlined specific differences between EMPULSE and Splitgate during public discussions at the event. The updates address previous issues instead of adding new genres or modes.

The studio focused on improving player experience rather than increasing content quantity. Improvements target core systems such as movement, matchmaking, and map design through iteration.

No pricing or availability details have been confirmed for EMPULSE at this stage. No release dates or platform information have been shared yet.

The project follows Splitgate as a follow-up title from the same developer group. The developer is refining its free multiplayer shooter model using community input.
