Splitgate Dev's 6v6 Titanfall-Inspired Movement Shooter Silently Gets Steam Page

1047 Games, the studio behind Splitgate and Splitgate: Arena Reloaded, recently revealed that it was working on a new movement shooter inspired by Titanfall and Call of Duty Black Ops 3, seemingly in an attempt to not have all of its eggs in one basket. Not much has been officially revealed about the game via official or unofficial channels, but a Steam page for Empulse (stylized "EMPULSE"), and it turned out to be that very same game revealed previously by 1047 Games CEO, Ian Proulx. Despite the studio already previously accepting sign-ups for playtesting, there is no launch date or even launch window attached to the Empulse just yet, but the Steam Store page does divulge a handful of details and screenshots. The game has also been confirmed to be launching on both PS5 and Xbox consoles.

The Steam page confirms that Empulse will feature 6v6 gameplay with a focus on mobility, verticality, and a mix of gunplay and ability-based combat. The game will feature player-controllable mechs that spawn randomly across the map, and the map will be scattered with "Holojumps" that extend jump flight time and unlock parkour routes that would otherwise be unavailable to players. It will also feature grappling hooks and P.A.I.N.T bombs that alter surfaces in an as-yet unspecified manner. There is also a table of minimum system requirements that seems quite forgiving. If the system requirements are accurate, the minimum system specifications are an Intel Core i3-6100 or AMD Ryzen 3 1200, 8 GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 or AMD Radeon RX 470. The recommended specifications bump things up to an Intel Core i5-6600K or AMD Ryzen 5 1400, 12 GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX 580 GPU.
