[STEAM] 1047 Games reveals more about its upcoming shooter, Empulse

[Steam 0]

1047 Games today dropped the first trailer for its upcoming shooter, Empulse, which it previously announced last month. The new trailer reveals more about the game’s proposed direction, including an emphasis on 6v6 first-person shooting and fast-pased movement. The cinematic trailer doesn’t reveal much about the game’s story, but 1047 reveals that the urban environment is a city called Freehold.

The developer revealed more about Empulse’s mandate in a post on X, saying that the game is designed around movement and the fun of player-controlled mechs: “Our dream has always been to be a multi-game studio, and this is the kind of game we love making: a fast, arcade-style FPS gameplay that rewards player expression and skill. That is the type of gameplay we love and Empulse is the purest version of that idea we have built so far.”

Empulse’s gameplay includes such quirks as P.A.I.N.T. bombs, which alter surfaces upon which players can land, grappling hooks for swinging and the ultimate prize: Player-controlled mechs that spawn on the map and which require an entire team of 6 in order to bring down. The X post notes: “Think of it like fighting over the rocket launcher in classic Halo, except this rocket launcher walks, has unique abilities, and a massive health pool.”

1047 says Empulse is scheduled to launch in early access sometime this year. It also plans to reveal more about the game at the upcoming PC Gaming Show on June 7, as part of the Summer Game Fest super-event. It notes that it plans to build out the game with the help of a growing community: “We don’t need to sell a million copies on day one. We are prioritizing putting out a really, really fun game in front of players who want a game like this, and then shaping it alongside them.”
