EMPULSE is a fast-paced 6v6 movement shooter from 1047 Games (the studio behind Splitgate), heavily inspired by Titanfall.
It emphasizes fluid movement mechanics like wall-running, grappling, sliding, jetpacking, and Holojumping, plus piloting powerful mechs in vertical, sci-fi urban combat arenas.

Content creators and players are excited about the freedom of movement in maps like Freehold (a sealed district in an AI megacity).
