Empulse, an upcoming fast-paced 6v6 movement shooter that serves as a spiritual successor to Titanfall 2, is launching into Early Access.
Developed by 1047 Games, the studio behind Splitgate, Empulse is built around wallruns, grapples, Holojumps, P.A.I.N.T. bombs that reshape surfaces, and mech combat.
A free playable demo of Empulse is currently available to download on Steam, but with its Early Access launch just days away, here's everything you need to know about gameplay, features, platforms, and pricing!
What Is Empulse?
Per the game's official description, Empulse is a fast-paced 6v6 movement shooter where movement is the weapon. Outmove and outgun your opponents across the post-utopian streets of Freehold, chain wall-runs into grapple swings into mid-air kills, and fight for Crews to control mechs for the ultimate power spike.
If you enjoyed Titanfall, then you'll probably appreciate what Empulse has to offer. That's because 1047 Games has stated that Empulse is a direct "love letter" and homage to Titanfall 2, offering advanced kinetic movement, infantry vs mech combat, and a slightly faster time-to-kill.
Empulse Release Date, Price, and Platforms
Empulse is set to release into Early Access on June 24, 2026. The game is currently scheduled to launch across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
The Early Access version of Empulse will be priced at $19.99.
Instead of traditional digital editions, the game follows a "budget release", one-time purchase model, and there will be no microtransactions, battle passes, in-game stores, or paid cosmetics at launch.
Empulse Features and Mechanics
Movement is the foundation of Empulse. Every district in Freehold is built for chaining movement together and finding your flow state.
Here are some of the movement skills and tools that players can use to their advantage:
- Wall-running: Run forwards and backwards, chain almost any mechanic into a wall-run, and ride virtually every vertical surface on the map.
- Grapple hook: Build momentum, swing around cover, whip into a wall-run faster than you could on foot, or hook an enemy to reel them in for a one-hit melee.
- Holojumps and jetpacks: Launch off boost pads to keep the movement chain alive.
- P.A.I.N.T. Bombs: Reshape any surface with Jump, Speed, Explosive, Heal, and Sticky P.A.I.N.T. Bombs to gain the advantage in fights.
Meanwhile, Mechs are the most contested objective in a match. They act as a power spike that spawns mid-round and forces your team to fight for control. Two of them spawn at the center of the map at a time, and whoever claims one is piloting a machine built to take over a round.
A claimed mech comes loaded with the following kit:
- Chaingun that ramps up the longer you hold the trigger
- Rockets that delete anyone caught in sight
- Melee that hits enemies for heavy damage and knocks them back
- Deployable bubble shield to lock down a position or act as cover
- Charge jump that launches the mech high into the sky, then slams down with a shockwave, crushing anyone caught underneath on impact
- Dash to reposition with surprising speed, especially for something so massive
Post Launch Content and Roadmap
1047 Games is promising a community-first approach when it comes to post-launch content and improvements for Empulse, stating that feedback will be read and updates will be shipped at a steady cadence based on player insights.
Here's what players can expect both at launch and in the future:
- A roadmap driven by you, not locked in months ago. Expect new modes, maps, weapons, mechs, and meta playstyles, with plenty more waiting for everyone to discover through playing.
- Balance and systems tuned with you, not at you. We adjust weapons, mechs, and modes based on how the community actually plays, and we tell you why.
- Decisions made in the open. We share what we are working on, what we are holding back, and what we are still figuring out, so you can shape it before it ships.
- No store, no battle pass, no microtransactions at Early Access launch. Period. Cosmetics are earned in-game through Gigs, progression, and events, with non-paid exceptions like Twitch Drops and wishlist incentives.
