The game is set in the futuristic city of Freehold and features wall-running, a grappling hook, Holojump pads, and P.A.I.N.T. bombs that alter surface properties. Mechs appear as map objectives rather than player-summoned abilities, and both teams must fight to secure them. The trailer ends with a tease for a full gameplay reveal at the PC Gaming Show on June 7 (June 8 in Japan time). EMPULSE is targeting an early access release within 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. 1047 Games is best known for the portal-based shooter Splitgate.","whyItMatters":"EMPULSE marks 1047 Games' first new IP since Splitgate, and its mech-as-objective design directly contrasts with Titanfall's pilot-summoned titans, offering a distinct tactical twist on the genre.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003e1047 Games released the cinematic trailer on June 2. The studio described the mechs as \"like fighting over the rocket launcher on the map in classic 'Halo,'\" according to Game Spark. The trailer focuses on human-state movement actions, including wall-running in forward and backward directions, a grappling hook for swinging and closing gaps, Holojump pads that the developers said are intended to feel \"similar to a snowboard jump,\" and P.A.I.N.T. bombs.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eP.A.I.N.T. stands for Plasma-Activated Injected Nanotechnology. When thrown onto a surface, the bomb changes that surface's properties, adding speed boosts, jump boosts, or new traversal lines. Players can use it on themselves, to expand the map, to support teammates, or to eliminate enemies. The trailer shows a bipedal mech with reverse-joint legs. Denfaminicogamer noted that if the enemy secures a mech, cooperating to destroy it can turn the tide of battle back in the player's favor.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe trailer ends with a tease for the first full gameplay reveal at the PC Gaming Show on June 7 (June 8 in Japan time).
