EMPULSE launches in Early Access on June 24

EMPULSE now has an Early Access date: June 24. 1047 Games’ six-versus-six movement shooter is coming to PS5, Xbox Series, Switch 2 and PC, and it will also be part of Steam Next Fest from June 15.

The pitch is straightforward but risky: wall-running, grappling, sliding, fast traversal and competitive gunfights. That immediately invites Titanfall comparisons, which is flattering and dangerous. Movement shooters live or die on map flow, weapon clarity and whether mobility creates smart decisions rather than random noise.

EMPULSE has the advantage of a studio that already understands fast FPS pacing from Splitgate, but this is still a new test. The Early Access approach makes sense because competitive shooters need real player pressure. If movement feels fluid and firefights stay readable, EMPULSE could become a genuine summer surprise.
