Splitgate Developers Quietly Unveil New Project
In a surprising turn of events, the developers behind the popular free-to-play shooter Splitgate have listed a new game on Steam before officially announcing it. The title, EMPULSE, appears to be a spiritual successor to the beloved Titanfall series, which has been neglected by publisher Electronic Arts for years.
EMPULSE: Titanfall’s Spiritual Successor
According to reports, the Steam listing for EMPULSE from 1047 Games (the same studio responsible for Splitgate) briefly appeared online before being removed. However, that brief appearance was enough for dedicated gamers to capture screenshots and details about this upcoming title. As the original source notes, “EMPULSE is supposed to give us what EA never did,” suggesting it aims to fill the void left by the dormant Titanfall franchise.
What Fans Can Expect
The listing reportedly describes EMPULSE as a fast-paced first-person shooter that will incorporate the wall-running, double-jumping, and fluid movement mechanics that made Titanfall stand out from other shooters in the genre. Given 1047 Games’ experience with Splitgateâa game that successfully blended familiar shooting mechanics with innovative portal elementsâthere’s optimism that they can capture what made Titanfall special while bringing their own unique twist.
Titanfall fans have been clamoring for a new installment in the series or something similar since Titanfall 2 was released in 2016. Despite critical acclaim and a dedicated player base, EA shifted focus to other projects, leaving the Titanfall series unfinished in many players’ eyes. EMPULSE appears positioned to deliver the high-octane gameplay experience these fans have been waiting for.
The Gaming Community Reacts
News of EMPULSE has generated significant excitement across the first-person shooter community. Social media platforms and gaming forums have been buzzing with speculation about the game, with many expressing hope that this title will fulfill the potential of Titanfall 3 that never materialized.
As we await an official announcement from 1047 Games, the anticipation continues to build. EMPULSE could represent the next major evolution in the fast-paced shooter genre, combining the best elements of its predecessors with new innovations from the creative team behind Splitgate.
