June 10Jun 10 This past weekend at Summer Game Fest 2026, I played a new movement first-person shooter from 1047 Games, the developer behind Splitgate and its polarizing sequel. Empulse, the studio's new multiplayer title, channels Titanfall 2 in the best ways. Players fight over control of a hulking, pilotable mech by using grapple hooks, wall-running tech, and P.A.I.N.T. grenades that splatter the map with special effects.Empulse releases on Steam via Early Access on June 24 for $19.99 and is also available to play during Steam Next Fest beginning June 15, 2026. Watch the video below to learn more about why I enjoyed playing Empulse at Summer Game Fest.
