1047 Games released a demo for EMPULSE on June 15, 2026, and plans to launch the game in early access on June 24 or June 25 across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
1047 Games announced its new title EMPULSE during the PC Gaming Show 2026 on June 8. The game is a 6v6 team-based first-person shooter set in a futuristic city called Freehold. A trailer shown at the event highlighted fast movement mechanics including wall-running, grappling hooks, and the ability to board mechs. The early access launch was initially set for June 24 on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. A playable demo was promised for Steam Next Fest starting June 15.
On June 15, 1047 Games released the demo on Steam. The demo gives players a first look at the game's high-mobility movement across three-dimensional stages and the ability to pilot mechs that appear on the map. The mechs are equipped with heavy weapons, unique abilities, and high HP. The development team cited Respawn Entertainment's Titanfall series as an influence. The early access version was later scheduled for June 25, during which the developers plan to make balance adjustments based on player feedback and add new modes, maps, and weapons.
The two stories agree on the core details of the game but differ on the early access date: one story says June 24, the other says June 25. Both stories confirm the demo launched on June 15. The game is set in Freehold and emphasizes movement and mech combat.
