About EMPULSE

EMPULSE poster

EMPULSE is an upcoming fast-paced 6v6 movement shooter that challenges you to outmove and outgun your opponents across the post-utopian streets of Freehold. This action-driven FPS puts mobility at the core of every fight, mixing frantic gunplay with a constant hunt for tactical advantage as two crews battle for control of the map.

Movement is treated as freedom here. You can wallrun both forwards and backwards, swing with a grapple hook, launch off Holojumps and even alter surfaces using P.A.I.N.T. bombs, all to gain the upper hand. Every district in Freehold is designed with the surfaces, verticality and routes needed to chain your traversal together and slip into a flowstate, so getting around the battlefield becomes as important as your aim.

Mechs raise the stakes and can swing a match on their own. Player-controllable mechs spawn on the map armed with heavy weapons, unique abilities and a massive health pool, so claiming one lets you dominate the next firefight, while rallying your squad to bring an enemy mech down can shift momentum right back in your favor. For PC players who love speed and verticality in their shooters, EMPULSE builds its identity around fluid movement and the fight for control.
