Gamers waiting for the co-op shooter Empulse on PlayStation 5 will face a longer wait. The developer behind the Titanfall-inspired title delayed the console version to address certification requirements. This change shifts the release timeline but leaves the Xbox and PC launch dates intact. Players who own an Xbox Series X or Series S can still access the game as planned.
Certification requirements push the console version past its original June 24 launch date while Xbox and PC versions proceed as scheduled.
The delay affects only the PlayStation 5 build of Empulse. The core multiplayer experience remains unchanged for other platforms. The game is designed for fans who enjoy rapid, large-scale multiplayer battles featuring up to 64 participants per match. The developers structured gameplay around fluid movement systems and objective-driven rounds, emphasizing rapid action rather than methodical tactics.
1047 Games originally scheduled a simultaneous launch across Xbox consoles and Steam Early Access on June 24 at 9 AM PT. The demo attracted significant attention, peaking at 4,316 concurrent players on Steam within a month of its release. The high number of concurrent players indicates significant early engagement with the game's fundamental mechanics.
The studio plans to implement changes based on community feedback gathered during testing. The development team plans to refine gameplay mechanics and balance adjustments prior to the official PlayStation release. The Xbox and PC versions continue their scheduled rollout without interruption.
