1047 Games, the studio behind Splitgate, is developing a new first-person shooter inspired by Titanfall and Call of Duty: Black Ops 3. CEO Ian Proulx revealed in a video announcing the second season of Splitgate: Arena Reloaded that a small team is already working on this project, which will focus on advanced movement mechanics.
Details are limited, with no title, release date, or gameplay footage available yet. Since Splitgate has just entered its second season of ongoing support, the new shooter is likely several years away from launch. Players interested in early testing can sign up for potential playtest phases when they become available.
1047 Games’ focus on Titanfall-style movement mechanics
The decision to create a movement-based shooter follows naturally from 1047 Games’ experience with Splitgate. The game was praised for its fluid traversal and innovative portal mechanics, combining parkour-inspired combat with fast-paced gameplay. This new project aims to bring similar design strengths to a faster, Titanfall-inspired competitive shooter, appealing to fans who value mobility and depth in their gameplay.
Challenges following Splitgate 2’s troubled launch
1047 Games faces challenges rebuilding trust with its community after the controversial release of Splitgate 2. The game was pulled back into beta shortly after launch, leading to layoffs and restructuring before it reemerged as Arena Reloaded. CEO Ian Proulx also attracted negative attention unrelated to game design. Whether the studio can sustain player enthusiasm for this new movement shooter remains uncertain.
Early expectations for 1047 Games’ new shooter
The first teaser for this tactical, fast-movement shooter has generated cautious optimism among players. If 1047 Games can build on their previous innovation while avoiding past missteps, the project could become a notable entry in the competitive FPS genre.
