Developer 1047 Games has confirmed that both Empulse and Splitgate: Arena Reloaded have been shut down, and the studio has indicated it is likely finished making arena shooters. This marks the end of the line for the follow-up to its original Splitgate title, signalling a shift in direction for the company away from the genre that made its name.
