1047 Games conducts third round of layoffs less than a month after Empulse launch

1047 Games has gone through another round of layoffs less than a month after launching Empulse, its Titanfall-inspired multiplayer shooter. According to PC Gamer, multiple employees confirmed the cuts on LinkedIn, describing it as "the third wave of studio layoffs."

QA director Igor Krinitskiy wrote that the team was "getting off on this post-Empulse station," while UI engineer Iannis Stefan Palaczkos confirmed additional cuts affecting multiple departments. The studio has not made a formal public announcement regarding the exact number of affected staff.

This marks the third layoff cycle at 1047 Games in approximately one year, reflecting ongoing financial strain on the company following earlier controversies around Splitgate 2's pricing and reception before the game returned to beta testing with a planned 2026 relaunch, as reported by PC Gamer and Rock Paper Shotgun.
