It's no secret that 1047 Games has had a rough time of it lately, with the launch of both Splitgate: Arena Reloaded and its most recent movement shooter, Empulse, marred by low player turn-out. Apparently, things haven't improved, according to a new post on social media from 1047 Games itself revealing that the studio will soon end development on both Empulse and Splitgate: Arena Reloaded.

The studio explains that "neither game is generating enough revenue to support the ongoing cost of dedicated servers," and says that it has "continued covering those costs because we wanted to give both games every opportunity to grow, but we have reached the point where that is no longer sustainable." This news comes after the studio laid off a number of staff following the launch of Empulse. On the bright side, this doesn't necessarily mean players of Empulse or Splitgate: Arena Reloaded will be locked out of their games.As per the announcement, on September 3, both Splitgate: Arena Reloaded and Empulse will be moving to peer-to-peer hosting with built-in server browsers, allowing players to host their own matches and continue to play the games if they like. 1047 Games will also update Empulse with one more map and lower the game's price in all regions, with the game no longer receiving updates after that final map is added.1047 Games notes that this isn't the end of the studio, either, and that it will be changing its focus from shooters to something "very different." Although the announcement does not specify what the next game is that the studio will launch, the studio says that "we love making games" and that it will carry lessons it's learned over the years into its next game.
