The developers have insisted that early access marks the start of a fan-focused collaboration though:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Empulse\/comments\/1u9fgl3\/early_access_is_the_starting_point\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Early Access is the Starting Point<\/a><br \/>by<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/1047Games\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">u\/1047Games<\/a> in<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Empulse\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Empulse<\/a><\/p>\n<p>By all means go and check out that Steam demo if you have the ability to, and then look out for EMPULSE&#8217;s release on Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S next week. The standard price for the game will be $19.99, but it&#8217;ll also have a launch-week discount that&#8217;s yet to be specified.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll throw more details and screenshots for it down below.<\/p>\n<p>EMPULSE is a fast-paced 6v6 movement shooter where movement is the weapon. Outmove and outgun your opponents across the post-utopian streets of Freehold, chain wall-runs into grapple swings into mid-air kills, and fight for Crews to control mechs for the ultimate power spike.<\/p>\n<p>Excited for EMPULSE on Xbox?
