1047 Games is ending development on the newest Splitgate and another multiplayer game.

The studio is reworking Splitgate: Arena Reloaded and Empulse to support peer-to-peer multiplayer but will no longer be providing dedicated servers, according to a message from cofounders Ian Proulx and Nicholas Bagamian. (Proulx wore a hat that read “Make FPS Great Again” at 2025’s Summer Game Fest, which he apologized for.) The cofounders also note that “our focus is changing” and that “What we build next may look very different from what people expect from 1047 Games.” [Image: https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/08/HQqYShibwAEdCtU.png?quality=90&strip=all] [Image: https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/08/HQqYTbIaoAAGTKT.jpeg?quality=90&strip=all]

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 - Gunny Loadout System Explained - IGN

If you’ve ever felt like Call of Duty’s weapon customization requires a degree in spreadsheet management just to build a decent loadout, Modern Warfare 4 has a new solution for you. Enter Gunny, a brand-new tool designed to remove the friction of the traditional Gunsmith. Whether you’re a newcomer or a seasoned veteran, Gunny allows you to simply pick a gun and a preferred playstyle—like long-range, balanced, or close-quarters—and instantly equips a tailored, usable weapon setup based on the attachments you've unlocked.In this video, we break down exactly how the Gunny system works in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4. We explore how you can reroll playstyles to get completely different attachment combinations, swap out individual parts like a drum mag while keeping the overall build intact, and why it won't replace traditional full Gunsmith customization for those who still want total manual control. Gunny proves to be a surprisingly effective addition to the loadout process that gets you into multiplayer matches faster without hamstringing your options.
