Revision as of 11:11, 12 April 2023
THE FINALS (/ðə ˈfaɪnlz/) developed by Embark Studios is a free-to-play first-person shooter game, scheduled to release in 2023 for PC (via Steam), PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
"...6 Embarkers on the 6th floor for 6 months..." That's how THE FINALS started (Or "Project Discovery", back then) - Rob Runesson on the initital development of THE FINALS.
Two public playtests have been conducted so far; a Closed Alpha playtest (under NDA) which took place throughout September 29th and October 3rd in 2022, followed five months later by a Closed Beta playtest from March 7th to March 22nd, 2023.
The game was originally teased during the Gamescom Opening Night Live 2022, and a gameplay trailer for the game published on 27 September 2022.
Background
THE FINALS takes place about 75 years in the future[1], roughly around the year 2100. It is the greatest virtual game show on the planet, with a large, global fan base, and considered a window to a bigger world outside of the real one - known as the Meatspace. But most people spend their time in the Virtual World. Contestants join through VR-technology to access the hyper-realistic arenas and fight for fame, riches, and the favor of generous seasonal Sponsors.
Arenas
THE FINALS prides itself on entertainment and spectacle! Each of the maps are virtual recreations of world famous locations so cause as much destruction as you want. Time of day, weather, and game-changing events will mix things up, so expect the unexpected.
Game Modes
Loadout
THE FINALS is not a hero shooter as much as it is a hero builder. You don't make a hero, you customize them. To this effect THE FINALS has a three build system, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.
The combination of specializations, weapons and gadgets can change a contestant into a medic, an assassin into an opportunistic objective player, and a tank into a brawler. Everything mentioned within these pages is subject to change, they are based off of the Closed Beta Test build held during early 2023.
In-Game Sponsors
Sponsors play a major role in THE FINALS, as they are currently the main vehicle for the world and narrative of the game. Sponsors want exposure to the game show's massive audience for their brand and products/services, and sponsored gear is a sign of a success for Contestants.
