Embark Explains Why There’s No Roadmap for The Finals

The Finals is now out, alongside its first season. With plenty of content to enjoy, players will undoubtedly be busy throughout the season, though one question that has already begun surfacing is what’s next for The Finals? While GAAS (Games as a Service) titls typically comes with a roadmap, for The Finals, Embark Studio is playing it close to the chest.

In a closed press and creator event we partook in last week, Embark revealed why there’s no roadmap for The Finals and where their current priorities are going into the game’s launch.

“We want to make promises we can keep. We would love to give you a detailed roadmap for years ahead, but again, people who have been with us for a while, we don’t know where the live service game will take us. Plans are going to change. We will get so much feedback from you players, and we want to address those. We want to really, really, REALLY, and I can’t stress that enough, build a game we want to play and that you guys love to play.”

Part of their priority involves ensuring the game runs great for everyone, and to do that, they need to look at as much feedback from the community as possible. Much of that feedback has been gathered from the closed and open betas, as seen in the day one patch notes. Of course, Embark will continue to monitor and pay close attention to player’s feedback as the season progresses, so expect plenty to see plenty of updates.

Though they don’t have a roadmap for The Finals, that doesn’t mean that players shouldn’t expect more content, as this season should bring more events. You’ll have to keep a close eye on The Finals’ social media accounts, as they’ll be making more announcements there.

The Finals is now available to play on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
