Embark Sees The Finals As “Still Being Here” in 3-5 Years
[summaraize]
It’s been more than a year since The Finals was released on consoles and PC. While the gaming space is not lacking when it comes to free-to-play games and shooters, Embark Studios’ latest title seems to have planted its foot firmly enough that it has its own following.
If you’re wondering how the future looks for The Finals, we are too, and this is something we asked Embark when we got the chance to speak to the studio.
Embark Sees a Bright Future for The Finals
Speaking exclusively to MP1st, we asked Embark where they see the game in the next few years.
MP1st: Would you say the first year is the biggest challenge to get through for a live service? And now that we are past it, where do you see the game in the next 3-5 years?
An Embark spokesperson provided the answer, stating, “I think every year likely comes with its own unique challenges. The first year had some for sure, transitioning the team from working on a game “behind closed doors” to one where our work is constantly being validated week by week by our greatest critics (and fans) is very different! At the same time, it’s also the most rewarding part of what we do. In the next 3-5 years I see us still being here, many seasons deep, with more players than ever and a version of THE FINALS that just gets better and better.”
Given how consistent the dev team has been in pumping out content, if the player base sticks, there’s no reason The Finals can’t reach the longevity of other live-service games. That’s especially true when you consider the studio’s ambitious eSports plans, something they’ve already begun laying the groundwork for with Season 6.
It’s not just The Finals Embark is busy with these days, as the studio’s next game, ARC Raiders, will be conducting a tech test on consoles and PC in May.
