Starting March 7, Embark Studios will hold a two-week closed beta for The Finals.

Join the first wave of contestants in the ultimate virtual combat game show and play the exciting, team-based, free-to-play shooter that pushes environmental dynamism, destruction, and player freedom to the limits.

To get a handle on what’s waiting for you, take a look at the above gameplay trailer, and sign up for playtesting on Steam to get a chance to experience how Embark wants to shake up the first-person shooter genre. 

“Many of us at Embark have been building first-person shooters for more than two decades, but just when we thought we were finished with the genre, we unlocked a developer’s Holy Grail,” said Rob Runesson, Executive Producer of The Finals. 

“With server-side destruction and movement, almost everything in The Finals can be wrecked. We want to breathe new life into a genre that’s frankly grown slightly monotonous, and can't wait to test The Finals with a large number of players to see if they agree, so we can keep improving the experience ahead of launch.”

The beta includes two maps – the skyscrapers high above the heart of downtown Seoul and old-town Monaco, on the banks of the French Riviera.

Three modes: Quickplay, Ranked Tournaments, and a Practice Range where contestants can test weapons, gadgets, movement – and of course, destruction. Players should expect plenty of tweaks, changes, and additions based on the feedback Embark receives.

During the second week of the closed beta, we will launch two drop campaigns with exclusive in-game items as a reward for players who view The Finals drop-enabled streams on Twitch.

Contestants who want to stay close to the action are welcome to join the official Discord Channel of The Finals, for playtester chat forums, a refer a friend program, and out-of-the-game activities.

The Finals remains in development and beta participants should expect plenty of tweaks, changes, and additions based on the feedback they give. It’s a game that brings  experimental features—like server-side movement and destruction—and many of these will take iteration to get right.

The Finals thrives on spectacle, so drive your fans wild with thrilling combat and your own personal flair as you compete for worldwide fame and the support of our discerning and stylish sponsors.

The World Is Your Weapon (And Enemy) - A skilled contender might go in guns blazing, but with environmental destruction in your arsenal, that’s just the start of what you can wield against your foes! All of our arenas can be altered, used, or reduced to rubble - and not just by you.

Key Features:

• Truly Dynamic and Destructible Environments — Contestants fight it out in virtual playgrounds based on some of the world’s most iconic places. The arenas are immersive and fully destructible, powered by Embark’s new server-side destruction & movement system that ensures every player experiences the same impact to the world at the same time – whether it’s a piece of furniture blown apart or a whole building collapsing.
• Maximum Player Expression — Deep visual and gameplay customization allows players to build their own unique contestant. From stealthy ninjas defeating opponents with a katana, to cowboys tanking with rocket launchers, every contestant can control who they are and how they play.
• Rely on Your Instincts — Why impose limits to your imagination? In The Finals, if you think something might work, it probably will. Contestants need to rely on their intuition, use the environment to their advantage, and make full use of their bespoke arsenals and abilities to defeat their rivals and complete objectives.
• The World’s Biggest Stage — All of this beautiful, brutal chaos is wrapped up into an over-the-top virtual game show, centered on a high-stakes tournament with eliminations between every high-tempo round. Teams of three will need to work together to advance. Lose, and you can jump right back into a new tournament — win, and you can reach The Finals.

The Finals is in development for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam).
