Embark Studios has revealed what looks to be its first game, The Finals, an absolutely chaotic looking first-person shooter.
Revealed earlier this week, The Finals is a squad-based, free-to-play multiplayer shooter with inspiration from films like last year’s breakout hit Squid Game, and dystopian classic The Running Man. The first trailer gives off an impressive first look, with what looks to be completely destructible environments, and enemies that burst into coins when you take them down. And you can already sign up to take part in the game’s playtest, though the closed alpha is only running until tomorrow, October 3.
According to the studio’s creative director Gustav Tilleby, The Finals is “a hero builder, not a hero shooter,” going on to say the team wants “to build a game that provides players with the tools to meaningfully interact, change, and use their world. So, this is a shooter; it’s a game where aiming and shooting is important. But it’s also a game where the players can use the environment, and adapt to changes in the environment” (thanks, Polygon).
