Nexon’s Embark Studios has unveiled The Finals, a free-to-play, team-based first-person shooter that focuses on changing landscapes, destruction, and player freedom.

Inspired by battle royale literature, films and games, The Finals is set in a world where people watch and participate in combat entertainment game shows. It’s like The Hunger Games, but it has also been inspired by entertainment like Squid Game, Battle Royale, American Gladiators, Running Man, Formula One, Smash TV and other dystopian survival stories.
