Embark Studios has announced their first round of contestants in the ultimate virtual combat game show called THE FINALS! Interested players can sign up for playtesting on Steam to join in on the exciting, team-based, free-to-play shooter that pushes environmental dynamism, destruction, and player freedom to the limits.
Contestants will compete in virtual recreations of two iconic locations—the skyscrapers high above the heart of downtown Seoul and old-town Monaco, on the banks of the French Riviera. The beta also has a practice range where contestants can test weapons, gadgets, movement, and of course, destruction. There’s casual play as well as ranked tournaments, and leaderboards for players to climb. Throughout the two-week event, contestants can unlock weapons, gadgets, tons of cosmetic items, and more.
The game 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.
Will you be signing up for this first play time on THE FINALS?
