The Finals confirmed to be profitable as Embark teases future projects

Embark Studios made a name for themselves thanks to their polished, fun and unique free-to-play multiplayer FPS The Finals. Ahead of the official launch for the team’s highly-anticipated extraction shooter – Arc Raiders – the studio’s CEO has confirmed that “steady growth” has now made The Finals profitable.

In an interview conducted by TheGameBusiness, Embark Studios CEO Patrick Soderlund spoke on the past, present and future of the company.

In discussing the current state of The Finals, Soderlund confirmed that “The last 6 months of The Finals has seen steady growth…..the game is profitable.”

Of course, while we did not get any official figures, it is encouraging to know that the free-to-play title should remain stable in the wake of Arc Raiders’ upcoming launch later today.

Speaking of the future, beyond Arc Raiders the team at Embark are said to be working on two additional mystery projects, with Soderlund teasing them as follows:

“We have 2 projects in development….one of the concepts has a little more edge to it than the Finals or Arc Raiders…..the other is a little more conventional.”

With the continued success of The Finals, and the strong early impressions for Arc Raiders, it appears as though Embark Studios are ‘embarking’ on a winning streak. It will be interesting to see how post-launch support for Arc Raiders goes, and what exactly these other two projects are.

KitGuru says: What do you think of Soderlund’s statement? Will you be hopping into Arc Raiders today? What do you suppose the CEO means by “more edge”? Let us know down below.
