At The Game Awards, Embark Studios made a surprise announcement that its first-person multiplayer shooter, The Finals, is launching today. The game is now or will soon be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Previously, The Finals was accessible via an open beta, allowing players to get a glimpse of the game's features and generate excitement. However, it was later revealed that the game utilizes AI text-to-speech for voiceovers, leading to disappointment among some players.
The Finals drew in a massive audience during its open beta and quickly rose to become one of the most-played games on Steam. This free game utilizes microtransactions for support.
Embark Studios, a newcomer in the game development scene, was established by veterans of Battlefield studios. The Finals is being published by Nexon.

Editor's P/S
As a hard fan of first-person multiplayer shooters, I am thrilled about the release of 'The Finals Surprise'! I've been eagerly awaiting this game since its announcement, and I can't wait to dive into the intense battles and experience the non-stop action it promises. The fact that it's available on multiple platforms, including PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, makes it even more accessible to gamers like me. I'm confident that Embark Studios has created a game that will keep me entertained for hours on end.
However, I must admit that the news about the game utilizing AI text-to-speech for voiceovers was a bit disappointing. As a fan of immersive gaming experiences, I believe that high-quality voice acting can greatly enhance the overall atmosphere and engagement of a game. I hope that Embark Studios will consider addressing this aspect in future updates or sequels to ensure a more authentic and immersive experience for players.
