Embark Studios Announces Alpha Playtest For The Finals

Embark Studios, the Stockholm-based studio under Nexon, revealed they are launching an Alpha Playtest for The Finals. The team-based shooter based in a game-show format will eventually be launched as a free-to-play title, but before that can happen, they need to iron out the wrinkles and get the game ready for release. This will be the first of many public tests people can take part in while that process is happening. The test starts this Thursday, September 29th, at 8am ET and will run through October 3rd at 3pm ET. You can request access to the test via the game's Steam page at the link above.
