Nexon report: The Finals hit the jackpot and gathered millions of players. It is a true Battlefield killer
Translated with AI from the Russian original.
The Finals is a new free-to-play online shooter available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. It is developed by the new studio Embark Studios, but this is not a game by industry newcomers.
Former developers of the Battlefield series are working on the project, and certain aspects, such as the use of destructible environments in gameplay, evoke strong associations with their past achievements. Meanwhile, Korean publisher Nexon is assisting with publishing.
It was Nexon that acknowledged the game’s success by including a corresponding note in its financial report. In the fourth quarter of 2023, Nexon reported record revenue of $579.1 million, up 4% compared to the same period in 2022.
Most importantly, in the first two weeks, The Finals was downloaded 10 million times across all available platforms, and the project entered the top five most popular games on Steam.
To maintain such high interest, the second season of The Finals will launch in March, and the studio has established a close partnership with Nexon, which will be key to its long-term strategy.
