Embark Studios is a Stockholm developer at Bankpalatset. It makes live multiplayer games: THE FINALS, a free-to-play team shooter in destructible arenas, and ARC Raiders, a multiplayer extraction adventure against machines on a ruined Earth. The studio is owned by Nexon.
History
Embark was founded in November 2018 by Magnus Nordin, Rob Runesson, Stefan Strandberg, Patrick Söderlund, Jenny Huldschiner and Johan Andersson. The studio set out to pair an underdog mindset with AAA ambition. Nexon completed its acquisition of Embark in 2021; development remains in Stockholm.
Games
THE FINALS launched in 2023 as a free-to-play dynamism shooter — teammates fight in virtual arenas they can alter and destroy. ARC Raiders, a PvPvE extraction adventure, launched worldwide on 30 October 2025.
Now
Both games are in live service in 2026. THE FINALS continues with seasonal updates. ARC Raiders is in its first full year, with a public content roadmap.
