Exciting news for fans of Embark Studios’ Arc Raiders and The Finals as both games are set to be adapted for television and film.
Variety reports that Chernin Entertainment, the film and TV arm of The North Road Company, has secured the rights to produce the TV series and movies based on these games. This decision comes after a rigorous selection process involving multiple production companies and studios.
Patrick Söderlund, the founder and CEO of Embark, along with Nexon executive chairman, expressed their enthusiasm for the upcoming projects, emphasizing their goal to create immersive transmedia experiences for both games.
David Ready from Chernin Entertainment praised the games as ambitious global intellectual properties with the potential to become successful franchises in the entertainment industry.
Arc Raiders, released in October 2025, has already sold over 16 million copies and received critical acclaim, winning awards at prestigious events like the Game Awards and BAFTA Games Awards.
