Hollywood is mining Arc Raiders and The Finals for its next big video game adaptations, as the two franchises will be turned into films and TV shows.
Per Variety, Nexon, the parent company of developer Embark Studios, will team up with a production company known as Chernin Entertainment to develop adaptations of Arc Raiders and The Finals. As of right now, it sounds like the teams are exploring all possible options, which include TV shows and films. This will be done to help expand the worlds of these games that “reward the passion” of the players, according to Nexon.
“ARC Raiders and The Finals are exactly the kind of opportunities we’ve been building towards at Chernin Entertainment: ambitious global IP with the potential to become major franchises across film and television,” said David Ready, president of film at Chernin Entertainment. “Nexon and Embark have created visually stunning, atmospheric worlds that contain countless stories to tell. We’re honored they’ve trusted us to unite our film and television teams to tell those stories.”
Embark Studios says it will work directly with Chernin Entertainment to develop these adaptations, ensuring there is respect paid to the worlds and lore that fans have fallen in love with over the years. As of right now, there are no release dates or specifics for these projects, so they are likely still years away from materializing.
Arc Raiders was one of the biggest games of 2025, but it has lost some steam in recent months due to a lack of steady updates with significant content. Later this month, Embark plans to test a PvE mode in the game, allowing players to enjoy a more cooperative experience without fear of being gunned down by other players. The studio emphasized that there’s no guarantee that this mode will become permanent, but it is exploring the option following demand from players.
