Video game projects “Arc Raiders” and “The Finals” are getting film and television adaptations, with production work set up through Chernin Entertainment and developer Embark Studios. The announcement covers both games and confirms that adaptations are in development rather than release plans.
Chernin Entertainment’s film and TV division is involved, and the company is selected from among multiple competing studios for the rights and development process. Variety and other outlets say Embark Studios, which is owned through Nexon, is collaborating on at least some of the work. Eurogamer specifically frames the involvement of a separate production company, the Backrooms production company, in collaboration with Chernin Entertainment.
While the outlets agree on the core facts—that both games are moving toward screen adaptations and that Chernin Entertainment and Embark Studios are central to the effort—coverage differs in emphasis. Variety focuses on the competitive selection process for rights and mentions North Road Company’s Chernin Entertainment. Eurogamer highlights the collaboration structure and the role of Backrooms, while Polygon summarizes the official confirmation of movie and TV adaptation plans.
