Embark Studios is a Stockholm-based video game developer founded in 2018 by former DICE employees. With over 300 staff members, the studio has established itself on the global gaming stage through titles including THE FINALS and ARC Raiders. The company pursues what it describes as blurring the line between playing and making - a mission that extends beyond traditional game development into applied research and breakthrough gaming technologies.
The studio's approach treats all employees as potential game makers regardless of their role, whether developer, narrative writer, or accountant. This philosophy reflects a conviction that game-making is fundamentally collaborative rather than the preserve of a creative elite. Decision-making is guided by curiosity and exploratory "what-if" thinking, with staff encouraged to follow unexpected paths where technology and game design intersect.
Embark Studios maintains a commitment to transparency with its community and invests in exploring cutting-edge technologies applicable to gaming. The studio's culture emphasises adherence to core principles and values whilst maintaining the flexibility to pursue novel ideas. Its research and exploration activities sit alongside commercial game development, positioning the company at the intersection of entertainment and technology innovation.
