The Finals Season 3's New Map, Gadgets, Weapons, and More Revealed at Summer Game Fest

Viewers got their first look at Season 3 of Embark Studios' hit FPS, The Finals, via a new season launch trailer revealed during Summer Game Fest Live.

Season 3 is set to launch on June 13 and will introduce more weapons, a new map, new gadgets and the return of Terminal Attack, a mode that will be around for good.

The new map – an arena called Kyoto 1568 – is inspired by the real Kyoto, with cherry blossom trees in bloom and map elements with a Japanese twist, including 16th century temples, beautiful gardens and thick forests of bamboos perfect for hiding. The Kyoto 1568 Arena stands out from the game's other maps, which all have a gritty, urban feel. Kyoto 1568 is also unique in that it includes more height variations in terms of topography, with connected buildings, mountainous terrain, and even hidden underground tunnels that players can traverse. Players can even shoot through the Shoji paper walls of different buildings.

Additionally, all player versions receive new weapons and equipment designed to match the aesthetic of the new map. New items include:

• Recurve bow (weapon for lights)
• Thermal bore (gadget for lights)
• Dual Katanas (melee weapon for psychics)
• Lance (melee weapon for Heavies)
• Winch claw (specialization for heavy goods vehicles)

Finals Season 3 will also introduce the World Tour, a new series of events designed to challenge players. World Tour will see players compete in in-game events and tournaments with a unique combination of rules, equipment, locations and rewards. Earning victories on the World Tour will allow players to rank up on the leaderboard and also rank their World Tour badge at Bronze, Silver, or Gold levels, depending on their skills. Players can even earn Multibucks at the end of the season if they outperform the competition.

The Finals is free on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
