DAY 3 | MORE FIREPOWER TO YA!

Today’s drop is all about the new Weapons entering into play in Season 6! This time around, every build gets a new toy, so let’s unwrap them and see what’s in store: 

LIGHT | ARN-220

The lightweight contender’s best friend! This zippy assault rifle keeps you in the fight with lightning-fast reloads thanks to its secondary magazine. With a smooth recoil and a blistering fire rate, it’s built to shred mid-range targets before they know what hit ‘em!

MEDIUM | CB-01 Repeater

This hard-hitting lever-action rifle is built for precision. Empty the clip, snap in a speed-loader, and get back to landing high-caliber shots in no time! High risk, high reward!

HEAVY | M134 Minigun

A bullet-spewing beast with an insane fire rate and massive ammo reserves. Hold down the fort, spin up the barrel, and let it rip. Just don’t expect to run anywhere fast!


DAY 4 | Meet the Sponsors

Today we introduce you to some new and familiar faces as we celebrate the Sponsors of Season 6: OSPUZE, ALFA ACTA, and ENGIMO!

These powerhouses are determined to make every contestant a RISING STAR! All you need to do is sign on the contract and all your gameplay and fans will soar under their banner. You’ll be backed by their brand, geared up, decked out, and completely loyal for the entire season!

Let’s meet the CEOs! 

OSPUZE | Sofia Petronelle

An icon in her own right, Sofia has been conquering the corporate frontiers since she founded OSPUZE, the performance enhancing energy drink that has been fueling the competition since Scotty’s heydays. Born and raised in Argentina, it’s been said that she is a ruthless businesswoman who has brought the true gaucho spirit to her brand and to the Arena! This season, Sofia invites you to pop, pour, and perform with OSPUZE on your shoulder and in your bloodstream.  

ALFA ACTA | Junior McJohnson

CEO Junior McJohnson is dedicated to continuing his family’s legacy of developing top-tier defense technology. Raised in an environment where security was paramount, Junior is a staunch proponent of proactive protection for individuals and organizations alike. By creating accessible and massively marketed tools that are designed to neutralize any threat, he has ensured that ALFA ACTA is the number one name in home defence and beyond. Since taking control of the company, ALFA ACTA has become a major player in civilian security, private contracting, and virtual combat sponsorships, helping to minimize risk and maximize firepower!

ENGIMO | Ichikawa Natsume

Under the visionary leadership of CEO Ichikawa Natsume, ENGIMO redefined the landscape of global connectivity. Renowned for its cutting-edge communication infrastructure, the company seamlessly bridges the gap between the physical and digital worlds, ensuring unparalleled speed and accessibility. Ichikawa’s relentless pursuit of innovation has positioned ENGIMO at the forefront of next-generation communication technologies, empowering individuals and businesses alike. Symbolizing agility and precision, her signature dragonfly brooch serves as a testament to the company's commitment to swift, boundary-defying solutions.


DAY 5 | Las Vegas Stadium

Season 6 comes with a new twist on an old favorite! Las Vegas Stadium is a full-scale transformation of the original Las Vegas map. Reimagined as a championship arena, with our seasonal Sponsors taking over the casinos and turning them into massive, branded venues. We also took the opportunity to refine gameplay by reducing visual clutter,  especially in interior spaces, making main routes cleaner and more readable, enhancing navigation and flow.

Let’s take a closer look: 

Brought to you by…

Las Vegas Stadium is all about style, identity, and competition. This time around, the Sponsors have claimed their territory! Each one has taken over a casino, influencing it  with their own unique architectural twist:

ALFA ACTA
Brutalist and stark, the weapons defense company has chosen concrete and wooden elements to fortify and strengthen their fortress. 

OSPUZE
Drink in the ambiance of this energy drink powerhouse while you fight in their modern playground of plastics, neon signs, and animated billboards. 

ENGIMO
This cutting-edge communications company introduces pulsing cables and pipes that run through hallways, adding an electrifying atmosphere.

Time to traverse! 

Fast, fluid movement is key in THE FINALS, and this Arena was revamped with the Contestant in mind. We’ve removed unnecessary clutter to optimize key areas and keep combat snappy and the fights more readable.

Expect:

  • Cleaner routes
    More obvious entry and exit points to help you navigate 

  • Better interior flow
    No more getting stuck on excess objects or tight spaces

  • Polished design
    A refined feel that makes every match smoother and more engaging

Try it soon! 

We can’t wait to see how you impress the Sponsors and make your mark on this all-new take on Vegas in Season 6 of THE FINALS!

Join the Preview Event on the 19th for a chance to knock it all down a day early. Sign up here!

And don’t worry, the original Las Vegas Arena isn’t gone forever, it will return! 

(Edit: Las Vegas Sandstorm will remain in the game!)

SEE YOU IN THE ARENA! 


DAY 6 | POWER SHIFT

Today we are happy to announce the expansion of Power Shift, with two new maps added to the rotation: Bernal and Las Vegas Stadium! 

We can’t wait to see you push the platform through these new locations starting on March 20th when the RISING STARS season drops…or a day early if you make it to the preview event!

Enjoy the routes! 

See you back here tomorrow for another weekend reveal! 


DAY 7 | Meet the Music

Today we’re debuting Into The Unknown, a song from the Season 6 Soundtrack for THE FINALS!

This season, Carl Strandberg, Olof Strömqvist, Ed Hargrave and Christopher Peduru-Aratchi worked together to bring you six tracks designed to ready you for the bright lights of the Arena by infusing attitude, glamour and destruction. You’ll find a blend of fast and brutal beats along with slow and gentle moments that should give you all THE FINALS feels!

Here are the tracks:

  • Introducing

  • A True Competitor

  • Star Player

  • Into The Unknown

  • Gold Standard

  • Tides Of Fortune

The music genres that inspire THE FINALS have a lot in common with its worldbuilding. This season, you’ll find throwbacks to disco with a dark twist, along with more modern sounds. The gameshow often honors the past with various locations and looks to capture the feeling through music, architecture, and style. 

Season 6 also comes with a sporty vibe, so expect luscious pads, fat distorted basses, key raises, drum solos, guitar solos, synth solos and all of those extravagant, fun, and groovy parts!

Have a listen to this track and keep an eye out for the full OST to drop alongside the season!


DAY 8 | Team Deathmatch

Team Deathmatch is here to stay! This 5v5 coinbath is making a return in Season 6, a perfect playground to impress the Sponsors! 

You’ll be able to play TDM in Quick Play all season long, fight for a spot on the leaderboard, and it will also be included in our Quick Play progression…more on that later!

We’re expanding the mode to include four new maps, so you can bring the carnage and the coinage to more Arenas than ever before! 

Arenas: 

  • Fortune Stadium 

  • Seoul 

  • SYS$HORIZON

  • Las Vegas 

  • Kyoto 

  • Skyway Stadium

Let the coins fly! 


DAY 9 | The Battle Pass

Step into the Arena and listen for the roar of the crowd! This season, THE FINALS presents a Battle Pass for RISING STARS, inspired by the golden era of sports entertainment.

These rewards will help players climb from unknown contenders to legendary champions, decked out in bold, high-energy styles that bring back the best looks of a bygone era! 

The Aesthetic

Every great athlete starts as an underdog. This Battle Pass reflects that journey, taking players from fresh-faced hopefuls to esports icons, with a style harkens back to the golden age of sports entertainment!

This season’s aesthetic draws heavy influence from the 80s and 90s sports entertainment world, an era when competition was larger than life. 

What to Expect

106 Rewards and 1575 Multibucks up for grabs when you purchase the Premium Battle Pass! That’s enough Multibucks to buy the next one and something shiny to show off in the Arena!
