[DAY 7] THE HOME STRETCH

It’s the last day of reveals, ending with the biggest one of them all: the Preview Event! Read all about it and get the link below.

AN UPDATE FROM OSCAR

Oscar is back with a Community Update for a slightly deeper dive on some of the new features coming to Season 7.

CONSOLE CHAT

In-game chat is now available for console players. Warm up those typing thumbs, get ready to chat complex game strategies and send encouraging messages to your party - console communication just got a whole lot easier!

WELCOME NEWCOMERS

The Arena can be an intense place for newcomers, so with Season 7 of THE FINALS we are doing multiple changes to make the onboarding just that much nicer.

RECRUIT & RISE

We’re making onboarding more rewarding (and cooperative) with the Recruit and Rise program!

Veteran players (Recruiters) will be able to invite newcomers (Prospects) to team up and play together. There are rewards on the line for both Recruiters and Prospects, and for every Prospect you help graduate into a Recruiter themselves, your recruiter badge upgrades!

EASIER UNLOCKS

Since the launch of THE FINALS we’ve added a bunch of Gadgets, Weapons, Sights and Specializations, so for new players, catching up and unlocking all the cool loadout options can take quite a while. With season 7 of THE FINALS we’re decreasing the VR cost of all items released during Season 1 through 6 to 500 VRs. We are also increasing the VR’s earned during the first three rounds played from 2400 to 5000!

It’s the perfect time to get your friends back into the game - and don’t forget to add them as your Prospect!

FROM GRIND TO UNWIND

Leveling up your badges in Quick Play and World Tour has been described as a bit brutal in Season 6, so we aim to lighten the load in Season 7 by speeding up progression in these more casual modes!

To do this, we are slightly increasing the Quick Play points earned for each Game Mode to boost your progress along as you reach for that gold Quick Play Badge!

In World Tour, we’re also changing the game by awarding 2 Win Points for first round eliminations. This means that the journey to Emerald will be shortened by about 25% for the average player.

LIVE STREAM

We’ve told you all about Season 7 throughout the course of this blog series and now it’s time to see everything new in action!

Join us for our seasonal Preview Event and get a full season walkthrough from Creative Director Gustav, a greeting from Rob, and then a few hours of playtime by Oscar or one of the many content creators taking part in the event !
