The first major content update for The Finals is imminent with the forthcoming Season 2. This competitive shooter impressed us in our review with how the destructible environments and tools combined to create jaw-dropping moments, and it looks poised to expand on that with new gadgets, a new level, matchtype, and more. After a few hours playing with all the new toys, one thing is abundantly clear: The Finals are just getting started.
The upcoming Season in The Finals is centered around CNS, a hacker collective that infiltrated the Finals game show. Their “what the ‘80s thought a cyber-future would look like” aesthetic fits in perfectly with the digital American Gladiator vibes, and is infused throughout the new content, whether it's the stylish new outfits for characters, or the cool new tools heading to the arena. Every class gets a new gadget that focuses on hacking the battlefield, and testing them out in our hands-on preview showed a lot of potential for some fun and creative strategies.
Our gameplay session began with several games of Quick Cash, the classic 3v3v3 mode where teams vie to score points by stealing and backing a vault of digital coins, in the new SYS$HORIZON map. Its cool polygonal aesthetic stands in sharp contrast to the clean cityscapes of the previous levels. With two other players at my side, I set out to put the new gadgets through their paces.
First up was the Heavy, a class that trades mobility for durability and firepower. Another team had already captured the bank, and we needed to retake it in order to score. One of my go-to moves in this situation is to get below the bank and steal it by dropping it through the floor. This time, however, I opted to give the Anti-Gravity cube a go. I opened a hole in the ceiling, gave the cube a toss, and presto, instant grav lift. That sort of vertical movement is something the Heavies have lacked, and I can’t help but smile thinking about what went through my opponent’s mind as I levitated up through the floor, spewing fire all around from my flamethrower.
Next I tried out the Light class’s new Gateway gadget, and honestly I love it. This lets you toss out two ends of a portal and instantly travel between them. It’s fantastic for getting the drop on unsuspecting players, and is a really handy tool for traversal when you throw one end somewhere hard to reach. At one point my team was locked in a fierce battle for the bank in a burning office building. Rather than risk a head-on charge that surely would have ended with my exploding in a hail of bullets, I planted one end of the gateway outside, then threw the other right in the thick of the enemies, allowing me to instantly appear behind them with my sword swinging. Bamboozling the other
