Enthusiasts of “The Finals” are eagerly anticipating details about the upcoming Season 6 update, slated for release in March. Yet, gamers seeking to showcase their skills can look forward to participating in the shooter’s inaugural esports tournament later in the year.

Despite no formal confirmation from Embark Studios, it appears that Season 6 of their game is set to release this month, as suggested by an in-game countdown. With just a fortnight remaining, hints for the upcoming season, known as “The Finals,” have started surfacing. Back in February, Embark Studios shared a mysterious video, which, though revealing scant details, was possibly the first teaser for the game’s new season. More recently, during a Reddit AMA session, Embark Studios hinted at the possibility of adding a medieval-style map to “The Finals,” expressing enthusiasm due to Sweden’s rich history.

The Finals Announces 2025 Major Tournament

Though official details about the upcoming content update for The Finals‘ esports scene remain undisclosed, Embark Studios has unveiled plans for their first significant tournament in 2025. In a recent blog post, Oscar Lundberg, Community Lead at Embark Studios, announced that The Finals is making its way into the world of esports. The Major 2025 tournament will be held in Q4 2025, offering a total prize pool of $100,000. Embark Studios has confirmed an in-person LAN event and open qualifiers, allowing anyone to participate and showcase their skills. While additional details are forthcoming, the studio shared that they’re actively preparing for high-level competition support within The Finals.

As a passionate gamer, I can’t help but feel the adrenaline rush as esports in video games continue to expand each year, with The Finals joining the competitive fray. In preparation for the Major 2025 tournament, they’ve announced that Season 6 will roll out with several exciting updates. To start, gamers and organizers alike can look forward to a refined private match experience offering greater control.

Season 6 also promises an overhauled spectator mode for a smoother viewing experience, not just for fans but also for analysts. Lastly, new ranked tournament privacy settings will be introduced, allowing UI and HUD tweaks to ensure matches are as fair and balanced as possible. It’s an exciting time to be part of the gaming community!

Embark Studios suggests there are further updates on the horizon, implying that this is merely the start for the competitive aspect of the game. Despite the challenging year 2024 was for ‘The Finals’, with a significant decrease in player numbers on Steam, it hasn’t deterred Embark Studios from fully committing to their new esports project. Even though Nexon, the parent company, admitted in May 2024 that ‘The Finals’ didn’t meet its targets, the game has been praised by both fans and critics. However, the shooter seems to be facing issues with player retention. With the new foray into esports, ‘The Finals’ may well receive a significant influx of players it needs.
