One of the main additions to the game is a brand new 5-vs-5 game mode\u2014Power Shift. The game mode was initially shown in the\u00a0season two\u00a0trailer on March 11, where we saw two teams of five battling it out on a giant moving platform. Already there, it was clear that unlike some classic\u00a0THE FINALS\u00a0game modes, Power Shift will have a completely different format resembling something we can see in more traditional team FPS games like\u00a0Overwatch 2. In the\u00a0preview of season two content from VG247\u00a0on March 13, the game mode was described as a \"tug-of-war style battle,\" and it promises to be a lot of fun. According to the preview, the goal of Power Shift is for one team to defend the platform from the other team while it moves around the map, destroying everything in its way. It is described as more casual than regular\u00a0THE FINALS\u00a0modes and is more for funsies and shooting rather than competitive play. As highlighted in the preview, Power Shift could be the developers' response to never-ending player requests for a deathmatch mode.\u00a0THE FINALS\u00a0already had several limited-time modes like Solo Bank It, which was an experimental mode that mostly matched the vibe. Since then, there has been another limited-time mode called\u00a0Steal the Spotlight, itself also a solo mode that got a good amount of\u00a0positive feedback\u00a0from the community. Power Shift will be the first-ever permanent deathmatch-like mode, and although it's 5-vs-5, it seems as chaotic and destructive as if you were playing on your own. On top of a new game mode, season two will bring a hacker-themed map, gadgets, specializations, and plenty of cosmetics. Alongside the upcoming private match feature, season two of THE FINALS sounds like a great time to dive back into chaos.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/THE-FINALS-explosion-e1702031175560.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1163198"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2334"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1163198"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1163198\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1163269,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1163198\/revisions\/1163269"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1060190"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1163198"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1163198"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1163198"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1163198"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1163198"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1163198"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1163198"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

One of the main additions to the game is a brand new 5-vs-5 game mode\u2014Power Shift. The game mode was initially shown in the\u00a0season two\u00a0trailer on March 11, where we saw two teams of five battling it out on a giant moving platform. Already there, it was clear that unlike some classic\u00a0THE FINALS\u00a0game modes, Power Shift will have a completely different format resembling something we can see in more traditional team FPS games like\u00a0Overwatch 2. In the\u00a0preview of season two content from VG247\u00a0on March 13, the game mode was described as a \"tug-of-war style battle,\" and it promises to be a lot of fun. According to the preview, the goal of Power Shift is for one team to defend the platform from the other team while it moves around the map, destroying everything in its way. It is described as more casual than regular\u00a0THE FINALS\u00a0modes and is more for funsies and shooting rather than competitive play. As highlighted in the preview, Power Shift could be the developers' response to never-ending player requests for a deathmatch mode.\u00a0THE FINALS\u00a0already had several limited-time modes like Solo Bank It, which was an experimental mode that mostly matched the vibe. Since then, there has been another limited-time mode called\u00a0Steal the Spotlight, itself also a solo mode that got a good amount of\u00a0positive feedback\u00a0from the community. Power Shift will be the first-ever permanent deathmatch-like mode, and although it's 5-vs-5, it seems as chaotic and destructive as if you were playing on your own. On top of a new game mode, season two will bring a hacker-themed map, gadgets, specializations, and plenty of cosmetics. Alongside the upcoming private match feature, season two of THE FINALS sounds like a great time to dive back into chaos.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/THE-FINALS-explosion-e1702031175560.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1163198"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2334"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1163198"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1163198\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1163269,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1163198\/revisions\/1163269"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1060190"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1163198"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1163198"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1163198"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1163198"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1163198"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1163198"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1163198"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
