But it all comes back to the spirit of the world's largest game show in season four. THE FINALS season four was revealed on Sept. 12 by Embark Studios, and it's filled with competitive spirit and sponsor logos. Cashout is at the heart of THE FINALS, and following player feedback, Ranked Cashout is returning as a core ranked mode in season four, replacing Terminal Attack. Terminal Attack and its leaderboards aren't going anywhere, though, and will still be available to enjoy in Quick Play as a casual mode. The World Tour, introduced in season three, continues its journey as a separate experience from Ranked Tournaments with new and exciting elements that will appear throughout the season and change up the game. As always, there are multiple stops on the World Tour you can partake in to progress your badge. It wouldn't be a new THE FINALS season without a new arena. Fortune Stadium is a map with districts dedicated to each of the season's featured sponsors, including HOLTOW, ISEUL-T, and ENGIMO. Throughout the season, you'll be able to represent one of these sponsors and earn exclusive rewards. Season four of THE FINALS will launch on Sept. 26. Alongside all the new additions, expect a new battle pass, career circuits, weapons (including double-wielding Desert Eagles), alternative sights, and new cosmetic features such as additional faces and facial hair.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/the-finals-panda.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1338765"}],"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=1338765"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1338765\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1339186,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1338765\/revisions\/1339186"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1339160"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1338765"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1338765"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1338765"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1338765"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1338765"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1338765"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1338765"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
