Launching on Dec. 12, THE FINALS Season 5 will transport players to the streets of Bernal for the most high-stakes competition yet.

With destructible environments, turn Bernal’s historic charm into the Arena of your dreams. Will you uncover its secrets or leave it in ruins? The choice is yours!
Season 5 also introduces a whole new way for players to connect with each other through Clubs, a social system inspired by real-world sports teams. Whether solo or in a squad, Clubs offer new ways for players to connect, collaborate and compete. Contestants can complete challenges as a team with Club Contracts to earn XP and fans, or use Team-Up Requests to easily find teammates for their favorite modes.
Players can also expect new weapons and gadgets, including:
- New Weapon — ShAK-12: A powerhouse rifle for the Heavy, the ShAK-12 unleashes two bullets per shot to deliver devastating stopping power with every trigger pull.
- New Weapon — Cerberus 12GA: A break-action triple barrel shotgun for the Medium class, equipped with incendiary shells capable of igniting contestants and the environment in fiery chaos.
- New Gadget — Gravity Vortex: A deployable gadget for the Light class that creates a remote-triggered singularity, pulling players, objects and objectives in. It is perfect for trapping foes or suspending objectives.
- New Gadget — Lockbolt Launcher: A Heavy gadget that fires an anchor, tethering up to three players, objectives or items. Anchored players can move but will be quickly pulled back if they stray too far.
Season 5 also features the return of the fan-favorite sponsor ISEUL-T, alongside two brand-new sponsors, DISSUN and VAIYA, who bring their unique styles and energy to the roster. Additionally, this season marks an exciting expansion as THE FINALS launches on PlayStation 4, welcoming a whole new audience to the action.
