Attention contestants! Embark Studios is launching Terminal Attack, a new, 5v5, tactical game mode to The Finals, for a limited time starting May 2nd.

In Terminal Attack, two teams of five take turns defending and attacking an objective. Attackers must deposit cash into a Terminal on the map with a decryption key, while defenders must do everything they can to stop them. 

Each match pits teams against each other in the best of seven rounds, where destruction persists between rounds. With one life, limited health regen, zero respawns, and healing beams and defibrillators disabled, this is the highest-stakes mode in THE FINALS yet. 

Terminal Attack requires strategic collaboration and encourages contestants to slow down, work together, and think twice – all while taking full advantage of the fully-destructible and dynamic world THE FINALS is known for.

Terminal Attack will be released alongside Update 2.6.0, which releases on Thursday, May 2. 

The Finals thrives on spectacle, so drive your fans wild with thrilling combat and your own personal flair as you compete for worldwide fame and the support of our discerning and stylish sponsors.

With different skills across body builds and a wide array of weapons and gadgets, you'll have all the tools to make your playstyle your own!

The World Is Your Weapon (And Enemy) - A skilled contender might go in guns blazing, but with environmental destruction in your arsenal, that’s just the start of what you can wield against your foes! All of our arenas can be altered, used, or reduced to rubble - and not just by you.

Your Rising Star - Ready for your close-up? Standing out in The Finals means the eyes of the world will be upon you, so you’d better look your best! Gather fans and fame as you craft a unique avatar with the help of our generous sponsors and dazzling customization options!

Key Features:

  • Truly Dynamic and Destructible Environments — Contestants fight it out in virtual playgrounds based on some of the world’s most iconic places. The arenas are immersive and fully destructible, powered by Embark’s new server-side destruction & movement system that ensures every player experiences the same impact to the world at the same time – whether it’s a piece of furniture blown apart or a whole building collapsing.
  • Maximum Player Expression — Deep visual and gameplay customization allows players to build their own unique contestant. From stealthy ninjas defeating opponents with a katana, to cowboys tanking with rocket launchers, every contestant can control who they are and how they play.
  • Rely on Your Instincts — Why impose limits to your imagination? In The Finals, if you think something might work, it probably will. Contestants need to rely on their intuition, use the environment to their advantage, and make full use of their bespoke arsenals and abilities to defeat their rivals and complete objectives.
  • The World’s Biggest Stage — All of this beautiful, brutal chaos is wrapped up into an over-the-top virtual game show, centered on a high-stakes tournament with eliminations between every high-tempo round. Teams of three will need to work together to advance. Lose, and you can jump right back into a new tournament — win, and you can reach The Finals.

The Finals is available for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam).
