THE FINALS Scotty will say your name in Season 12
With Dynamic Commentary, Scotty can call out Contestants by name when they do something worth highlighting
This is a first in any FPS
Honestly, I've wanted this since Season 1
New Light gadget: Translocator
You can mark any object and swap positions with it if in range
For example, you can teleport an enemy turret out of a room it's blocking, or place breach charges on an oil barrel, swap the barrel into the enemy position, and trigger the charges
Good time to be a light main 😅
As you all know, we’re huge THE FINALS fans too
I’ve put thousands of hours into that game and still play it every day
After what we built for ARC Raiders, it felt right to do the same for THE FINALS
So with the game’s biggest season coming up, we’re launching:
The Contestant, a community hub for THE FINALS
Just like ARC Radar, you can follow it on X at @ContestantGG
And the website is https://t.co/gAYuOuGQak, which is similar to ARC Radar. It currently serves as a foundation for us to build cool stuff for you guys
I’d also like to thank everyone for the love they showed for our other announcement. I honestly didn’t expect the views we got on the website from that post 😅❤️

Embark plans to add more modes to Solo Showdown
Thermal Vision has been reworked into the True Vision specialization
Instead of the old black and white, it now clearly displays the environment and team colors
THE FINALS new gadget: Mimic Device lets you temporarily disguise as a prop
While active you gain the prop's effects, so teammates can launch you if you turn into a red canister
Also if you get reshaped while disguised you'll explode
