The Finals Will be Holding Another Open Beta Event

Embark Studios have announced a new Open Beta for The Finals is set to take place tomorrow, October 26, across PC and consoles.

Indie game developer and publisher Embark Studios will be holding a brand new Open Beta for their game The Finals, set to take place tomorrow! The team isn't really setting up a long period of time for you to prepare for this one, as they are welcoming everyone and throwing you in the deep end tomorrow, October 26, on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. We have the rundown of everything you can expect to experience in this new test period, as it will run until November 5.

The Finals Open Beta

The Open Beta introduces the brand new Skyway Stadium arena to the map rotation, along with an all-new game mode — Bank-It. Additionally, the beta includes a free BattlePass with 16 exclusive, permanent rewards that players can unlock and keep for launch. The beta features cross-play and cross-progression between PC and consoles.  The goal of the Open Beta is to validate improvements and changes made from earlier testing on PC, stress-test the game's server and backend infrastructure at scale, ensure the team is capable to quickly patch and update the game across platforms, and get feedback on the console and gamepad experience. To get a sneak peek at the unparalleled chaos and destruction you'll wreak later this week in The Finals, take a look at the latest trailer, released today HERE.

What To Expect

Iconic Arenas

• New Skyway Stadium — Experience the ever-changing Skyway Stadium, where players can test their limits in this treacherous playground.
• Monaco – Play through the cobblestone streets of Monaco, making it a perfect map for destruction and closed-quartered combat.
• Seoul – Fight atop towering skyscrapers in downtown Seoul with fast-paced, vertical gameplay. Be careful to watch where you step so you don't fall.

New and Updated Game Modes

• New Bank-It — Four teams of three battle it out for coins in this casual-friendly, combat-focused mode. The team that reaches the max limit first, or the team with the most cash banked at the end of the round, wins.
• Unranked Tournament — A Cashout mode where four teams of three compete to find cashboxes and deposit them in vaults, in an unranked tournament format with three rounds and 24 players in total.
• Ranked Tournament — A Cashout mode with four teams of three in a ranked tournament format with four rounds and 48 players in total.
• Quick Cash — A casual-friendly variant of Cashout in a 3v3v3 format. This mode has longer matches, faster respawn timers, faster extraction times, and only one vault at a time.
• Practice Range — A place for contestants to test weapons, gadgets, movement—and, of course, destruction.

Contestant Progression

• The free Open Beta BattlePass will include 16 exclusive rewards that, if unlocked, will be transferred to the full game at launch.
• Item progression will include 5 Mastery Levels per weapon.

League Progression

Five Leagues (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond) will include permanent rewards for each tier, along with an exclusive Legendary Diamond Weapon Skin reward for contestants who reach the Diamond tier.
