On 12 June, the free-to-play shooter The Finals officially launched its 7th season, titled "THE DIVIDE". This is not just another update, but a real clash of two titans - VAIIYA and CNS - that split the Arena itself and brought with it many innovations that will change your gaming experience.

Here's What We Know

The seventh season promises players completely new dynamics and strategic opportunities. The centrepiece of the update is the new NOZOMI/CITADEL map, which, like the season's name, is divided into two contrasting parts. One half, owned by VAIIYA, impresses with its futuristic architecture, while the other, controlled by CNS, represents chaos, bright colours and glitchy design elements. This split is not just visual - it creates unique tactical conditions where players must adapt to an ever-changing battlefield that moves from narrow corridors to open spaces.

In addition to the dramatic changes on the battlefield, THE DIVIDE has brought with it new gadgets that will enrich the arsenal of each class:

  • H+ Infuser (Light class): This gadget allows you to heal your teammates by shooting them. Accuracy matters, and gratitude is up to you!
  • Breach Drill (Intermediate): Forget about walls! Attach the Breach Drill to any surface and it will penetrate, blinding whoever is on the other side before detonating. Ideal for quickly clearing rooms.
  • Healing Emitter (Heavy Class): Tough players need reliable healing. Throw the Healing Emitter near your squad to gradually restore health.

Embark Studios has also made a number of changes to existing gadgets and game modes, including improved aiming assistance for controllers, reduced recovery times for some abilities, and revised the penalty system in ranked games to reduce penalties for quitting a match if the other player has already left the game.

An interesting new feature is the Legacy Battle Passes system, which will allow players to unlock some of the most famous rewards from previous seasons if they missed them before. This is a great chance for new players or those who missed out on past events to get the items they want.
