Embark Studios has offered a glimpse of what's to come in The Finals Season 6, teasing fans on social media with the prospect of a medieval-themed map set in Stockholm. This exciting news comes on the heels of a recent AMA with members of The Finals’ development team, where they discussed future plans and ideas for the game.

Despite its innovative gameplay featuring destructible environments and team-based combat, The Finals has faced an uphill battle in 2024. The free-to-play first-person shooter enjoyed initial success, even briefly outperforming established titles like Call of Duty: Warzone and Fortnite as the top free game on Xbox in the UK and US.  However, player numbers have since dwindled, leaving Embark Studios looking to revitalize the game with upcoming seasons.

The upcoming Season 5 introduces a Mexico-inspired map, along with a variety of new features and in-game items.  Further details about Season 6 remain scarce, although the recent Reddit AMA provided some intriguing insights.  Executive producer Rob Runesson and creative director Gustav Tilleby expressed enthusiasm for a medieval map concept, hinting at the possibility of a Stockholm Old Town setting, drawing inspiration from Sweden's rich history.

The development team also addressed player queries regarding PowerShift maps, indicating they are exploring the potential for adding more in the future.  They urged players to "stay tuned" for further updates.  Additionally, a requested feature allowing players to randomize weapon skins, rather than manually switching them between matches, is reportedly high on the executive producer's priority list.

Acknowledging the game's struggles with declining player counts, Embark Studios confirmed ongoing marketing efforts aimed at attracting a wider player base across all regions.  While concrete details about Season 6 are still under wraps, these recent developments offer a glimmer of hope for The Finals and its future.
