THE FINALS Season 2 sees a new map, SYS$HORIZON, added to the game alongside a new 5v5 game mode (Power Shift), new weapons, new gadgets and in-game functionality, like Private Matches. Following a Season 2 pre-launch event I attended, in this video I look at the creative influences on the game, both for gameplay and, perhaps more importantly, the game's lore and story, which may see the game define a completely new sub-genre of shooter games.
