==Background==
THE FINALS takes place about 75 years in the future, roughly around the year 2100. It is the greatest virtual game show on the planet, with a large, global fan base, and considered a window to a bigger world outside of the real one - known as the Meatspace. But most people spend their time in the Virtual World. Contestants join through VR-technology to access the hyper-realistic [[Maps|arenas]] and fight for fame, riches, and the favor of generous seasonal [[Sponsors]].

==Arenas==
THE FINALS prides itself on entertainment and spectacle! Each of the maps are virtual recreations of world famous locations so cause as much destruction as you want. Gameplay Elements such as, Time of day, Weather, [[Gameplay#Map Variants|Map Variants]], and [[Gameplay#Game Show Events|Game Show Events]] will mix things up, so expect the unexpected.

==Loadout==
THE FINALS is not a hero shooter as much as it is a hero builder. You don't make a hero, you customize them. To this effect THE FINALS has a three [[Builds|build]] system, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.

The combination of [[specializations]], [[weapons]] and [[gadgets]] can change a contestant into a medic, an assassin into an opportunistic objective player, and a tank into a brawler.

==In-Game Sponsors==
Sponsors play a major role in THE FINALS, as they are currently the main vehicle for the world and narrative of the game. Sponsors want exposure to the game show's massive audience for their brand and products/services, and sponsored gear is a sign of a success for Contestants.
