The Finals players convinced they’ve discovered Season 2 map location

The Finals players are excitedly anticipating the release of Season 2 content and have begun speculating about the new map that will be released alongside a new host of content.

The Finals players have been getting hints and clues about the next season of content from the developers. From lore drops to unreleased cosmetics from trailers, players have put their heads together to find out what is coming in the much-anticipated wave of cosmetics and locations.

The Embark Studios game only has four maps at the moment, which are spiced up each round thanks to random variations.

But the current rotation is considered a little stale, just a few months after its official launch, and players are ready for a new map to destroy. Players have become convinced that they know where the next map will be by putting together early dev footage, and other press around the game.

The Finals Season 2 map speculation

With Season 2 just days away at this point, The Finals players are chomping at the bit for any information or theories on what’s to come in the massive update. Two separate Reddit posts have put forth the idea that the next The Finals map will be set in Japan.

One post is focused on early dev footage of the finals, which showcases a shop awning that looks like it has Japanese characters on it and a blue sign with a giant P on it that is in line with traffic poles in the region.

“I know it’s 4 years of difference but at least we got a clear idea and location of the upcoming map,” the post said.

The other post focused on unreleased cosmetics from past trailers, highlighting what looks like a Katana, and a Samurai skin.

Whether these clues all add up to the new map taking place in Japan has yet to be seen. So far, The Finals players seem up for the idea of jumping around and destroying a retro, or futuristic, Japanese landscape.

“Japan + retro theme = pure fun,” one fan said.

Season 2 of The Finals is set for a March 12 release date.
