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.

Virtual reality is where most people spend their time, and THE FINALS allows them to join as contestants to play in hyper-realistic arenas and fight for fame, money, and the favor of generous seasonal Sponsors. Both THE FINALS and the showrunners appear to be overseen by MultiCo, a company with origins dating back to the 1980s.

Recently, THE FINALS was hacked by a rogue group known as CNS, who claimed they were taking back what was theirs and changed the game by adding new items, maps and modes. Although their existence was acknowledged by MultiCo and THE FINALS commentators, Scotty and June, CNS true motivations are still unknown.

After the CNS take-over, the showrunners brought in cybersecurity experts VAIIYA, to stabilize the game show. During their shutdown attempt, it was revealed that THE FINALS is a sentient AI program capable of defending itself. Under this threat, THE FINALS AI deployed countermeasures that rebooted the system into a different time and era in the 1500s.

While the system appeared to stabilize, the introduction of Terminal Attack was received poorly, forcing MultiCo to send one of their own to meet with the sponsors and set the stage for Season 4. It welcomed back the heart and soul of THE FINALS with Ranked Cashout and a new map that featured sectors dedicated to different sponsors. CNS activities remain unknown, with the exception of a few hidden messages in the Kyoto arena.

Sponsors play a major role in THE FINALS, as they are the main vehicle for the 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.

THE FINALS has a diverse cast of characters, including former contestants, patrons, CEOs, mascots, and commentators. Although numerous characters are established, most of their stories remain a mystery.

-Death to you The Finals/embark studio devs and fanboys, you racist & mainstream slaves. Death to you for openly promoting the disgusting & useless & nasty & racist so called "health" "sector" in your garbage game. Death to you for adding that garbage loser loadout with the white cross ("plus" symbol), named using a nasty 5 letter word. That garbage moron is utter trash and so is every loser like you who supports those dimwits. Death to you for openly selling yourself to that garbage "sector" and praising the shills who work for such a trashy "sector". Death to you for promoting those dummy childish kiddies, who work for such a garbage "sector". Death to every moron who works for or supports that dumpster "sector". Death to you The Finals devs, you silly clowns. Death to you and death to every loser who uses that disgusting & racist 6 letter ugly word used by the trashholes ["univeristies", more like DUMPSTERversities]. "The Finals" is utterly trash, and the devs have no potential, and a complete and utter laughable failure.  One last thing:  Death to you for insulting the Engineer class. The Engineer class is the best, and the other "classes" are complete garbage. You mention the other trashy roles in your garbage Finals game, yet you make no hints or references to ANY Engineer class. How silly and clownish! What an ultra mainstream dummies you are. The Engineer is the best class, and better than the other garbage roles you promote.What an utter shills you are Finals devs. Hopefully The Finals devs will be set on fire alive soon. Hope you have a tragic life and painful death losers.
