‘Feedback we’ve definitely heard:’ THE FINALS dev explains Las Vegas rework and future maps

Season six of THE FINALS brought a rework to Las Vegas in the form of the Las Vegas Stadium, which received mixed feedback from players as it seemingly lost some of its glitzy identity.

Las Vegas Stadium is the updated version of the Las Vegas map in THE FINALS that looks a lot like Fortune Stadium now, themed all around the season six sponsors. The rework aims to reduce clutter in the interior spaces, but players immediately pointed out it looks a bit “too empty,” worrying that the developer sacrificed realism for esports. During an interview with Embark Studios on March 20, Dot Esports spoke with the design director, Matt Lowe, about the thought process behind the rework and the approach to designing future maps.
