00:00season 9 is called dragon rising and it's one of our most ambitious themes to date

00:27it's inspired by china's ancient past and its cutting-edge future all brought together in a

00:32way that feels distinctly like the finals let's go through some of the key highlights of the season

00:37starting with seasonal content and arenas you'll see the inspiration of the theme throughout the

00:42battle pass where we've drawn from chinese history folklore the zodiac legendary figures and the bold

00:52aesthetics of modern china creating new contestant looks weapon skins and gear that blend heritage

00:58with a futuristic edge to bring the theme fully to life we've built an entirely new map for our

01:06arena fangwai city it's our take on a chinese mega city combining influences from across the country

01:13into one place in it you'll find towering skyscrapers riverfront vistas lush temples and gardens

01:21and dense urban blocks the map is divided into clear distinct zones to make navigation easier

01:27especially for new players with strong visual transitions and solid structures guiding the flow

01:33of play dragon rising is our way of celebrating the stories the scale and the spirit of china

01:40and bringing that energy into the world of the finals

01:43next up is something we're incredibly excited about a brand new core mode for the finals it's big

01:52it's chaotic it's directional and it brings an entirely different rhythm to the game we call it point

01:58break point break is an eight versus eight mode where two teams face off in a asymmetric challenge with

02:05one team attacking and the other defending fighting in waves and pushing the front line of the battle

02:10forward by fulfilling objectives in phases this is large-scale objective driven action in a casual mode

02:18the front line gets pushed forward across the map when attackers destroy objectives

02:22defenders dig in hold the line and try to shut them down it's fast it's messy it's strategic

02:28and it feels like you're part of a huge battle unfolding around you this is a mode where you always

02:34know where the fight is where the action is headed and what your team needs from you

02:38it's competitive without the pressure of smaller modes and it gives players room to experiment

02:43navigate and choose how they want to contribute expect explosions momentum shifts desperate last

02:49dance full team pushes all of it happening across massive evolving front lines this is point break

02:56a new way to play the finals and one of the biggest additions of season nine

03:07next let's talk about the world tour we've taken everything players loved about it we imagine its

03:12structure and brought all of it together in one place instead of a distinctive game mode world tour

03:18now includes all modes and represents your journey as a contestant in a season of the finals in the new

03:24world tour every mode contributes to your journey no matter what you choose to play you're progressing

03:30your badge earning rewards and moving forward throughout the season it's flexible it's unified

03:35and it adapts to whatever style of play you enjoy we're also introducing a new map view that shows the

03:40full seasonal path this includes events ltms and everything happening throughout the season laid out

03:46clearly so you always know what's coming next and sponsors have been redesigned as well you can now sign

03:52with any sponsor you like whenever you like and change them on the fly no more being locked in

03:58it's all about giving you freedom choice and a reason to mix things up we'll also be adding new

04:03loyalty tracks for generous official sponsors of season 9 volpi and ospius these changes are coming

04:10to you at the start of season 9 and we hope they will add depth and cohesion to your gameplay experience

04:15and your journey as a contestant in the finals simple flexible and built around how players actually

04:21want to play now let's talk about ranked ranked still has its own progression path but now it also

04:30feeds into world tour and the overall journey as well no matter which path you prefer competitive or

04:35casual your time in the game always moves you forward we hope this creates a much smoother connection

04:41between these two experiences we're also updating the rs system where we've adjusted how rs is

04:46calculated in ranked to make matches feel fairer more stable and more reflective of actual performance

04:52the goal is simple a ranking system that feels competitive but also trustworthy and finally

04:57rewards both ranked and the world tour now feed into a unified reward structure as you rank up you earn

05:04reward coins and at the end of the season you decide what to spend them on instead of the game

05:09choosing for you you pick the rewards that matter the most to you but don't worry they'll be visually

05:15distinct from past rewards which will never be obtainable again this is a more flexible more

05:20transparent way to progress and a better reflection of the work you put in all season we hope you'll

05:25like these changes and the freedom of choice that comes with them season 9 also brings a wide set

05:30of system and balance updates across the game a lot of these changes come directly from player feedback

05:36and we're aimed at making combat feel more reliable more expressive and more strategic a few key

05:41updates include the dome shield and mesh shield now block the winch claw providing clearer counterplay

05:47we've improved the accuracy of the ks23 giving it a more similar feel to the bfr titan and we've

05:54decreased the tactical reload animation of the model to improve its responsiveness among many other things

05:59customization is also getting a boost you can now randomize your favorite skins and we've improved

06:07previews for stickers sprays borders and player cards we're also adding customization options to the

06:15in-game tablet letting you make even more of the experience feel like your own for cash out we're

06:22introducing a new system called double jeopardy which adds a fresh layer of strategy to how teams approach

06:28objective play doubling a cash out is still possible but now it's a high stakes event where the team

06:34that starts the double risk losing some of their cash if you don't finish the job it turns doubles

06:39into dramatic do-or-die moments with real consequences we're expanding privacy options as well giving

06:47players more control over how they appear and how they interact with others in the game it's something

06:52many players have asked for and we're happy to deliver it you can now also invite party members directly

06:57from your clubs making it easier to bring your community into matches without jumping through

07:01menus and finally we've made a series of performance optimizations across the game some of this work

07:08comes from supporting the new 8v8 mode and some of it is focused on individual maps like kyoto

07:14altogether these improvements should mean smoother matches across the board season 9 isn't just new

07:20content it's a stronger more flexible version of the finals from top to bottom finally we have usps and

07:26gameplay systems where we're continuing to expand our smooth destruction system across the game for

07:31season 9 monaco now has full smooth destruction across almost all buildings and fangwai city will

07:37ship with it from day one we're rolling this out map by map so not every arena will have it at launch

07:42but the experience will grow over time with this system collapsing buildings have real knock-on effects

07:48as they break into each other they change the layout as they fall and open up new play spaces

07:52as structures shift and collide we've also made several visual improvements where smaller objects

07:58now stay attached to collapsing structures more reliably which not only looks better but also

08:02improves performance and we're updating destruction effects so they better reflect the actual material and

08:07shape of what's being destroyed walls floors concrete glass it all feels more physical more grounded

08:14and more satisfying for our instant replay feature we're adding an opt-in opt-out option that gives

08:20players more control over when replays appear and how they want to experience match highlights the

08:25goal is flexibility and clarity for players who want more choice and ties into our universal goal of

08:31respecting players time all of this and more is coming in season nine it's the start of year three
