Prizes:

We’ll crown 5 winners, one for each new mercenary, and each winner will receive:

But that’s not all! Selected highlights will be featured in a montage on our official YouTube channel as a mini-trailer for the update!

The contest starts now, and you have until July 13th to submit your video. The winners will be announced around mid-July.

🎥 Recording Guidelines (Tech Specs):

To ensure your clip can be included in the final video:

  • Post your clip in the native resolution of the platform you’re using (no stress about hitting specific requirements for your post!).

  • If you’re selected as a winner, we’ll contact you to ask for your original, highest quality version of the clip (ideally 1920x1080 minimum, 60 FPS, .mp4 or .mov format).

  • Make sure to disable music, microphones, and background apps so we can clearly hear the game audio.

  • Keep audio levels consistent across clips.

Good luck, Blitzers! We can’t wait to see your tactical skills in action!
