Reminder about Community Contests

You can join these community contests where we'll be giving away copies of the game at launch! This is one of the amazing screenshots by @pino44io. Speedrunners in Discord have managed to complete the level in under 6 minutes!

Speedrun Contest

The fastest recorded speedrun of the playtest level will be crowned as Napoleon’s strongest soldier. To enter, players will need to record and post their speedrun somewhere where we and community moderators can confirm your time. This can be YouTube, Twitch Vod or another publicly accessible video hosting platform.

  • There will be categories for inbounds and out of bounds runs.

  • Speedrun submissions must be also linked to the Discord for tracking.

Fanart and Screenshot Contests 📸

We will select winners who post fan art and screenshots. They can be posted to Steam, our Discord server, social media or Reddit to enter.

How to Submit:

  • Discord - Must join the server and post to the contest channel

  • Steam - Must follow the game on Steam and post to the steam fourms

  • Social Media - must use #valormortis in a publicly visible post and follow the official Valor Mortis account. Twitter, Instagram, Bluesky, and TikTok are eligible.
