We’ve just hit the second anniversary of the 8-Bit Armies launch and it’s time to celebrate!
Beginning today we’re starting weekly contests with prize packages consisting of Steam gift cards and free games for players at the top of our leaderboards! Each week, the leaderboards will be reset at 5pm PST (00:00 UDT) giving everyone a fresh chance to make it into the top spots. We’ll also be drawing names randomly and giving away prizes just for participating in the weekly tournaments.
And if PvP isn’t your thing – we’ll have a some Co-Op events to participate in for those of you trying to finish up the Co-Op campaign and earn those last few stars. Specific times will be arranged to get online with other players (and us!) to finally beat those missions on hard mode and get those last few Steam Achievements.
A full calendar of events is below for the month of May. Tournaments begin immediately after the previous one ends and all winners are subject to Petroglyph review before prizes are awarded. All times are listed as PST. We will create posts and announcements specific to these events to explain further and announce winners. All winners are excluded from winning multiple prizes and cannot use more than one account in the tournament.
To participate, make sure you play a RANKED, QUICK-MATCH game. These are the only games accounted for in the tournament standings.
