Today, Square Enix and Amazon.com, in collaboration with a host of gaming partners including AMD and the team behind The Dark Mod, have announced the Ultimate THIEF mod contest. The contest is in celebration of the upcoming reboot to one of the most renowned stealth franchises in gaming history.
Square Enix and Amazon are looking for fans to submit entries in one of two categories:
- Either a short video playthrough of a mod they’ve created
Or
- A pitch for a mod they would like to create.
Essentially, you would need to have the ability to mod in order to enter the competition.
Once submitted all entries will be voted on by the community, members of the Thief development team and members of The Dark Mod team.
There will be ONE winner from each of the two categories and they will receive a host of prizes including:
- A high-end gaming rig from AMD which includes an AMD Radeon™ R9 290X graphics card
- An all-expenses paid trip to E3 2014 with Square Enix
- Steam cod for all Square Enix Games with the matching Prima Guide
- A bundle of game development books on Kindle
- An Amazon Kindle DX
Even if you don’t win, every entrant will receive a free digital version of Thief: Gold (1999) courtesy of Amazon.com.
Closing date for entries is 14 April 2014. Full terms and conditions apply.
