PlanetSide 2 One-Year Anniversary Bundle and WarStories Competition

European publisher ProSiebenSat.1 Games and developer Sony Online Entertainment are celebrating the first anniversary of PlanetSide 2. Since its release on 20th November 2012, the popular online action game has captivated more than 6 million players worldwide. To celebrate the first birthday of the online action game, PlanetSide 2 players are being given the one-time opportunity to obtain sought-after boosts and valuable in-game items with the “One-Year Anniversary Bundle”.

What’s more, European players can share their most exciting PlanetSide 2 experiences with the community in the “Share your WarStories” community campaign: The best stories will be transformed exclusively into high-quality graphic novels by Colin M. Winkler. Great prizes will be raffled amongst all participants.

The battle is over but the threat remains!

It is a hopeless, desperate and bold resistance against enemy of sheer indomitable numbers, the deafening click of the empty magazine, spelling the downfall of all – until the last second when an army of allied Galaxies blackens the sky, and salvation approaches in the form of alert and well-equipped comrades.

Planetside2 Warstories

Many of the exciting tales that PlanetSide 2 players have to tell since the war on Auraxis has reignited might start out like this. Tales of allies and of deceit, of honourable comrades and relentless opponents, of gruelling battles for coveted posts and carefully planned strategies that bought about the decisive turning point in a battle. It is these stories and moments that give PlanetSide 2 its completely unique character and that now offer players across Europe the big chance to scoop some great prizes.

Become a hero in the chronicles of PlanetSide 2

PlanetSide 2 fans have the one-time opportunity to win their experiences on Auraxis in graphic novel form – now. Any PlanetSide 2 player sharing their best and most exciting “WarStories” with the entire world can become a celebrated comic-book hero by sending them to the email address warstories@p7s1games.net between 20/11/2013 and 17/12/2013. All of the submitted stories will be presented to the European PlanetSide 2 community between 04/12/2013 and 07/01/2014 and the most exciting stories will be voted for.

The PlanetSide 2 Team at ProSiebenSat.1 Games will then choose the winning stories, which will then find their way into the colourful world of illustrator Colin M. Winkler. In addition to detailed and vivid comic book interpretations of the most exciting WarStories, ProSiebenSat.1 Games is also giving away many other cool prizes, such as graphics cards, mice and hoodies.

PlanetSide 2 Comic

Peter Brolly, Productmanager for PlanetSide 2 at ProSiebenSat.1 Games, reviewing an exciting first year with PlanetSide 2. "What can I say: it’s been an absolutely fantastic first year! There have been so many amazing moments over the past twelve months where we in the team can safely say that every minute we’ve spent on this game has been totally worth it: the close co-operation with our incredible EU outfits, the fun we’ve had working on our new web show “Warpgate” and above all else – the awesome feeling of being part of something as huge as PlanetSide 2. No game comes close to offering the exhilaration experienced in epic battles here, and our community have as much to do with that as those who work on the game. So thanks to all our players for continuing to make PlanetSide 2 so amazing and well, see you on all on the battlefield!”
