Throne and Liberty Gauntlet contest opens

The Throne and Liberty Gauntlet contest is accepting original cosmetic designs from August 20 through September 3 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific. FirstSpark Games and Amazon Games will shortlist ten entries, then let the community vote from September 8 through September 11 for a design that may enter the game as an official cosmetic.

Throne and Liberty Gauntlet contest: confirmed details

Each participant can submit one design through the official contest form and must use the supplied Gauntlet template. Artists may change colours, textures and materials and add small decorative pieces, but they cannot alter the underlying weapon shape. The developer says creativity matters more than professional art experience, so a clear concept is eligible even without polished production art.

What changes for players

The restrictions keep every entry readable as the same weapon class while leaving room for different visual themes. Entrants should design both Gauntlets as a coherent pair and avoid relying on a silhouette change that the rules prohibit. Reaching the final ten does not itself guarantee implementation; the winning concept may still be adapted for the game.

Timing and wider context

The submission window closes before the public vote begins, giving the community a fixed finalist pool rather than a rolling gallery. Anyone entering should retain original working files and read the official terms before uploading, especially the eligibility and intellectual-property sections attached to the contest form.

The feature list and timing above reflect the developer’s announcement published on August 20, 2026. Future hotfixes can adjust balance or availability, so live values should be checked against the current client.

For Throne and Liberty, the practical checkpoint is the live client: confirm the installed version, platform notes and regional rollout before relying on a scheduled feature. Store availability, maintenance windows and certification can create timing differences even when the developer announces one date for the wider release.
