Season Zero runs from July 20 through August 2.
Players choose one of three alliances led by Winter, Neo, or uThermal. Every co-op match contributes influence for your chosen side, expanding territory across the galactic map. At the end of the season the alliance with the highest score crowns its creator the first Galactic Emperor.
Participants unlock exclusive portraits and titles. The winning alliance also helps determine the global reward for all players and influences the theme of a future season. A community clip contest is open for players who capture standout moments (Medal.tv and similar tools work well) - top submissions featuring the creators can win cash prizes.
