• The qualification rounds launch on September 13th with The Battle of the Tribes
• A fierce competition among 12 tribes will take place in November
• Six finalists will travel to Stockholm for the live finals on December 6th

The Battle of Polytopia is available for free on the Epic Games Store this week, and the timing is perfect. With the $10,000 World Championship approaching quickly, new players have an ideal opportunity to jump in, master the basics, and potentially secure a spot at the live finals in Stockholm this December. While it may seem unlikely, there’s no harm in aiming high.

Kicking off on September 13th, Polytopia’s championship starts with The Battle of the Tribes, a qualification phase spanning ten weeks. Each weekend features tournaments where you’ll compete in the Might game mode. You’ll engage in best-of-three, single-elimination matches to capture capitals.

Each qualifier will crown a champion for one of Polytopia’s 12 tribes, setting the stage for November’s Face Off round, which narrows down the field to six finalists. These six players will then travel to Stockholm for the in-person finals on December 6th, complete with a studio audience, expert commentary, and the chance to shine at Midjiwan’s headquarters.

The stakes are high: $4,000 for the winner, $2,000 for the runner-up, $1,500 each for third and fourth place, and $500 for the remaining two finalists. If you’re eager to test your skills, entry is free and open to anyone 18 or older. You can sign up through Challengermode’s Polytopia Official Space or directly within the game via Multiplayer > Tournaments.

With no entry fees, cash prizes on the line, and free access to the game this week, there has never been a better time to see how your strategy compares. Download The Battle of Polytopia now for free. Visit the official website for more information. Your journey toward glory—and hopefully a seat in Stockholm—begins today.
