What would the internet be without memes? Probably a much less interesting and funny place.
Sometimes we use them to say something in just one image.
Sometimes we use them just for fun.
This time, you can use them to win.
Today, we are launching the official Humankind What If website and associated contest. For the next few weeks, we want you to share your memes about alternate history as we ask you: What if? What if?
What if the Khmer fought at the Battle of Hastings? What if the Roman empire had never fallen? What if you were able to reshape the course of history?
You may not be able to do that in game yet, but you can do so through memes. For 10 weeks, we will announce a new theme every week (Language for the first week) and ask you to share your memes for that theme to win prizes like game keys, or the chance to play Humankind before release as part of OpenDev. Then, our weekly winners will face off in the community voting challenge for a chance at the grand prize: The entire Sega catalog of PC games on Steam!
You can find all the details of the contest as well as a meme generator over on the official What If website.
And don’t forget, you can still sign up for OpenDev for a chance to participate even if you don’t fancy joining the contest!
We’re excited to see what you will come up with every week!
Have fun
