These names will be patched into the game on July 1st.

Greetings Mercenaries. Starting today we’re holding a contest for new bot names for our Botzone Soldier Training database. You can have your bot name etched in history as a bot for future soldiers to train from. If you believe you have what it takes to stealthily defeat your enemy or lead your squad to victory in online warfare, then we want to hear from you!

Here’s how it works:

Starting now until May 9th at 8:00 AM Pacific, the registration site will be live. At the registration site, you must log in with your PSN credentials. Type in 3 bot names you wish to submit for possible inclusion. Read the Official Rules and then click on the box to confirm you read the rules.

This is how you could win: from the start of the competition phase on May 9th at 8:01 AM Pacific until May 16th at 9:00 AM Pacific, we’ll keep track of the leaderboard rankings in the following categories in all public multiplayer matches:

Most Grenade Kills

Most Interrogations

Most Rescues

Most VAN-Guard Kills

Most Headshots

Most Kills

All players from Argentina, Canada (excluding Quebec), Chile, Mexico, and the United States who successfully submitted their entry to the website prior to the competition phase are eligible to win. The top 5 registered players in each category will get 1 of their 3 submitted bot names into the game, assuming said names meet the entry requirements in Section 7 of the Official Rules. You can only win once, and only public matches will count.

So, in short:

Enter before 8:00 AM Pacific on May 9th right here. Play as many public multiplayer matches as you can, in any game mode (without sucking), to increase your chance of winning.

Here’s what you need to participate: a PS Vita system, the Killzone Mercenary game (patched to the latest version), and an internet connection. That’s it!

Winners will be announced via PlayStation.Blog.

See you on the battlefield!
