Only contributions submitted during the Sweepstakes Period will be eligible for entry into the Sweepstakes. No other
methods of entry will be accepted. All entries become the property of Sponsor and will not be returned. Entries are limited
to individuals only; commercial enterprises and business entities are not eligible. Use of a false account will disqualify an

computer difficulties and other technological problems.
Entries are subject to any applicable restrictions or eligibility requirements listed herein. Entries will be deemed to have
been made by the authorized account holder of the email or telephone phone number submitted at the time of entry and
qualification. Multiple participants are not permitted to share the same email address. Should multiple users of the same
e-mail account or mobile phone number, as applicable, enter the Sweepstakes and a dispute thereafter arises regarding the
identity of the entrant, the Authorized Account Holder of said e-mail account or mobile phone account at the time of entry
will be considered the entrant. “Authorized Account Holder” is defined as the natural person who is assigned an e-mail
address or mobile phone number by an Internet access provider, on-line service provider, telephone service provider or
other organization which is responsible for assigned e-mail addresses, phone numbers or the domain associated with the

for online entries. When applicable, the website administrator’s computer will be deemed the official time keeping device

sole discretion, that multiple entries were submitted by the same entrant in violation of the Sweepstakes Rules.
WINNER SELECTION AND NOTIFICATION: Sponsor shall select the prize winner(s) (collectively, the “Winner”)
on or about July 24, 2026 (“Selection Date”) by random drawing or other randomized process from among all eligible
entries. The Winner will be notified via the email address provided in the entry form. Notification of the Winner shall be
deemed to have occurred immediately upon sending of the notification by Sponsor. Selected winner(s) will be required to
respond (as directed) to the notification within 3 business days of attempted notification. The only entries that will be
considered eligible entries are entries received by Sponsor within the Sweepstakes Period. The odds of winning depend
on the number of eligible entries received. The Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to choose only two (2)
alternative winners in the event that that a possible winner has been disqualified, fails to respond timely to the notification,
or is deemed ineligible for any reason. In the case the alternate winners are also disqualified, fail to respond timely to the
notification, or are deemed ineligible for any reason, IGN shall not be obligated to pick any further alternate winners for
the Sweepstakes and the prize(s) shall remain un-awarded.
PRIZE: One (1) Grand Prize Winner will receive the following prize (collectively, the “Prize”):
– 1x Guild Wars 3x Alienware 16 Aurora Gaming Laptop with an Intel® CoreTM Ultra 9 processor, inspired by
the new game, valued at approximately two thousand eight hundred dollars ($2,800.00 USD).
No more than the stated number of prize(s) will be awarded, and all prize(s) listed above will be awarded. Actual retail
value of the Prize may vary due to market conditions. The difference in value of the Prize as stated above and value at
time of notification of the Winner, if any, will not be awarded. No cash or prize substitution is permitted, except at the
discretion of Sponsor. The Prize is non-transferrable. If the Prize cannot be awarded due to circumstances beyond the
control of Sponsor, a substitute Prize and/or cash value of equal or greater retail value will be awarded; provided, however,
that if a Prize is awarded but remains unclaimed or is forfeited by the Winner, the Prize may not be re-awarded, in
Sponsor’s sole discretion. In the event that more than the stated number of prize(s) becomes available for any reason,
Sponsor reserves the right to award only the stated number of prize(s) by a random drawing among all legitimate, un-
awarded, eligible prize claims.

shorter time if required by exigencies) of receipt of such documents: an affidavit of eligibility, a liability release, and
(where imposing such condition is legal) a publicity release covering eligibility, liability, advertising, publicity and media
appearance issues (collectively, the “Prize Claim Documents”). If an entrant is unable to verify the information submitted
with their entry, the entrant will automatically be disqualified and their prize, if any, will be forfeited. The Prize will not
be awarded until all such properly executed and notarized Prize Claim Documents are returned to Sponsor. Prize(s) won
by an eligible entrant who is a minor in his or her state of residence will be awarded to minor’s parent or legal guardian,
who must sign and return all required Prize Claim Documents. In the event the Prize Claim Documents are not returned
