Loric Games officially revealed the winners of the contest on Echoes of Elysium. What started as a community challenge eventually turned into a truly stunning display of creativity and worldbuilding.
Players were asked to construct anything, from skyborne citadels and all the way to war-ready juggernauts. They were to use the tool Echoes of Elysium: Airship Builder over on Steam. The development team at Loric Games then chose the winning designs which stood out for their visual artistry, originality, and sheer execution.
The development team shared that after going over a lot of entries, they managed to choose four standout runner-ups. According to the team, the designs they chose were those that blew away the judges with their creativity, style, and imagination. The runner-ups are:
- Crimson Banshee by Marauder Shields
- Cuncuna by Monsieur TT
- The Molduga by jackyzilla
- The Leviathan by jennifernapier
Each runner-up gets to take home an exclusive Echoes of Elysium T-shirt and a Steam key for the full game when Echoes of Elysium is launched.
The Top Prize
While it's worth noting that what the runner-ups came up with was excellent, there was one design which stood above the rest. The Grand Prize Winner of the Echoes of Elysium: Airship Building Contest was the Pathendrax by Merlin The Wizard.
According to the development team, Merlin’s airship was able to soar above the competition through a design that was able to capture the spirit, scale, and imagination of Echoes of Elysium.
As the grand prize winner, Merlin received a custom 3D-printed model of their winning ship plus an exclusive Echoes of Elysium T-shirt and a Steam key for the full game. In addition, this design now becomes part of the lore.

Community Rewards
It goes without saying that there was strong support from the community. To thank them, the studio revealed that 20 additional participants have been chosen and to receive a free Steam key for Echoes of Elysium when it launches.
Those who didn’t get a chance to enter can still make their mark since The Echoes of Elysium: Airship Builder remains free to download on Steam. Each design made can be saved as a blueprint and then brought to life in the full Echoes of Elysium survival RPG when it launches.
