The development team at From Software is launching a shield design contest for its upcoming Dark Souls 2, with all fans able to make their own patterns and then submit them, with a lucky winner able to see his creation in the final version of the game.

Those who want to take part need to visit the Facebook page for Dark Souls 2, download templates, create their shield and then upload it.

Fans can also choose to skip the above process and just cast a vote for their favorite creation.

The Dark Souls 2 shield creation contest will last for another 27 days and From Software will select six final designs to include in the RPG.

Dark Souls 2 will be released on the PC and on home console, with launch expected later this year or early in 2014.
