Gigantic: Rampage Edition
Release Date: 9th April
Platforms: PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC
Gigantic is back!
This beloved 3rd person shooter / MOBA hybrid was loved by many, but not enough, when it originally released. Gigantic unfortunately “did not resonate with as many players as we’d hoped,” developer Motiga said back in 2018. And now this cult favorite is back for a second try in 2024.
Gigantic returns with the same action-packed multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) gameplay that pits teams of heroes against each other in intense strategic combat. Players choose from a diverse roster of unique characters, each with their own abilities and playstyles, and work together to defeat the enemy team and their massive guardian creatures.
This time around, the “Rampage Edition” introduces new content and enhancements, including additional heroes, maps, and gameplay improvements, making it the ultimate version of this thrilling MOBA title.
