'Goliath' Gets Release Date - Trailer

An open-world, action-adventure game with crafting and role-playing elements, Goliath is set in a universe where players build and customize massive robots to overcome the challenges they face.

Everybody Makes Mistakes. You Make Giants.

After stumbling through a mysterious rift, you find yourself in a mysterious world consisting of the jumbled fragments of a hundred dead civilizations. Ruined buildings from 1930s America share space with wrecked pirate ships and the overgrown remains of spaceships from a far-flung future. Several powerful factions battle for control of this strange and broken land, but even the strongest amongst them tremble in fear of the monstrous giants that roam the land. Fortunately, you can build giants of your own! Search the world for the items you need to craft tools and weapons, including giant robotic suits that will help you even the odd against the enormous creatures you confront!

Welcome to the world of GOLIATH, an action adventure game in which you find yourself in a dangerous and mysterious world full of colossal monsters and potential allies. To survive among these giant creatures you must scavenge for resources and create giant mechanical suits called Goliaths to battle or barter for your life. Starting with simple wooden versions, you will learn to create dozens of different Goliaths from a variety of materials: wood, stone, metal and other more unique materials found throughout the world. Your Goliath can be customized and outfitted with unique weapons to create options that are perfect for every situation and players’ preferences. But these giant robots won’t solve every problem. You’ll also need to craft items and tools for basic survival, build shelters and fortresses, and choose which factions to side with in the war that’s sweeping across the land.

“Many of us grew up playing with toy robots, imagining we were in control of them,” said Jeremy Zoss, Marketing Manager for Octopus Tree. “Goliath delivers that experience, as players can fully customize and control mechanical giants with four-player co-op in an all-out battle for world domination.”

“We are thrilled to be partnering with Octopus Tree on Goliath,” said Artem Bochkarev, Producer at Goliath developer Whalebox Studio. “We have worked extremely close with the team at Octopus Tree since the start of development, and together we have made Goliath the best game it can be.”

Key Features:

  • Build, Create and Destroy: Construct and customize giant Goliath robots, crafted from the materials found and tools earned along your journey to help level the playing field against the world’s colossal beasts.
  • Living World: Procedurally generated environments, quests and events, and a living ecosystem with changing weather and day and night cycles ensure that no two games of Goliath will ever be the same.
  • Adapt to Your Environment: Players must consider how different weather conditions affect various Goliath types while interacting with countless creatures to hunt and fight.
  • Boss Battles: Battle gigantic bosses that dwarf your massive mechanized warriors!
  • Cooperative Multiplayer: Goliath supports four-player co-op. Each player’s world has unique quests and rewards, and any loot you earn in co-op can be used in single-player mode.
  • Play Your Way: Choose one of several factions in a massive war that’s sweeping the land and determine who will come out on top. Players can build a fortified base to take on everyone or take on the role of a roaming nomad.

Goliath will be available as digital download through Steam for $19.99.
