'Gigantic' (ALL) Open Beta Gets Exile in the North Content Update

Gigantic is a MOBA hero shooter where heroes battle alongside a massive guardian in a fight for supremacy.

Gigantic is a free-to-play shooter MOBA where heroes battle alongside a massive guardian in a fight for supremacy. Gigantic tests teamwork, tactics, and timing as players confront a five-story foe and conquer a fantasy battlefield.

Whether players favor shooters, action RPGs, or traditional MOBAs, Gigantic has heroes for various play styles — and strategic depth they'll find satisfying. The third-person perspective emphasizes movement and action. Players leap, dodge, and sprint across the battlefield, then unleash a devastating combo ... before scurrying to cover as the enemy guardian draws near.

Even though it's gorgeously rendered, light-hearted and charming, Gigantic is for enthusiast gamers and pits teams of five heroes and their massive Guardians against each other in epic battles across a variety of maps. The game combines explosive combat with fast-paced teamwork, strategy, and skill, as players are required to work together and fight relentlessly to defeat opposing Guardians with spells, guns and swords.


The new Exile in the North update features:

New Hero: Pakko

  • A huggable, playful giant who has no problem keeping cool in the heat of battle. The happy-go-lucky Pakko slides into action, pummeling foes with powerful paws while maneuvering around opponents with surprising agility.
New Winter Themed Skins:
  • Pakko - “I’m Tido!”
  • Wu - “Mercy Gi”
  • Wu - “Shadow’s Chill”
  • Tripp - “Citadel of Frost”
  • Tripp - “Shock Therapy”
New Winter Themed Weapon Skins
  • Wu - “Mark of Corruption”
  • Tripp - “Icicle Shards”
Exile in the North also features several gameplay and quality of life improvements, including more generous end-of-match Crown Boosts and the addition of Honor Bonuses for players who battle shorthanded to the bitter end despite teammate disconnections and drops.  Hero Mastery Skins are also now available to unlock as you play and master each Hero. 

Gigantic is currently in Open Beta Test as part of the Xbox Game Preview program and will be available on Arc (PC) at a later date following successful testing.

Key Features:

  • Meet Your Guardian: A five-story mythical monster, each guardian gathers a team of five heroes, fights at their side, and resurrects them when they fall in battle. Combine a hero's skill with the power of a naga, griffin, or another guardian to dominate the battle.
  • Choose Your Hero: Choose from elusive snipers, powerful spellcasters, and heavy-metal juggernauts. No matter what kind of game you've played before, you'll find something familiar—and something new. As heroes fight, they level up and improve their skills. Players choose how to upgrade, improving their healing skill, developing a new area attack, or immobilizing their enemies.
  • Control Your Battleground: Survival requires teamwork: player powers interlock and supplement each other, providing tactical flexibility. Summon unique creatures with special powers to seize key points and assist your team. Snipe from overlooks, sneak through tunnels, and guard chokepoints.
  • Unleash Your Guardian: Capture points to empower your guardian, sending it on devastating rampages. Rampages destroy the terrain and reshape the battlefield, providing new tactical opportunities and vulnerabilities. Guardians also strike down other guardians, leading the path to victory.
