'Gigantic' (ALL) Open Beta To Get Eternal Dawn Expansion This Month

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.


Gigantic's second major update, Eternal Dawn, will release starting on February 23 on Xbox One and Windows 10.

Continuing the game’s aggressive content and gameplay improvement strategy, Eternal Dawn will release weekly updates as follows:

February 23

  • New Hero: Zandora: A lance-wielding Eternal who has emerged from the Star City to walk among mortals, Zandora is a melee/support hybrid who uses auras to empower herself and allies on the battlefield.  Zandora is already the second Hero released since the game’s Dec 8 Game Preview program live date, increasing the total cast to 18.  With the goal of a new Hero every 6 weeks, the team is excited to massively grow the Hero pool, expanding the highly strategic play.  Owners of Gigantic’s Founders Pack will automatically unlock Zandora for free.
  • Competitive Leaderboard: Check out where you stand amongst the greatest players of Gigantic and move up the ranks. The website leaderboard contains detailed info to assess your overall skill and give you breakdowns of the Heroes you play, and how you play them.  
  • Zandora Aurion Skin: Seeking help from the Eternals, House Aurion strikes back against her foes. Don the colors of House Aurion on the Eternal Knight Zandora, including two color variants
  • 18 “Eternal Light” Weapon Skins: These new progression rewards for all 18 heroes encourage players to master each hero to earn or purchase a new weapon skin at level 10.

March 2

  • New Creature: Storm Drake: A powerful addition to the drake family, the Storm Drake wreaks havoc on whole teams with chain lightning attacks that bounce from foe to foe.

March 9

  • Beckett Aurion Skin: Sport your support for House Aurion with a new skin on the adventuring shooter Beckett, including two color variants.

March 16

  • Vadasi Aurion Skin: Adorn the colors of House Aurion on the pilgrim and judge Vadasi, including two color variants.

March 23

  • Voden Aurion Skin: Inhabit the spirit of House Aurion on the trickster archer Voden, including two color variants.

More details on the Eternal Dawn update, including several gameplay improvements will be revealed in the coming weeks. 

The free-to-play high-action MOBA is currently in Open Beta Test as part of the Xbox Game Preview program and will be available on Arc (PC Windows) 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.
