Set in a ravaged urban battlefield filled with marvels of science and magic, and grounded in the technology of the early 1900s, players take the role of towering Giants in the final battle of a century-long conflict.

As a War MOBA, March Of Giants deals directly with military themes, allowing players to command thousands of soldiers in battle within the strategic framework of competitive MOBA gameplay.

The 4v4 tactical multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) sees players fighting through lanes, commanding battalions of comparatively pint-sized enemies, and deploying Battleworks – such as trenches, tanks, turrets, and bunkers – to eliminate the enemy team.

The gameplay combines elements of real-time strategy and lane-based combat with large-scale coordination and mastery of the giant heroes that make up its roster.

Ubisoft announced that it has acquired March of Giants, formerly developed by Amazon’s Montreal Games studio. The team will join Ubisoft to continue development of the free-to-play title, and is currently working on the next major update.

The team behind the game consists of a group of veteran developers, led by two former Ubisoft team members with ties to some of the company’s biggest franchises. Alex Parizeau, Senior Production lead, is the former Managing Director of Ubisoft Toronto, having overseen several major AAA productions. Xavier Marquis, Creative Director, was the original Creative Director behind Rainbow Six Siege. Both bring their wealth of experience, passion, and expertise to the development of this new title.

“Returning to Ubisoft brings things full circle,” said Xavier Marquis, Creative Director. “We built some of our most meaningful work here, and we’re excited to continue developing March of Giants from within Ubisoft. This game has enormous potential, and I know Ubisoft can help us take it to the next level.”

Alexandre Parizeau added, “My thanks go to Amazon for their commitment during the first chapters of March Of Giants. Our closed alpha was an important milestone and showed a glimpse of the game’s real promise. Now, by joining Ubisoft, we’re uniting behind a shared vision to build March Of Giants into one of the next great, enduring MOBAs.”

"We're proud of what our team in Montreal has built with March Of Giants," said Steve Boom, VP of Audio, Twitch and Games at Amazon. "We're confident that under Ubisoft’s leadership, the talented developers in Montreal will continue to thrive and create amazing game experiences.”

“March Of Giants has a real opportunity to bring something fresh and dynamic to players, and to help Ubisoft compete in one of gaming’s biggest arenas,” said Yves Guillemot, Co-Founder and CEO, Ubisoft. “We’re looking forward to welcoming back Alexandre, Xavier, and many of the seasoned March Of Giants team who have previously worked at Ubisoft, and the entire team’s ambition, creativity and talent align perfectly with our desire to build bold new experiences for players. We look forward to supporting them as they shape the future of this promising new IP.”

Ubisoft sees March Of Giants as an innovative and differentiated project with the potential to offer something new to current MOBA fans, attract new audiences, and grow into a successful live competitive game. 98% of closed alpha participants surveyed said March Of Giants brings something new to the genre.

As part of the agreement, Amazon also will provide Ubisoft with marketing support for March Of Giants on Twitch.
