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.

The March of Giants Pioneer Playtest begins October 7 and runs through October 18, 2026. Whether you played in our first Closed Alpha or you’re joining us for the first time, here's how to get signed up for the playtest.

The Pioneer Playtest Begins October 7

The Pioneer Playtest opens on October 7 at 10 AM EDT through Steam. This playtest is open to players in North America and supported European countries, with servers available for both regions.

We've added localization for English, French, German, and Spanish, with additional languages and server support planned for future playtests.

Watch the October 7 Premiere

We’re kicking things off with a YouTube Premiere on October 7, giving you a closer look at March of Giants and what’s coming in the Pioneer Playtest. We'll be showing some gameplay, going over the basics of how to play the game, talking the Giants available in the playtest - including a new member of the roster, and giving you a peek at future of the game!

How to Join the Playtest

If you’re new to March of Giants:

1. Head to our March of Giants Steam page.
2. Click Request Access under March of Giants Playtest.
3. Steam will notify you when access has been granted.
4. Download March of Giants directly from your Steam Library.

We plan to keep invitations open throughout the Pioneer Playtest. We are using this playtest to help us finetune our server capacity, so there may be periods where we may need to pause invitations to give us time to scale up our server infrastructure or hold invitations entirely.

You’ll also need Ubisoft Connect and an Ubisoft Account to play. You can sign in or create an account when you launch the game.

Feel Free to Share Your Gameplay

This playtest will not have an NDA or watermark, so you can stream, record, and share any content from the game. We’re looking forward to seeing your matches, clips, streams, and hearing your feedback throughout the test. You might even spot the occasional dev in a match!

Played in the First Closed Alpha?

You're already invited! Everyone who played in the March of Giants Closed Alpha in September 2025 is automatically included in the Pioneer Playtest. You do not need to request access again, but it is important to note you will not receive a new Steam access notification at the start of the playtest. When the playtest opens on October 7 at 10 AM EDT, find March of Giants in your Steam Library, download it, and start playing. Returning players will also need to have an Ubisoft Connect account to play.

The Pioneer Program

We want to recognize and celebrate the most active players throughout the playtest, so we are introducing the Pioneer Program. During the Pioneer Playtest, completing PvP matches earns Pioneer Points. Reach 1,000 Pioneer Points to become a Pioneer and unlock rewards during the playtest and Early Access.

Pioneer Rewards

• Pandemos: Permanently unlock our newest Giant when he arrives on October 12 - for this and all future playtests, and when March of Giants enters Early Access.
• Pioneer Medal: Be recognized as a Pioneer beside your name in every match.
• Early Access Pack: Receive a free Early Access Pack, including exclusive profile customizations, when March of Giants enters Early Access. Early Access date to be announced.

Earn Pioneer Points

Pioneer Points are earned by completing PvP matches:

• Win: 100 Pioneer Points
• Loss: 50 Pioneer Points

Only completed PvP matches award Pioneer Points. Leaving a match before it ends will not award points. PvE and Custom Games do not contribute to Pioneer progress.

Progress Faster with a 20% Pioneer Point Boost

Players can unlock a 20% Pioneer Point boost in one of two ways:

• Watch participating March of Giants streamers on Twitch
• Join the official March of Giants Discord and claim a booster code

Both methods unlock the same 20% boost and do not stack.

With the boost active:

• Win: 120 Pioneer Points
• Loss: 60 Pioneer Points

Once unlocked, the boost remains active for the rest of the Pioneer Playtest.

Twitch

Watch participating March of Giants streamers on Twitch for 1 hour to unlock the 20% boost.

Players must link their Twitch account to their Ubisoft account through Ubisoft Connect and watch participating streams while logged in to Twitch. Need information on how to connect your Ubisoft Account to your Twitch Account? Head to this support page.

Discord

Players can also unlock the 20% boost by joining the official March of Giants Discord.

After joining, head to the #get-pioneer-booster-here channel for instructions on how to claim a booster code and redeem it for the remainder of the Pioneer Playtest.

You only need one code! The Twitch Drop and Discord codes provide the same benefit, so redeeming both won’t give you an additional boost.

Our Vision for March of Giants

Our studio was founded six years ago and built from the ground up to make March of Giants, our take on the MOBA genre.

From the very beginning, we knew we wanted to make a MOBA. We enjoy the unique design challenges, deeply engaged communities, and competitive spirit that define the genre. We also have tremendous respect for the systems that make them so rewarding to play: mastering a character, understanding the map and game flow, and coordinating with your team. Simply put, our goal is to make a game that delivers on the full MOBA experience.

A World In An Endless War

We looked toward the First World War and the industrial era surrounding it for inspiration, particularly its trenches, artillery, enormous armies, fortified positions, and shifting frontlines.

Those ideas fit naturally with the structure we envision for MOBAs. Lanes become fronts to advance and defend. Soldiers become armies moving across them. Objectives represent territory worth fighting over.

But we did not want March of Giants to be purely grounded in a historical setting. That industrial-war foundation is combined with a darker fairy-tale world that lets us move well beyond reality. Our Giants can draw from technology, folklore, experimentation, military history, monsters, and other ideas that fit within the world we've created.

Giants are powerful combatants on their own, but they're also commanders within a much larger battle. Their influence extends beyond their own abilities through the Soldiers that fight alongside them and the Battleworks they deploy across the battlefield.

Building on the Original Vision

When we introduced March of Giants during our Closed Alpha in September 2025, it was our first opportunity to see how a large group of players experienced our game. We gathered as much feedback as we could, played countless matches with the community, and immediately began working to improve the game.

To everyone who played in the Closed Alpha, your feedback was invaluable in shaping the future of March of Giants and making the game what it is today. We cannot thank you enough.

The foundations of March of Giants will still be familiar to those who have played, but many of the systems around them have evolved. We've expanded the role Soldiers can play during a match, added more interaction and counterplay around Battleworks, and made the spaces between lanes much more important to progression and map control. Itemization has also been expanded to support more specialized builds and different ways to play each Giant.

We've added new Giants, continued updating the returning roster, and made broader improvements across the map, UI, visuals, animations, game clarity, and many other parts of the game.

Welcome, and Welcome Back

During the transition to Ubisoft, much of our attention needed to remain focused inside the studio. Now we're ready to open the game again and bring players back into the development process with the Pioneer Playtest.

We'll be hosting a YouTube Premiere on October 7, where members of the development team will give you a closer look at March of Giants and kick off the Pioneer Playtest.

We're also reopening discussion in the official March of Giants Discord so players can reconnect, talk about the game, and share feedback throughout the playtest.

During Closed Alpha, we said that PvP games are a conversation. Internal testing can tell us a lot, but it cannot replace seeing how players use these systems, what strategies emerge, and where we still need to improve.

The Pioneer Playtest is our next chance to learn from you, and we're ready to see what you do with the game.

Whether you were with us during Closed Alpha or are discovering March of Giants for the first time, thank you for joining us.

We'll see you on the front.
