If you're new to Gigantic, the fun-filled world of this MOBA Hero Shooter is teeming with expansive and intricate battlefields with creatures, such as massive Guardians, for players to jump into thrilling team-based battles. The two new maps, Picaro Bay and Heaven’s Ward, will expand the world of Gigantic and introduce unique battlegrounds that both players who played the original release of Gigantic, along with new players, have never experienced before!
Below are more details on what you can expect when you jump into these two maps on April 9:
Picaro Bay: a breezy seaside map with verticality, narrow alleyways, and a pirate ship for waging fast paced clashes. Known for being “the only place where most certainly every resident has a bounty on their head”, Picaro Bay is on an unassuming little island on the south edge of nowhere. Players will discover this pirate-themed map has three distinct areas: the two opposing camps on both sides of the map that filled with colorful banners, markings, buildings and more, the main battlefield sitting right in the center of town, and of course the war-torn pirate ship where dead heroes will tell no tales. With a slew of flank routes for melee heroes to rush in and do some damage, along with multiple buildings for ranged heroes to get a high-ground advantage over high-traffic areas, players will need to watch their backs at all times.
Heaven’s Ward: a heavily industrialized district that showcases an old power plant, warehouses, and factories with many nooks and crannies for players to have a blast in. Heaven’s Ward is a small district of a much larger floating city, the capital city of house Tesserus called Sky City, so players will need to watch their step and mind the gaps as they traverse across this vibrant, futuristic map. Featuring abandoned factories and massive powerplant to wage battles in, players can utilize jump pads to strategically get away or closer to the action in a blink of an eye.
Gigantic: Rampage Edition is a premium and definitive release of the original 5v5 MOBA Hero Shooter, Gigantic, that provides a dynamic and exciting team-based multiplayer experience for fans of both genres. Choose from a diverse roster of unique heroes, each with a set of upgradeable abilities, and team up with four other players to control objectives and take down the opposing team’s mighty Guardian, all while protecting your own. Gigantic: Rampage Edition includes a new game mode, cross platform play, new heroes, new maps, and gameplay improvements that give fans a bigger and more complete Gigantic experience than ever before, while welcoming new players to the action and fun- filled world of a Hero Shooter. Developed by Abstraction Games and published by Gearbox Publishing, Gigantic: Rampage Edition will launch on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on April 9, 2024 for £16.99 / 19,99€.
