March of Giants Brings RTS Roots Back to the MOBA Genre

March of Giants is an upcoming title from the March of Giants Team that aims to change how we think about MOBAs. Created by a group including developers who previously worked on Rainbow Six Siege, the game trades traditional high fantasy for a gritty World War 1 inspired setting. Instead of just controlling a single hero, players take charge of towering giants who can command squads of soldiers across the battlefield.

The game stands out by blending modern hero based combat with the tactical feel of older real time strategy titles. Each giant can lead a specific number of soldiers to capture points, set up defenses, or launch attacks on enemy structures. This extra layer of control makes every match feel like a grand skirmish where you are truly leading an army rather than just fighting alone.

Matches are set for a 4v4 format on compact maps that encourage team synergy. The developers are also prioritizing a positive player experience by bringing in experts to build strong anti toxicity tools from day one. They are focused on stopping griefing and smurfing before the game fully takes off.

If you want to see how these giants fare on the field, the first playtest kicks off on October 8. It will be available on PC as a free to play title when it launches, offering 16 unique giants to master at the start.
