Command colossal power, lead loyal troops, and reshape the battlefield itself. Ubisoft has launched the Pioneer Playtest for March of Giants — their bold new 4v4 tactical MOBA — live right now and completely free on Steam. Step into the boots of a towering Giant, rally your army, and fight to crush the enemy strongholds before they level yours.

What Is March of Giants?

March of Giants isn’t your standard MOBA — it’s warfare on a massive scale. You don’t just control a powerful champion; you lead a Giant — an avatar of Dreams or Nightmares forged in the fires of a century-long conflict — alongside battalions of soldiers that follow your orders, capture points, and reinforce your advance.

Set against a gritty early-20th-century backdrop blending industrial technology and arcane wonder, matches are 4-vs-4 tactical clashes where coordination, positioning, and smart deployment decide victory.

The Objective

• Three Bastions anchor each team’s front line
• Destroy two of the enemy’s three to win
• Defend your own from the same fate
• Push lanes, secure resources, and outmanoeuvre your foes

Choose Your Giant — Dream or Nightmare?

Each Giant brings unique powers, playstyles, and commanding strengths to the field:

Table

Giant	Type	Style
Victoria	Melee — Dream	Spear-wielding warrior whose immolation burns through foes; leads from the front
Wolfgang	Melee — Nightmare	Unleashes inner rage and packs of terrifying werewolves to harry and tear apart lines
Voidmaster	Ranged — Nightmare	Spreads corruption via dark rituals; weakens foes over wide areas
Strykka	Melee — Nightmare	Strikes with shocking speed and retribution; punishes those who dare oppose her
Kragg	Melee — Nightmare	Brute force incarnate; earth-shaking charges break formations and clear paths
Pandemos (coming Oct 12)	—	New Giant joining mid-playtest — unlock permanently via Pioneer Status

Troops, Trenches & Tactics — More Than Just Hero Combat

Where most MOBAs give you passive minions, March of Giants puts command in your hands:

• Lead your soldiers — rally, redirect, and send them to scout, attack, or capture objectives
• Deploy Battleworks — spend gathered Supplies to shape the fight: trenches, bunkers, tanks, cavalry drops, and more
• Gather & upgrade — capture nodes, stockpile resources, and tailor your Giant’s build to shift momentum
• Team synergy — combine Giant abilities with troop positioning and Battleworks for devastating coordinated strikes
