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
