Team-based matches push this toward group play, though solo queueing is supported
Structured, objective-based matches are the stronger catalog signal
Real-time hero-brawler combat is recorded
Not a persistent MMO
- A genuinely rare full comeback story: after shutting down in 2018, this third-person MOBA/hero-shooter hybrid was fully revived in April 2024 as 'Gigantic: Rampage Edition' by Gearbox Publishing and Abstraction Games.
- The revival brought back the original's full 23-hero roster plus new heroes, added crossplay across PC, Xbox and PlayStation, and switched to a one-time purchase with zero microtransactions.
- Combines fast third-person shooting with MOBA-style objectives and massive summonable 'Guardians' that each team must defend and attack, a genuinely distinctive genre mashup that built a loyal cult following.
Things to consider
- The original free-to-play version struggled with low player retention and poor tutorialization at launch, contributing to its shutdown less than a year after release — worth keeping in mind, though the 2024 revival addressed many of those onboarding issues.
- Unlike the original live-service game, the Rampage Edition is a paid, more self-contained release rather than an ongoing free-to-play service, so expect a different long-term content cadence.
- Because the Rampage Edition's continued content cadence depends on a smaller indie-scale team rather than a major publisher's live-service budget, expect a slower and more modest post-launch update schedule than the original's had.
