Perfect World Entertainment and Motiga will launch an open beta of its free-to-play multiplayer online battle action game Gigantic for Xbox One via the Xbox Game Preview program and for Windows 10 PCs in North America and Europe on December 8, Perfect World announced. It will offer cross-platform play between platforms. A Windows XP, Windows 7, and Windows 8 release is planned for a later date.
A closed beta test will run between December 1 at 9:00 a.m. PT and December 4 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
Here’s an overview of the game, via Perfect World:
Gigantic is a free-to-play competitive action MOBA developed by Motiga. Even though it’s gorgeously rendered, light-hearted and charming, Gigantic is for enthusiast gamers and pits teams of five hardcore heroes and their massive Guardians against each other in epic battles across a variety of maps. The game combines explosive combat with fast-paced teamwork, strategy, and skill, as players are required to work together and fight relentlessly to defeat opposing Guardians with spells, guns and swords.
As part of the Xbox Game Preview program, the free Open Beta features a weekly rotation of six heroes from a roster of 16 and three maps: Siren’s Stand, Ghost Reef and Sanctum Falls. Each hero features a unique playstyle that can be further customized via skill trees during each match. Teams work together to attack enemies while claiming points on the map to summon powerful Creatures. Players can power up their team’s Guardian by controlling the battlefield and defeating enemies. Victory is awarded to the team that overpowers their opponents’ Guardian.
