The writing was on the wall.
Free to Play hero MOBA Gigantic is going to shut down on July 31, 2018. The game’s publisher, Perfect World, said the game had a wonderful and supportive community. But, said community simply wasn’t large enough to keep the game afloat.
Discontinuing Gigantic was not an easy decision. The game is a unique and exciting experience that captured many hearts and minds. Unfortunately, it did not resonate with as many players as we’d hoped. Over the last several months, the teams at Motiga and Perfect World looked into viable options to sustain Gigantic. However, the current state of the game has restricted options for further progress and relevant content updates, and delivering basic features while also fixing long-standing issues was more complicated than expected. Despite our best efforts, we were unable to find an impactful solution that would help Gigantic break through in a crowded market.
It’s a shame to see Gigantic go; it tried some different things to shake up the genre. That said, the obvious wound from which there would be no recovery was back when the developer, Motiga was, by and large, shut down. As of right now, the game is set to free play until the end of its run; all transactions are removed, and all the heroes are free, including the most recent character, T-Mat. So, now might be the perfect time to give the game its last hurrah, if you’re willing.
