Ubisoft Opens Overseas Playtest for 4v4 MOBA-Style March of Giants
By giving each giant a commandable army and a Battleworks building system, Ubisoft is testing a MOBA framework built around army leadership and positional construction rather than lane-only play.
Reporting from 1 source: Denfaminicogamer.
Ubisoft began a playtest for March of Giants on October 7, running on Steam through October 18 for North America and parts of Europe. The free-to-play game is a 4vs4 MOBA-style title where players lead army units called soldiers and place bunkers and trenches. Early access is scheduled for summer 2027.
The playtest opened October 7 and runs to October 18 on Steam, limited to North America and some European countries. Japan is not in the target region and cannot participate.
Players control giants leading soldiers that emerge from behind the home fortress every 30 seconds and advance down three lanes. Each giant has a cap on how many soldiers it can lead, raised through upgrades, and the gathered troops can be ordered to scout, gather resources, defeat enemy giants, or capture objectives.
A system called Battleworks lets players place anti-giant bunkers and trenches lined with riflemen. Built after a lane is pushed, those spots become a new front line. Matches run roughly 14 to 30 minutes, with most finishing inside 20. The game's Steam page is live, and early access is planned for summer 2027.
