What is March of Giants? How its 4v4 MOBA works and what comes next
How March of Giants combines Giants, Soldiers and Battleworks in a 4v4 War MOBA, with Army Camps, Augments and a planned Early Access window.
March of Giants is our first game in focus: Ubisoft's in-development free-to-play 4v4 War MOBA, currently covered through its limited Pioneer Playtest and published roadmap.
Who the test is for
The publisher schedules the test for October 7–18, 2026 on PC through Steam, in North America and supported European countries. The announced languages are English, French, German and Spanish; Chinese is not listed for this test. A Steam request does not guarantee access, and a Ubisoft Connect account is required. The playtest report explains application steps, points and carryover.
What makes the game different
Each player controls a Giant, directs Soldier squads and spends Supplies to deploy Battleworks. Teams seek to destroy two of the opponent's three Bastions. Army Camps and Augments add resource and ability decisions. Our mechanics explainer breaks down the systems without pretending to be a hands-on balance review.
What comes next
Pandemos is announced for October 12 at 10 AM EDT, for qualifying Pioneer participants. The official test notice has the conditions. The official roadmap plans further tests in late winter and spring 2027 and Early Access in summer 2027; a final release date is not announced here.
