The Gigantic closed beta weekend will be part of several streams and events being held by Motiga for the hybrid action MOBA.
Shortly after a major lay off at Motiga, Perfect World and Motiga announce Gigantic is shutting down later this year.
Well that sucks. The game was rescued from cancellation by Perfect World only to get shut down shortly afterwards.
Overwatch completely demolished these new MOBAS. Gigantic was a good quality game, just bad timing.
It did. It sucks. I really think that a lot of these games are hurting from Overwatch.
Perfect World confirms the date and details of the Gigantic shutdown, granting players their final few months of free play in the unique MOBA.
1RBC: Publisher Perfect World has shut down both Runic Games and Motiga. Runic was the studio behind RPG series Torchlight as well as the newly released Hob– after nine years in the business, they’ve finally met their end. Motiga, on the other hand, was a much newer studio- they released their debut game, Gigantic, over the summer. Unfortunately, it seems that neither developer was quite profitable enough for international megacorp Perfect World- hence their decision to shut these studios. The rest of our episode this week is business as usual- new Playstation games from the Paris Games Week and Razer’s gaming phone- all embedded below for your viewing pleasure.
I was under the impression the game was canceled.
