Set in a ravaged urban battlefield filled with marvels of science and magic, and grounded in the technology of the early 1900s, players take the role of towering Giants in the final battle of a century-long conflict.

As a War MOBA, March Of Giants deals directly with military themes, allowing players to command thousands of soldiers in battle within the strategic framework of competitive MOBA gameplay.

The 4v4 tactical multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) sees players fighting through lanes, commanding battalions of comparatively pint-sized enemies, and deploying Battleworks – such as trenches, tanks, turrets, and bunkers – to eliminate the enemy team.

The gameplay combines elements of real-time strategy and lane-based combat with large-scale coordination and mastery of the giant heroes that make up its roster.

March of Giants' Pioneer Playtest is now live on Steam through October 18, giving players free access to the upcoming 4v4 MOBA built around commanding massive Giants and rallying troops across a dynamic battlefield.

The playtest offers access to a roster of Dream and Nightmare-inspired Giants, squad-based Soldier mechanics, battlefield construction systems, and progression rewards that carry recognition into Early Access through the game's Pioneer Status program.

Schedule

The March of Giants Pioneer Playtest runs from October 7th at 10 AM EDT through October 18th, 2026.

October 12th at 10 AM EDT: Pandemos joins the Pioneer Playtest and becomes available to players who complete the Pioneer Program requirements.

We'll communicate any changes to server availability, maintenance, or the playtest schedule through our official channels.

What's Included

The Pioneer Playtest will be available on PC through Steam in supported North American and European countries. Supported Languages:

• English
• French
• German
• Spanish

The Pioneer Playtest also includes major changes across many of the systems that define March of Giants. Since Closed Alpha, we've focused heavily on match pacing, neutral objectives, itemization, battlefield clarity, and giving players more ways to control and build around Soldiers and Battleworks.

New Giants

Two new Giants join the roster during the Pioneer Playtest, bringing the roster count to 17. Elaris is a mobile ranged damage dealer who can specialize in basic attacks or build around her long-range abilities. Pandemos joins the playtest on October 12. Learn more about him when he is fully revealed later in the playtest!

Giant Access

All players begin the Pioneer Playtest with Victoria, Solace, Kragg, and Elaris unlocked, along with four additional randomly selected Giants. Additional Giants can be unlocked using Giant Tokens, which are rewarded for completing in-game challenges Pandemos is unlocked separately through the Pioneer Program when he becomes available on October 12.

More Control Over Soldiers

Soldiers are central to both fighting and taking objectives in March of Giants. They rally around your Giant and can follow you between lanes, through the spaces between objectives, or directly into combat.

For the Pioneer Playtest, we've added more ways to control and build around your Soldiers. You can redirect Soldier charges after sending them forward, while smaller groups can be detached to scout contested areas.

Soldiers can also collect Merits and Supplies, and players who invest heavily into Soldier-focused builds can increase their effectiveness throughout the match.

Expanded Battleworks

Battleworks let you spend Supplies to deploy structures and reinforcements directly onto the battlefield. They can support a push, reinforce a defensive position, or help counter an opponent's strategy. Returning Battleworks include:

• Soldier Drop, which delivers additional Soldiers directly to your position
• Ironclad, an armored tank that helps your team push against Outposts and Bastions
• Trench, which creates defensive positions against incoming Soldiers
• Giantslayer Bunker, which provides defensive firepower and area control

The Pioneer Playtest also introduces Cavalry, a new offensive Battlework designed to destroy enemy Battleworks, slow Giants caught in its charge, and help break heavily fortified positions.

Army Camps and Augments

The spaces between lanes now contain more objectives and opportunities to gain an advantage.

We've added Army Camps that provide Supplies, Merits, vision, and access to the shop without needing to Recall. Destroy an enemy Army Camp to deny those resources while also granting your team an Augment Point.

Augments modify your Giant's abilities during a match and can change properties such as range, area of effect, effect duration, or number of projectiles.

A.M.S. Abomination

A new late-game objective, the A.M.S. Abomination, enters the battlefield at the 12-minute mark and follows a visible path across the map.

Defeating it requires team coordination and rewards a unique Artillery Battlework capable of quickly damaging enemy structures, giving teams another way to convert an advantage and break through fortified Bastions.

Expanded Itemization

The item system has been significantly expanded for the Pioneer Playtest. Giants can build around Kinetic Power for physical and basic-attack-focused playstyles, Alchemic Power for ability-focused builds, or invest more heavily into Soldiers.

Recommended builds have also been expanded to provide clearer starting points for each Giant while leaving room for experimentation and unconventional builds.

Ubisoft Connect

March of Giants now uses Ubisoft Connect account services. When launching the game, you'll need to sign in with an existing Ubisoft Connect account or create one before you can play.

If you already have a Ubisoft Connect account, use your existing account when prompted.

Pioneer Program

We want to recognize and celebrate the most active players throughout the playtest, so we're introducing the Pioneer Program!

Completing PvP matches during the Pioneer Playtest earns Pioneer Points. Reach 1,000 Pioneer Points to become a Pioneer and unlock rewards during the playtest and when March of Giants enters Early Access.

Pioneer Rewards

Become a Pioneer to unlock:

• Pandemos: Permanently unlock our newest Giant when he arrives on October 12, for this and all future playtests and when March of Giants enters Early Access.
• Pioneer Medal: Be recognized as a Pioneer beside your name in every match.
• Early Access Pack: Receive a free Early Access Pack, including exclusive profile customizations, when March of Giants enters Early Access. Early Access date to be announced.

Earn Pioneer Points

Pioneer Points are earned by completing PvP matches:

• Win: 100 Pioneer Points
• Loss: 50 Pioneer Points

Only completed PvP matches award Pioneer Points. Leaving a match before it ends will not award points. PvE and Custom Games do not contribute to Pioneer progress.

Progress Faster with a 20% Pioneer Point Boost

You can unlock a 20% Pioneer Point boost in one of two ways:

• Watch participating March of Giants streamers on Twitch
• Join the official March of Giants Discord and claim a booster code

Both methods provide the same 20% boost and do not stack. With the boost active:

• Win: 120 Pioneer Points
• Loss: 60 Pioneer Points

Once unlocked, the boost remains active for the rest of the Pioneer Playtest.

Unlock the Boost on Twitch

Watch participating March of Giants streamers on Twitch for 1 hour to unlock the 20% boost.

You'll need to link your Twitch account to your Ubisoft account through Ubisoft Connect and watch participating streams while logged in to Twitch.

Linking your Twitch and Ubisoft accounts

Unlock the Boost on Discord

You can also unlock the 20% boost by joining the official March of Giants Discord.

Once you've joined, head to the #get-pioneer-booster-here channel for instructions on how to claim a booster code and redeem it for the remainder of the Pioneer Playtest.

You only need one boost. The Twitch Drop and Discord code provide the same benefit, so unlocking both will not increase your Pioneer Point boost beyond 20%.

Feedback

Playtests are an important opportunity for us to see how March of Giants performs with a larger group of players and understand where the game still needs improvement.

The best places to share gameplay feedback with the development team are:

• March of Giants Discord
• r/MarchOfGiants

We're particularly interested in your experience with:

• Match pacing: How matches progress and whether teams have enough opportunities to turn an advantage into a win
• Soldiers: How useful they feel, how easy they are to control, and the viability of Soldier-focused strategies
• Battleworks: Their impact on attacking, defending, and countering enemy strategies
• Neutral objectives: How Army Camps, Augments, and the A.M.S. Abomination influence rotations, team decisions, and control of the battlefield
• Itemization: Build variety, recommended builds, and the choices available when adapting during a match

We're also interested in anything else that stands out. If something feels confusing, frustrating, particularly satisfying, too strong, not useful enough, or simply different than you expected, tell us what happened and why.
