Kotaku: Gigantic is a team-based action game coming from James Phinney, the lead designer on StarCraft, in which tiny combatants fight alongside huge monsters. It's supposed to arrive on both Xbox One and PC sometime later this year, and you can sign up to test it out if you want.
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.

This game looks awesome!!!X1 has actually impressed me with quite a few indies that I REALLY want to play.
On the top of those lists are Ori, Blues and Bullets (although the name is dumb), Smite, Neverwinter, Zheros, Elite, Wasteland 2,Beyond Eyes, Cuphead, Earthlock, Flame the Flood, Submerged, Shadow Blade.....SOOOOOO MANY GAMES TO PLAY. Before this week there were only 4 of those games that I thought would make it onto my X1....and I know I'm forgetting some. This year is just flat out packed!!!...looks like next year will already be packed as well (even if it just means catching up on games from this year...plus we "know" NMS will be on X1 next year as well).
If you haven't seen Gigantic... You need to check it out.
Think MOBA with no lanes, no waves of creeps, no items to worry about.
Towers are replaced with areas where you capture and spawn a creature that either acts as a Support or a Damage support in that area while gaining power for your Guardian.
You can steal Power from the guardian and bring it back to yours.
And the game ends when one guardian is dead. The Guardians will fight each other.
