It was announced by Motiga, that the Corruption update for Gigantic is now live! This is Gigantic’s first major release since launch and it features the new Hero and mischief-maker, ORU! This mid-range caster introduces an entirely new set of tools to the battlefield.
Check out the character overview trailer of Gigantic, featuring the new character and some gameplay footage:
“Today’s update also includes a host of new systems and polish, including Custom Lobbies and the ability to set a Push-to-Talk key for the in-game voice chat. Read up on the details below:
New Hero: Oru
Oru, also known as ‘The Fortune Teller,’ is a mid-range damage dealer who excels in teamfights. His kit revolves around combining his skills to deal high damage and provide utility to the team in the form of crowd control.
Additionally, Oru releases with his first set of skins, which are now available in the shop. Players can pick up the Mordant, Voracious, and Garrulous skins today!
Custom Lobbies
Introducing the beta version of Custom Lobbies! This feature allows teams to arrange 5v5 matches without requiring them to enter the general matchmaking pool. As a beta feature, our goal is to implement the system in a way that allows us to quickly introduce it for use by the community.
Other Updates
The new Corruption update allows players to make use of several new features and refinements in Gigantic. This includes the highly anticipated Push-to-Talkfeature for voice chat, which can be toggled in the settings menu. We’re also re-introducing a mechanic called Creature Gestation which promotes greater strategy at higher levels of play by giving players a window to attack and counter enemy creatures while they are still vulnerable.
Gigantic is headed to GenCon! From August 17 – 20, the dev team will be showing off the game at the world’s longest running gaming convention in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Gigantic is a free-to-play strategic hero shooter developed by Motiga. Gorgeously rendered, light-hearted, and charming, Gigantic pits teams of five Heroes and their massive Guardians against each other in epic battles across a variety of maps. The game combines explosive combat with fast-paced strategy and skill to create a setting where players must work together and fight relentlessly to defeat the opposing Guardian with spells, guns and swords.”
