March of Giants is an upcoming 4v4 MOBA title designed to differentiate itself from competitors like League of Legends and Dota 2 by incorporating battlefield-style mechanics. Players control mythical giants that serve as both champions and commanders, managing the movement of soldiers, supplies, and the construction of defensive bastions across three lanes.

Following initial gameplay previews, Ubisoft launched the ‘Pioneer Playtest’ on Steam, scheduled to run from October 7 to October 18, 2026. This playtest, available to players in North America and select European countries, features a setting that blends fantasy elements with World War I technology. Ubisoft is utilizing this period to test server capacity and collect community feedback, notably allowing players to stream and share gameplay without a non-disclosure agreement.
