Gigantic: Rampage Edition revives and expands the shuttered MOBA hero shooter
20.02.2024 - 23:41 / rockpapershotgun.com
Gigantic, the free-to-play team brawler from a former StarCraft and Guild Wars designer, which launched (fully) in 2017 and closed the following year, is returning as Gigantic: Rampage Edition. It's no longer free-to-play, but a "premium and definitive release" of the original, and it's due on April 9th.
Rampage Edition isn't just a straight re-release, but an expanded version with new features. It'll have two new heroes alongside the original roster of 23, two new maps, and a new game mode, Rush. According to the Steam page, Rush mode is designed to be "more accessible, fast-paced an action-packed" than the regular mode, Clash, which also returns. There'll also be custom matches, and there are plans for a Ranked mode to be added post-release.
Gigantic no longer being free-to-play means it will cost $20 at launch, and those post-launch updates will be free.
A playtest will start on February 22nd which players can sign up for on the Gigantic: Rampage Edition Steam page.
"Team brawler" is such an awkward, unhelpful phrase, but "MOBA" isn't much better. Gigantic was a team-based, 5v5, third-person hero shooter in which each team consists of upgradeable characters and is battling to control objectives around the map and ultimately take down the enemy Guardian. Instead of hacking down a big tree as in Dota, the Guardians are gigantic - geddit - creatures that punch back.
Rampage Edition is being published by Gearbox and developed by Abstraction, best known for providing co-development support to other studios. Original developers Motiga closed down not long after the game. If you're wondering how Gigantic ended up in Gearbox's hands: the original game was published by Perfect World, Perfect World were acquired by Embracer in 2021, and Embracer also own Gearbox.
Motiga was led by James Phinney, a former lead designer on StarCraft and Guild Wars. Pip interviewed Phinney about Gigantic back in 2014.

EA puts a bunch of classic games and also The Saboteur on Steam for the first time
If you wanted to buy any of the games in the Command & Conquer Ultimate Collection, Dungeon Keeper, or Sim City 3000 - but didn't want to do it on GOG where they were already on sale - then rejoice! EA has made these classics and more, and for some reason The Saboteur, available on Steam for the first time. You can see the full list of games here. I don't have anything specific against The Saboteur, but I do think it's very funny that the list goes, like, "beloved game from the 90s, beloved game from the 90s, 7/10 action game from 2009, beloved game from the 90s". Also, I can take the opportunity to make fun of Graham and James, the tallest wrongest boys at RPS, who apparently both liked it.

Dragon's Dogma 2 expands the original game's absolutely daft NPC affinity system
One of the sillier aspects of the original Dragon's Dogma was accidentally falling head over heels for some rando innkeeper, and having them appear aside you as your sweetheart during the end credits, much to the surprise of many players who didn't realise they were hitting on every NPC they did a favour for.
