6 years after it closed for good, a free-to-play hero shooter is making a comeback as a paid game with 'zero microtransactions'

The MOBA-hero shooter Gigantic made a good impression when we first checked it out in 2014, but it didn't catch fire with fans, and in 2018 it closed its doors for good. But following a surprise "limited time throwback event" in October 2023, Gearbox has now announced that it's coming back for real as Gigantic: Rampage Edition, with a closed beta set to kick off in just a couple days.

Gigantic: Rampage Edition will feature all the content of the original game along with two new heroes, two new maps, and a "more accessible, fast-paced, and action-packed" game mode called Rush. A ranked mode will be added after the game's launch in April, and more hero skins will be added in subsequent free updates.
