Final Weekend

The Pioneer Playtest is wrapping up soon, and we hope you’ve already had a chance to experience March of Giants and share your feedback with us. The March of Giants team strived to incorporate feedback from the first Closed Alpha and make the game playable again as soon as possible after we changed publishers. We were humbled to see so many players returning to the game, and many more who picked up March of Giants for the first time. 

Our team are incredibly proud to share this experience with you, and we hope through the Playtest you’ve seen a glimpse into the drive, passion, and craft that has gone into creating March of Giants. 

Hear more from the team and make sure you watch to the end for a look into the early origins of the March of Giants world:  

This playtest also saw the start of the first community-organized tournament; the Pioneer Community Cup. We'd like to extend a huge thanks to Khaldor for hosting and organising the cup, Scok co-hosting for the French community, and all 8 teams for making this tournament come to life! 

In celebration of the Pioneer Community Cup, we’ve increased the Pioneer Points earned from completed PvP matches by 50%, and doubled the Pioneer Point Boost from 20% to 40% for the remainder of the Pioneer Playtest, giving you an even greater chance to claim the Pioneer rewards going into the final weekend of the Playtest. 

Increased Pioneer Point Rewards: 

  • Win: 150 points (up from 100) 

  • Loss: 75 points (up from 50) 

With a 40% Pioneer Point Boost: 

  • Win: 210 points 

  • Loss: 105 points 

Becoming a Pioneer unlocks Pioneer Rewards: 

  • Pandemos: Permanently unlock our newest Giant for this playtest, all future playtests, and when March of Giants enters Early Access. 

  • Pioneer Medal: Be recognized as a Pioneer beside your name in every match. 

  • Early Access Pack: Receive a free Early Access Pack, including exclusive profile customizations, when March of Giants enters Early Access. Early Access date to be announced. 

As a participant in the Pioneer Playtest, your feedback is invaluable in shaping the future of our world. We hope to see you again soon in our next playtest in early 2027.  

Until then, keep in touch with us and the March of Giants community:

Thank you for joining us.
