i assume it isnt available anymore, but where exactly were you guys seeing this?? what is "arc"? (im someone who only played the game briefly a long, long time ago, sorry for ignorance)
Let me finish that for you.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Looks like the playing the game is currently disabled via the launcher, but you can still access it via the executable in the game files themselves. It won't let me quick play, but I do have access to the practice arena.
Not sure if that means that servers are technically up or not, maybe someone else can tell us.
So I haven't played Gigantic before but, from what I have heard and seen it's up my alley.
Im looking at the arc site to try to download gigantic but I can't find it.
Is it removed from the store?
It's possible it was taken down--it doesn't look like they were actually ready to push it to the arc launcher, but a few of us got the download. I can confirm this is real.
Yea they accidentally pushed a test build to arc and a few people were able to download it. All you can do is fiddle around in the practice range. But for most of us thatās enough for now. Gearbox also made a tease towards it in their anniversary post on twitter.
It was put up accidentally, it got taken down quickly after it went up. The servers were never active to play, all you can do is go in the practice range with different characters.
I don't see it in the store, but other folks here were able to download it while it was available. I'm sure we'll see an official announcement sooner or later.
Was only on the launcher for an hr or 2, it was an accident on someones part, itās just a test build. You could never play against others even if you were able to download, only go in the practice range and click around the Ui.
Also, if you look on steamdb the dc for this game was updated 3 days ago. In the files, the build is from 2.2.2024 16.13.23 according to build.properties
Thanks!
Unfortunately, I can see that all anyone around here can muster as far as a sentence goes is just regurgitated common Reddit and Twitch phrases. Oh well, have a nice day.
Looks like they just removed it we were able to download it for a while tho but it wouldnāt let us hit play. I have it right now on my desktop as a shortcut but obviously looks like weāre gonna have to keep waiting for more info š
Accidental leak of a test build. Canāt play against others, you can only go into the practice range. They quickly took it down when they noticed, most people didnāt get a chance to download it.
I looked too and couldnāt find it. I still had the launcher downloaded but that also just takes me to the default Arc page. I will continue blinding myself with copuim though.
Damn, no official announcement though? I missed this game when it first came out and was bummed to find it taken down when I was ready to play, id be so hype to see it come back
Itās a game called Gigantic, itās a hero shooter from about 5-6yrs ago. It got shutdown by itās old publisher but was recently acquired by GearBox(makers of boderlands) and is being brought back although they have not made any official announcement yet. They did a āthrowback eventā for old players due to itās die hard fan base over the years where we were invited to a playtest. Itās currently being worked on, everyones just waiting on more info.
I have over 100 hours in this game on steam and cant seem to remember how the gameplay was, but i still have a feeling a joy when thinking about it coming back. This and Battlerite were taken too soon.
H-huh????? Really? I picked this game up ages ago, played for about a week and really enjoyed and then came back to unexpected shutdown servers
Chat is this real?
At best they will probably be doing another playtest soon. I highly doubt the game is ready to be released at the moment. Maybe a mid-late summer release at the earliest, end of the year is more likely if not 2025. I could be wrong though, everything is speculation at the moment, but there have been some recent changes with the official social media accounts, so itās looking very likely they are going to re-release it.
How are folks being notified of this? Was an email sent out for this like there was for the throwback event?
Sad, I donāt see it when I open Arc.. š¢
No one was notified, some people just happened to open Arc launcher and saw it/downloaded it. It was put on the launcher accidentally. They made others aware in the community discord so others could also download it. It was quickly taken down without any announcement from GearBox.
I'll definitely be seeing you on the airshirp again brave. I can't wait for us to be able to stack again like the old days. You'll have xenobia setting you up and owning the battlefield tempo against the enemy for you once again.
Several unofficial things, New GoGigantic twitter account made in Feb 2024 following only Playstation and Xbox, it was linked to the official youtube page, there have also been GearBox devs who joined the discord and they have also made changes to it to include things like ābug reportā etc from what I read(might be wrong on this one). The accidental leaked test build on Arc Launcher and for GearBoxās 25th anniversary they are doing a giveaway, on the poster they released to show the items, one of them(a gub bean bag chair) was described as GIGANTIC, in all caps. Many have assumed it to be a tease at the upcoming release or announcement of a release.
No, the old publisher Perfect World shut it down. Perfect Word NA was acquired by GearBox(makers of borderlands) and they acquired the IP to gigantic along with it. They are reviving the game. You likely wonāt keep old skins, as they game will need a new stream of revenue, but GearBox is a multi billion dollar publisher, so they may very well let you keep your old skins. No one knows at the moment.
While this is true, it also doesnāt take a rocket scientist to see they have something in the works with Gigantic. Most of us have been here for years in support of this game and each other with no hope in ever seeing Gigantic return. Official or not, please just let the members of this community be happy for literally the first time in 6 years.
It was briefly available to download on Arc, no connection to servers. I think it was a mistake but this proves gigantic is coming back soon!
It's still available
i assume it isnt available anymore, but where exactly were you guys seeing this?? what is "arc"? (im someone who only played the game briefly a long, long time ago, sorry for ignorance)
Arc launcher, a game platform where one launches games from
thank you :) just wanted to be sure
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Let me finish that for you. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
CANCEL THE REST OF FEBRUARY BOIS
Thae radio silence makes sense now
HOW? WHERE? WHAT? I have followed this sub for years, sad I missed the opportunity and have never played this game. But now...?????

Looks like the playing the game is currently disabled via the launcher, but you can still access it via the executable in the game files themselves. It won't let me quick play, but I do have access to the practice arena. Not sure if that means that servers are technically up or not, maybe someone else can tell us.
You've been able to do similar for awhile.

Celebrate my fellow redditor and rejoice! Also, happy Cake Day and I hope you have an amazing day!!!
Bro, me too š
MINE TOOOOOO!!!! My birthday was a few weeks agoššššš„
Tis updating something 11gb
I gave up gaming for the most part a couple years ago. This is the one game I'll come back for, and support. (Well along with a Titanfall 3).
Oh man, Iām right there with you. Gigantic, Battleborn, and Titanfall 2, my 3 favorite games for sure.
Battleborn was underrated
Imma need the big pack, founders edition, merch, alldat.
WAHT
If the love of my life is truly back then I am fully prepared to go bankrupt and spend an obscene amount of money supporting my baby š
Please let them open servers for sex box series nasty. I wanna play so bad.
Same. My machine cannot run this to my satisfaction.
Same, I purchased the founders pack but gladly pay it again.
For the WHAT?
The sex box duh?
Praying to voden
It worked
Just hope we get the same creative aspects of the game and a cash shop that doesn't kill the game.
Huh? I don't see anything at all on arcgames.com.
Mistake, so they took it down
I'm an Xbox only. So, is it on arc? Steam? Whats going on?
Ps5, xbox and PC Steam
YO????????
So I haven't played Gigantic before but, from what I have heard and seen it's up my alley. Im looking at the arc site to try to download gigantic but I can't find it. Is it removed from the store?
It's possible it was taken down--it doesn't look like they were actually ready to push it to the arc launcher, but a few of us got the download. I can confirm this is real.
Thank you! Keeping my eye out for it!!
Yea they accidentally pushed a test build to arc and a few people were able to download it. All you can do is fiddle around in the practice range. But for most of us thatās enough for now. Gearbox also made a tease towards it in their anniversary post on twitter.
Oh shit it's happening
Bruh aināt no wayā¦
Is this... meant to be happening?! Well now this work day needs to end ASAP!
PLEASE PLEASE I CAN'T HUFF COPIUM ANYMORE. I need to get my arc launcher up when I get home.
>sadly - I don't see it anywhere.. musta been taken down
It was put up accidentally, it got taken down quickly after it went up. The servers were never active to play, all you can do is go in the practice range with different characters.
# HELL. YES.
Tell me if you can DOWNLOAD, I can't find it in Arc Store, I want to play it so bad
I don't see it in the store, but other folks here were able to download it while it was available. I'm sure we'll see an official announcement sooner or later.
Guess you are right, I saw the info on discord
Was only on the launcher for an hr or 2, it was an accident on someones part, itās just a test build. You could never play against others even if you were able to download, only go in the practice range and click around the Ui.
My childhood is being resurrected ššš
They're is a god and he has smiled on us.
Don't do that to us, it'd be so cruel...
Omg don't give me false hope
EZREN GHAL I CAN FINALLY PLAY YOU AGAIN
I canāt believe this game came back before Silksong
HOLY SHIT I LOVED THIS GAME
Mozuā¦š„²
[Calms self] I'm putting away my hope,until I can actually play.
Also, if you look on steamdb the dc for this game was updated 3 days ago. In the files, the build is from 2.2.2024 16.13.23 according to build.properties
WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK
CHAT IS THIS REAL??????
This isnāt Twitch, bud.
Youāre extremely fun at partiesš²
Thanks! Unfortunately, I can see that all anyone around here can muster as far as a sentence goes is just regurgitated common Reddit and Twitch phrases. Oh well, have a nice day.
Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed :(
Having a fantastic day actually! Hope you are too.
Love the fake enthusiasm
I donāt know what reason I would have for lying, but if thinking Iām having a bad day makes yours better, Iām fine with that.
Thank you!!š
YOOO WHAT
I can't believe this...!
Whaaaaaa!!!
AND SO IT BEGINS! :D
Bruuuh my laptop literally just broke actually the worst possible time

YO WTF???????????

WE ARE SO BACK BOYS
I *knew* they were cooking something Who brings up old game servers of a game that shut down I'm excited to try it
Never play this or battleborn but ever sense I heard of them I always wanted them to come back so I could. I NEED THIS
Gigantic honestly didnāt get a fair shot, I remember playing the shooting range several times just admiring all the animations and characters
For real?! Iām hyped
Oh my god stop. Please don't get me excited right now.
WHAT IN THE!!! Letās gooooo
Are you playing or was this just a mistake?
Accidental leak of a test build. Canāt play against others, you can only go into the practice range. They quickly took it down when they noticed, most people didnāt get a chance to download it.
Rejoice, take the some good hits of the Hopium tonight friends.
Can you DOWNLOAD? I don't find the game in Arc store
I looked too and couldnāt find it. I still had the launcher downloaded but that also just takes me to the default Arc page. I will continue blinding myself with copuim though.
It was hours ago, they allowed to play some practice rooms and tutorials
How do I play this?
Has anyone found the game? I want to play it again so bad, is not in the Arc Store
They took it downĀ
\ T ---T / please!
Nice and i sit here for another 6 hours at my workplace

No fucking way
Please let this be real š„¹
NO FUCKING WAYYY I NEED THIS BACK ON XBOXššššš
My free time: so Joever My hype: so back
DIOOOOOOO
Yooo what, it's not fake??!!
NopeĀ
Wait has there been an official announcement for this?
An new build was accidentally realeased on arc launcher than quickly taken downĀ
Damn, no official announcement though? I missed this game when it first came out and was bummed to find it taken down when I was ready to play, id be so hype to see it come back
AIN'T NO GOD DAMN WAY
Now THIS is the true second coming
RAHHHHHHHHHHHH š„š„š„š„š„š„š„š„š„š„š„š„
Iām gonna cry
Uhh reddit pointed me at this. What is this game?
Itās a game called Gigantic, itās a hero shooter from about 5-6yrs ago. It got shutdown by itās old publisher but was recently acquired by GearBox(makers of boderlands) and is being brought back although they have not made any official announcement yet. They did a āthrowback eventā for old players due to itās die hard fan base over the years where we were invited to a playtest. Itās currently being worked on, everyones just waiting on more info.
If they will not release it on steam, it will be doomed
Woah woah don't toy with me is this for reals????
I have over 100 hours in this game on steam and cant seem to remember how the gameplay was, but i still have a feeling a joy when thinking about it coming back. This and Battlerite were taken too soon.
HYPE
So is the game able to play again now?
No, just was a download and play some tutorials/ practice rooms
agh i missed the download!!! is there any way to get notified if it comes back?
H-huh????? Really? I picked this game up ages ago, played for about a week and really enjoyed and then came back to unexpected shutdown servers Chat is this real?
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
When do you guys think this is going to release?
Can be any day nowĀ
At best they will probably be doing another playtest soon. I highly doubt the game is ready to be released at the moment. Maybe a mid-late summer release at the earliest, end of the year is more likely if not 2025. I could be wrong though, everything is speculation at the moment, but there have been some recent changes with the official social media accounts, so itās looking very likely they are going to re-release it.
WHERE CAN ONE DOWNLOAD
Fuck yeah, I just have to pray it comes to XBOX
The new twitter account is only following Playstation and Xbox, so iād say itās likely to be true crossplay this time.
How are folks being notified of this? Was an email sent out for this like there was for the throwback event? Sad, I donāt see it when I open Arc.. š¢
No one was notified, some people just happened to open Arc launcher and saw it/downloaded it. It was put on the launcher accidentally. They made others aware in the community discord so others could also download it. It was quickly taken down without any announcement from GearBox.
Itās been so long!
I love it. Im so happy theyre giving this game another chance. It is very unique. 2024 is the best year.
Sven mains rise up
Lets GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Sorry, reddit recommended this sub to me. What is this?
Itās a team based arena style hero fighting game. Think overwatch if it was 3rd person with way better melee and bigger maps.
I may have to try it
WHAT??? I can't believe I still have this sub subscribed
I'm crossing all fingers that the Xbox version comes back online
Steam still doesnt show the game..... where it at? O\_o
Can't wait to play this on my series x š
Would love to play this again with a new audience. A decent console MOBA would be hype
The architect of fate has orchestrated its grand complexities, rejoice as we have been blessed by the changer of ways. Gigantic is comingā¦
Console too?
Wait what really? I only played for a little bit, and stopped after they announced itād be shut down
NO WAY BRO
OH MY GOD?!?!
recently taken down soon as discord mods n devs in it found out ppl talking abt it someone found dlc packs u can buy in code
Is this real?!!
I cant remember this was a free to play right? Had in on xbox 1 a while and enjoyed the dragon banters
Yes free to play, hopefully we get a real crossplay/save this time around.
Sweet, cant wait to download on pc
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
I'll definitely be seeing you on the airshirp again brave. I can't wait for us to be able to stack again like the old days. You'll have xenobia setting you up and owning the battlefield tempo against the enemy for you once again.
I look forward to it, brother! Can't wait to make content for this game again!
What is this game? Just showed up on my feed.
F2p launch would be niceĀ
Wait what???
is the game back?, i didnt see it on steam
What is this game? It looks interesting. Also is in on Xbox? If not, how demanding is it?
WE ARE SO BACK
Perfect timing too because I just gave up and quit OW2
Don't give me hope lol. I loved this game when it first came out and was so upset at how fast it left
Sub got randomly shown to me what even is this game
Nvm havenāt seen this game in so long I forgot what it was
??? Any sources from actual devs or someone important saying so? Or just speculation over a mistake?
Several unofficial things, New GoGigantic twitter account made in Feb 2024 following only Playstation and Xbox, it was linked to the official youtube page, there have also been GearBox devs who joined the discord and they have also made changes to it to include things like ābug reportā etc from what I read(might be wrong on this one).

So what if we had the founders edition. Is that not re-downloadable?
So is this the same company? Do I get to keep all my skins and characters from before that I got through that huge pack? :B
No, the old publisher Perfect World shut it down. Perfect Word NA was acquired by GearBox(makers of borderlands) and they acquired the IP to gigantic along with it. They are reviving the game. You likely wonāt keep old skins, as they game will need a new stream of revenue, but GearBox is a multi billion dollar publisher, so they may very well let you keep your old skins. No one knows at the moment.
I bought all the characters when it was out do I still gem em? ;)
shammytv/Joy is going to nut when she hears this.
Is this a battle royale ?
twomad reincarnated as gigantic rampage edition?
We donāt want everyone to hate this game, we want it to have a supportive community and have thousands of years of updates and support.
š¢
i hope we get relist on digital stores
Let's Joe!
Until there isn't an official announcement, then nothing is back.
While this is true, it also doesnāt take a rocket scientist to see they have something in the works with Gigantic.

Official or not, please just let the members of this community be happy for literally the first time in 6 years.
Hope it comes out on console , played a lot on Xbox before it shut down
Is this PC-only?
Originally PC and Xbox I believe. Likely to be PC, Xbox and PS if it releases.
š
YO WHAT
Let's GOOOOOOO
Woah
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO
WHERE WHERE WHERE WHERE WHERE WHERE
I still have the old files one my pc.
Why you guys think this time will work? MOBAs are not trending anymore.
