March of Giants’ first public playtest, called the Pioneer Playtest, is scheduled to begin October 7, 2026, and run through October 18. The test will be exclusive to Steam and region-locked, though eligible regions have not been identified.
To request access, visit the March of Giants Steam page, find the “Join the March of Giants Playtest” section, and click “Join the Playtest.” Players who took part in earlier tests will automatically qualify for this round.
Ubisoft Montreal’s free-to-play MOBA has a 4v4, three-lane format, but its battlefields have a distinctly military focus. Players take the role of a Giant who leads soldiers into battle. The troops act much like a creep wave as teams push through enemy fortifications, destroy Bastions, and fight opposing forces.
Battleworks lets players summon more soldiers, build tactical elements such as trenches, and deploy heavy support units. The game also features bosses, vehicle combat, resource gathering, and a growing roster of heroes. The Pioneer Playtest will give participants a chance to try its matchmaking and mechanics firsthand.
Which part of March of Giants’ mix of lane battles, soldiers, and Battleworks are you most curious to see tested? For updates tied to the October playtest, follow us on X, Bluesky, YouTube, Instagram, Steam, and Telegram.
