Ubisoft sets March of Giants playtest for October 7

The in-development MOBA March of Giants will host an open playtest on Wednesday, October 7. The session is described as a pioneer playtest and will be available on Steam, giving players a broad chance to try the game while it is still being built. The announcement follows the project being handed over to Ubisoft studio Massive Entertainment, which is now responsible for its development. Until now the game had mostly been discussed in the context of that handover rather than as a headline topic in its own right. An open test on Steam opens the build to a far wider audience than a closed or internal session would allow, and Ubisoft has tied the playtest to its wider vision for the game.

Framing the event as a pioneer playtest suggests the studio wants player feedback to feed back into development before the game reaches a fuller state. No further dates beyond October 7 were given, so the session stands as the single scheduled chance for players to try the build for now. For a project still finding its footing after a change of studio, the test is a concrete step rather than a promise, and it puts a real build in front of the public while development continues.
