There will be no stay of execution for the gorgeous MOBA Gigantic, as PWE has put up a countdown clock for the game’s final day.
“Discontinuing Gigantic was a very painful decision,” the studio reiterates. “Unfortunately its uniqueness did not resonate with as many players as we’d hoped. Despite our best efforts, we were unable to find an impactful solution to maintain the game and allow Gigantic to break through in a crowded market. One last Gigantic thank you to our amazing community for finding joy and entertainment in a game we worked so hard to make for you. The good memories will always live on!”
The sunset was originally announced back in January, though it didn’t come as a surprise even then, as PWE had already shuttered Motiga, the studio that built and ran it.
Gigantic isn’t the only game PWE is disappearing this summer; in fact, it shut down Swordsman and Jade Dynasty last month.
MOP’s Stream Team will be taking one last look at Gigantic tomorrow starting at 10 a.m. EDT – we’ll be there when the lights go dark at 11.
