When else has a dead multiplayer game much less a free-to-play live service title been brought back to life?
Gigantic might just be one of a kind.
Rampage Edition takes the free-to-play original and repackages it as a standalone $20 game.
There are no microtransactions this time around, and you could unlock everything just by playing the game.
Gigantic launched to decent reviews and some genuine enthusiasm from players.
But amid all the competition in this genre space it couldn’t maintain much of a community.
By November, Perfect World had shut down Motiga.
On July 31, 2018 almost exactly one year after launch Gigantic’s servers were taken offline.
(Perfect WorldEntertainment, rather confusingly, was merely a subsidiary of the massive Chinese publisher Perfect World.)
What I can say is that the new progression system feels like an absolute godsend.
Gigantic was originally a free-to-play live service title, filled to the brim with microtransactions.
Rampage Edition is a flat $20 purchase that lets you unlock absolutely everything just by playing the game.
The best part is that most Fortunes are static.
What if we could get something like Rampage Edition for everything from Overwatch to Babylon’s Fall?
What if, decades from now, there was a $20 collection of Fortnite Chapter 1?
I only question how long this version of Gigantic is going to stick around.
You remember when2K Games brought the peer-to-peer services for its defunct shooter Evolve back online in 2022?
A year later, those servers were takenright back down.
How long will this version of Gigantic stay online?
