Gigantic: Rampage Edition Previews New Hero Roland Ahead Of Its Buy-To-Play Relaunch

The two new maps coming to the reboot. This time, we’re being treated to an early look at Roland, one of the new heroes that will be available on launch day.

Veteran players might Roland as one of the heroes that were playable during one of the Gigantic alpha tests nearly ten years ago. Motiga, however, decided to pull him from the roster before launch. He’ll soon be back with his trusty blunderbuss, grappling hook, and gadgets to literally rain fire down on his enemies.

“A ranged DPS, shooter archetype hero armed with a blunderbuss and gadgets, Roland is a world-hardened man, who lost his arm, but gained unparalleled reach thanks to his grappling hook. With the grappling hook, it can be used to strategically get to different locations in each map – and can be used to either get closer to or further away from enemies. With his hook and blunderbuss in hand, along with powerful gadgets such as his trusty drone and tricky entangling bolas, he can dish out plenty of damage to enemies in an instant while deploying traps to stop enemies in their tracks.”

Roland will be ed by another hero that never made it to the final roster, named Kajir, who we’ll likely get to meet next week. For now, you can watch Roland and his high-flying antics in the new trailer after the jump
