Gigantic's Last Open Beta Update Arrives This Week
The Gigantic team has posted their latest development blog in which they announced that this week marks the final minor update for Giagntic's Open Beta. No, that doesn't mean the game is done. There are still a few months of development work to do before Gigantic is ready for launch: no launch date just yet.
Don’t worry; there’s opportunities for hotfixes should the need arise, but the hope is that we can use the remainder of our beta testing to focus on development in the final months leading up to its launch. That’s a LOT we want to tackle in a (relatively) short amount of time, which is why we’ll be channeling all our collective efforts, energy, and ion into improving and polishing the game...like a super saiyan of creativity, art, programming, and bug fixes!
If you didn't know, Gigantic's mechanics are undergoing some fine-tunings and refinements, "to make it easier for players to learn the intricacies and depth that is there in the game!" That translates to simpler summons, increased guardian power (so that they aid you directly in combat), and respawn timers. And, of course, hero balance.
I'm curious to see how the game ends up playing.
We have an older Sunday Funday where we played Gigantic, but don't take it as an exact example of how the game plays, considering the announced changes.
