Motiga Releases a New Hero for Gigantic With “Into Solitude” Update

Perfect World Entertainment Inc., a leading publisher of free-to-play online games, and developer Motiga, Inc. announced today, the launch of Into Solitude, a new monk-themed update for Gigantic. The latest content release for the strategic hero shooter includes two new creatures and the earth-shattering Hero, Rutger, who controls the battlefield by molding the terrain with his powerful ground attacks. Today’s update comes as Gigantic celebrates an exciting milestone – the game now has over two million registered players on Steam, Arc, Xbox One and Windows 10.

Check out the hero overview video, showcasing the new heroe’s features:

“We were so thrilled to learn that two million players have joined us aboard the airship for Gigantic,” said Yoon Im, Sr. VP of Game Publishing & Platform at Perfect World Entertainment. “Motiga has devoted countless hours to developing this game and we’re so proud of everything the team has accomplished so far. This is only the beginning for Gigantic.”

“With the release of today’s update, players can now launch onto the battlefield as Rutger, an ancient and heavily armored warden of the rocky planes and mountains. This tank/control hybrid can pummel his opponents with powerful blows and reshape the battlefield by summoning impenetrable rock walls. There are also several customization options for Rutger now available in the shop, including color variants, monk-themed skins and an Eternal Light weapon skin for players who strive to learn and master the Hero.

New skins and content for Into Solitude will continue to release each week throughout the entire month of September, including new monk-themed skins for other Heroes seeking enlightenment and two new creature variants: the Stone Cerberus and Riftborn Cyclops.

September 19

• Stone Cerberus – A sentinel of living rock, the Stone Cerberus is significantly tougher than its furry brethren, making it incredibly difficult for enemies to withstand its vicious melee attacks.
• New Skins for Wu – Fans of Wu, the game’s famous amphibious fighter, can take advantage of three skins inspired by his time spent training at the temple with Master Wei.

September 26

• Riftborn Cyclops – Blessed with the magic of the Rift, the Riftborn Cyclops uses sorcery to immobilize enemies and summon translucent walls that can only be penetrated by its allies.
• New Skins for Uncle Sven – Uncle Sven has embraced the “flower power” way of life. Players can discover three new floral-themed skins for the wild, potion-throwing alchemist in the shop.

October 3

• New Skins for Charnok – Before becoming a mage, Charnok had to train as a Disciple of Flame. Players can discover three new skins influenced by the fire-ridden trails that the Drakkor had to overcome.
