Enjoying Gigantic? You’re about to love it even more as the first major update hits home.

Perfect World Entertainment and Motiga have today announced that the Exile in the North update for Gigantic has arrived. The first big update for Gigantic is available now to all Xbox One and Win10 players who are playing the free-to-play title, currently available as an Xbox Game Preview title.

In it, you’ll get to check out the lovely Pakko, a huggable, playful giant who loves nothing more than sliding into action before pummelling foes with his powerful paws. It also brings new Winter Themes, several gameplay and quality of life improvements, including more generous end-of-match Crown Boosts and the addition of Honor Bonuses for players who battle shorthanded to the bitter end despite teammate disconnections and drops. Hero Mastery Skins are also now available to unlock as you play and master each Hero.

Full theme inclusions are as follows:

  • Pakko – “I’m Tido!”
  • Wu – “Mercy Gi”
  • Wu – “Shadow’s Chill”
  • Tripp – “Citadel of Frost”
  • Tripp – “Shock Therapy”

New Winter Themed Weapon Skins:

  • Wu – “Mark of Corruption”
  • Tripp – “Icicle Shards”

If you haven’t yet checked out the deep and challenging action that is found within Gigantic, then you should really be heading on over to the Xbox Games Store and checking it out in its current form. You’ll get the opportunity to help shape the game via the Preview Program, watching things evolve over the coming months.

If you’d like to know more, then why not have a little read of our hands on preview piece. It’s well worth the time.

An Xbox gamer since 2002, I bought the big black box just to play Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee. I have since loved every second of the 360's life and am now just as obsessed with the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S - mostly with the brilliant indie scene that has come to the fore. Gamertag is neil363, feel free to add me to your list.
