General Updates

Shop Updates

With the latest Gigantic news and the release of the final game update, we've made some notable changes to the unlockable content in Gigantic.

All Heroes are now FREE, as we’ve disabled the purchasing of Rubies and Hero Packs*.

Next, we are reducing the cost of all content unlockable with in-game currency. This includes Hero skins, creatures, boosts, and Fortune Cards. In addition, items that previously could only be purchased with Rubies can now also be purchased with Crowns. Any currency on your account can still be used in the Shop to unlock this content, and you can gain Crowns and Rubies through the same in-game methods previously available. New shop prices can be found below.

As a big thank you to anyone who previously purchased a Founder's Pack, two color variants for each of the exclusive skins associated with the packs will be unlocked for those players. These exclusive skins will remain available only to current pack owners and cannot be purchased, like the skins themselves. We are grateful for the support of our players and hope everyone continues to enjoy Gigantic until the game servers are discontinued on July 31, 2018.

• Hero Packs include Founder’s, Ultimate, and Starter Packs.

Founder's Pack Skin Color Variants

We present the triumphant return of the Charnok and Tyto the Swift Founder's Pack exclusive skin color variants. These color variants will be automatically unlocked for free to everyone that owns a Founder's Pack!

• Charnok
  • A Cult of Greed
  • A Cult of Fire
• Tyto the Swift
  • The Songbird
  • The Starbird

Fortune Cards

Increased the number of Fortune Card daily draws to 2. This change is designed to provide more consistent progression for all players, encourage more diversity in Fortune Card selections, and help you find that last card to finish your sets a little faster.
