March of Giants takes place in a "ravaged urban battlefield filled with marvels of science and magic and grounded in the technology of the early 1900s". The player will control towering Giants in "the final battle of a century-long conflict". As a Giant, you will be able to command thousands of soldiers and lead them to victory.

The developers mentioned the following mechanics as something unique that March of Giants is introducing to the MOBA genre (quoting):

• Play As a Giant: Dominate the frontlines as a towering war commander with unique abilities in 4v4 battles
• Lead Your Soldiers: Command thousands of battle-ready soldiers to rally at your side or direct them to crush your enemies
• Deploy Battleworks: Strategize, build, and outsmart opponents with tactical structures that help fight enemy Giants and defend your towers

March of Giants comes from the team behind Rainbow Six Siege. While the MOBA genre may feel saturated with only a handful of games holding out at the top, Amazon Games Montreal's project does feature its unique and salient points.

What remains to be seen is whether March of Giants can not only draw the attention of players but also sustain it for a prolonged time. For that, the first litmus test is the upcoming Closed Alpha.
