Hello Gigantic fans!

It is time... Ranked Mode Season One for Gigantic: Rampage Edition is now live on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation! After four weeks of warming up in Ranked Pre-Season on PC, we're navigating the airship towards carnage and competition for all players. In this article, we’ll go over all you need to know about Ranked Season One, the rewards you can earn, and the special weekend events that will get you even more rewards. So, without further ado, let's get right into it!

Ranked Season One is set to run for three months, from July 23rd to October 22nd at 3pm UTC. Players level 20 and above can scratch their competitive itch in a dedicated Ranked queue that uses the traditional Clash game mode. After your initial placement matches – the Pre-Season rankings on PC have been reset – you can climb through the ranks, all the way from Bronze to Gigantic Guardian. How far will you make it?

But that’s not all! The houses Aurion and Devaedra want to reward their most dedicated champions, those who step up for battle throughout the whole season. For that, special weekend events will be in place, each running from Friday to Monday at 3pm UTC. Check out the following overview for all weekend events in Season One:

Tyto’s Sakura Weaver skins are up for grabs during our first weekend event.

More specifically, one new hero skin will be awarded upon logging in during the event time, one new weapon skin will be awarded after playing a Rush match during the event time, and two additional color variations for both hero and weapon skins will be unlocked and purchasable with Crowns.

We're really looking forward to jumping into Ranked Mode matches together with you all for Season One.

We’ll see you on the airship and in the ranks of Season One!

Hello Gigantic fans!

Reminder that Season One begins on July 23 across all platforms. We’re very excited for Ranked to officially kick-off and have in-game reward events planned for you to have the chance to get brand-new content that wasn’t in the original Gigantic, like new hero skins and weapon skins for some of your favorite heroes.
